Turks & Caicos Market Report Year in Review 2020 by Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The 2020 TCI real estate market performed better than we ever could have hoped for in the context of COVID–19, a four-month country-wide shutdown and stringent travel requirements. And I guess our task in this space is to seek to answer the question, as set forth by the great David Byrne of Talking Heads: «Well, how did we get here?!»

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The 2020 TCI real estate market performed better than we ever could have hoped for in the context of COVID–19, a four-month country-wide shutdown and stringent travel requirements. And I guess our task in this space is to seek to answer the question, as set forth by the great David Byrne of Talking Heads: «Well, how did we get here?!»

Let’s start abroad: After the stock market cratered, it began to recover quickly and it became clear this was not a rerun of the 2008 financial crisis. Soon thereafter, we witnessed affluent buyers starting to move on luxury vacation property from Vail to Aspen, and from the Hamptons to South Florida. COVID–19 was triggering the opposite of the financial crash of September 2008, in that luxury real estate was highly desired by those looking for easy-to-access, safe-haven retreats away from urban areas and primary homes. With airports and resorts closed, and most commercial planes not flying, the luxury market was, quite urgently, seeking out real estate!

In TCI, initially, we were not so lucky, as our borders were completely closed from March 24 until July 22. We did however start to (virtually) close Q1 pipeline business and built a bit of momentum via the private jet class just prior to, and after, the airport closures. Q2, (led by the sale of a couple of a trophy properties and several new development villa sales) was also assisted by welcomed stimulus from the TCI Government with a concession halving stamp duty for the second quarter. This helped us close sales during this torturous time for our hotel, resort and villa rental partners grappling with the border’s closures. And this is really the first time in our history that our real estate industry has not been so directly tethered to tourism flow.

After a steady Q3, usually our slowest quarter, Q4 started strong and ended with a flourish, bringing the market to within 15% of last year in gross sales volume ($339M vs. circa $290M) and ahead of 2018 which was a strong year in its own right. Our market has passed yet another stress test with flying colors, as buyers flocked to quality and new development based on ever-present fundamentals of great quality product and ease of access and use. As my partner Nina Siegenthaler simplified in a recent Zoom meeting: «People really want to be here!» Indeed, and now we are experiencing what the Hamptons and Vail Valley and other luxury vacation markets have, with similar buyers seeking a warm weather luxury, safe-haven destination.

We have also witnessed buyer motivations come into clear focus: They want quality, the ease-of-use and access and security, and are less motivated by rental income opting for personal use and long-term capital appreciation. As a Hamptons real estate agent said in early summer, «life plans changed in a weekend,» and while that may be an overstatement for this market, it is clear that buyers (and most existing TCI property owners) have put their umbrellas in the sand with a clear intention: They really want to be here!

In closing, it is wonderful to see old and new friends coming back to the island enjoying our Beautiful By Nature experience. So far, we are doing well with our COVID protocols and travelers are getting used to testing and the authorization process for arrival. In this sense, as our friend and colleague Mark Durliat, CEO of Grace Bay Resorts, recently stated, we have created a bit of an «island bubble» that feels just right for the times. We must of course remain vigilant, but with light at the end of the tunnel in the form of vaccinations (TCI is already administering our first supply), consistent testing and stringent protocols, we envision a positive and hopeful 2021.

We wish you all much health and happiness in the New Year 2021, and many thanks to our team, partners, colleagues, clients and fellow community members by doing what we always do and rising to the occasion.

New Technology and Training for Sanitizing Auto Interiors

ATLANTA, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Contagion Busters, Inc., recently formed in response to the pandemic threat, now offers the auto dealership and independent shop the equipment and training to sanitize in minutes the interior of an automobile after the maintenance and repair work has been completed and before the customer slips behind the wheel.

ATLANTA, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Contagion Busters, Inc., recently formed in response to the pandemic threat, now offers the auto dealership and independent shop the equipment and training to sanitize in minutes the interior of an automobile after the maintenance and repair work has been completed and before the customer slips behind the wheel. 

The Contagion Busters process employs UV-C frequency light, the same light used in hospitals and EMT vehicles to sanitize operating rooms, patient rooms and ambulance bays. 

Sanitizing a vehicle with UV-C in a shop environment presents special challenges. The process must be effective and fast. Faster than an oil change. That requires the irradiating power of advanced medical equipment, a level far greater than consumer UV lights can deliver.

Contagion Busters technicians identified industrial equipment capable of delivering this level of power and rugged enough to survive daily use in the cruel environment of the shop floor. They upgraded components of the industrial units to deliver UV-C frequency with the irradiating power of hospital UV-C systems—systems that usually require unmanned and robotic equipment to deliver the extended exposure time necessary to assure every corner of the space has been adequately irradiated. The Contagion Busters lamp, the most powerful hand-held unit made, can safely sanitize a vehicle interior in minutes. It can neutralize pathogens as far as eight feet from the light source and, because it is aimed by hand, a trained technician can focus on critical touch points and quickly navigate any cabin configuration. Contagion Busters equips and trains shop staff to use this powerful technology effectively and safely. What’s more, they provide the shop with the media elements to explain the benefits and value of UV-C sanitizing to the customer.

James Stevens, president of Contagion Busters, says Contagion Busters UV-C sanitizing may be added to the service menu as a courtesy service or as a service option. It represents the high standard of customer care that builds customer loyalty and the bottom line.

His passion for winning, his dedication to his teammates and his admiration for his fans is unwavering. It is one of the greatest honors of my career to be able to bring GeT_RiGhT to Dignitas and look forward to collaborating on new media and fan engagement opportunities that will extend well beyond the Counter-Strike community.»

Drivers, restraints, and opportunities-

Rising air passenger traffic across the globe, high suitability of hydrogen as aviation fuel, and reduced GHG emissions fuel the growth of the global hydrogen aircraft market. On the other hand, high costs associated with the production & handling of hydrogen and huge investments required for the approval and certification of hydrogen based aircrafts impede the growth to certain extent. However, proactive government initiatives toward hydrogen powered aircrafts and growth in infrastructural development for hydrogen across the globe are projected to pave the way for lucrative opportunities in the industry.

COVID-19 scenario-

  • The outbreak of COVID-19 led to worldwide lockdown and this, in turn, affected the manufacturing facilities of hydrogen aircrafts to a significant extent.
  • Also, the pandemic happened to force the governments across the globe to put more emphasis on medical services, due to which, the countries are directing most of the capital in the healthcare industry which is bowling over the investments in the hydrogen aircraft sector.

Get detailed COVID-19 impact analysis on the Hydrogen Aircraft Market Request Here!

The less than 100 segment to dominate by 2040-

Based on passenger capacity, the less than 100 segment is expected to contribute to more than three-fourths of the global hydrogen aircraft market share in 2030, and would lead the trail by 2040. Initially the hydrogen aircrafts can occupy less than 100 passengers. This factor drives the segment growth. The 101-200 segment, on the other hand, would manifest the fastest CAGR of 22.30% during the forecast period, owing to higher feasibility and ROI associated with more number of passengers, in regards with the available hydrogen aircraft technologies.

The short haul segment to maintain the dominant share-

Based on range, the short haul segment is anticipated to account for nearly half of the global hydrogen aircraft market revenue in 2030, and would rule the roost by the end of 2040, due to the fact that they are the simplest in design and first-enters in the hydrogen aircraft market space. Simultaneously, the medium haul segment would exhibit the fastest CAGR of 21.10% by 2040, owing to the increasing demand and viability for medium haul flights.

Europe, followed by North America, is expected to garner the major share in 2030 –

Based on geography, Europe, followed by North America, is expected to garner the major share in 2030, holding more than half of the global hydrogen aircraft market. This is because the major countries in the region such as UK, Germany, France, and Spain have invested extensively to shove the development for hydrogen-fuelled aircraft. The market across Asia-Pacific, however, would register the fastest CAGR of 22.80% throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that China and Japan are one of the biggest manufacturing hubs across the world.

Key players in the industry-

  • AeroDelft
  • AEROVIRONMENT, INC.
  • Airbus S.A.S.
  • Alaka’i Technologies
  • HES Energy Systems
  • Pipistrel d.o.o
  • PJSC Tupolev

How to Reduce the Spread of Infection in the Workplace

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With the winter holidays having come to an end, millions of Americans will be returning to work during the peak of flu season. As this transitional period continues, American business owners will be tasked with implementing the proper measures to protect their employees during this unprecedented time.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With the winter holidays having come to an end, millions of Americans will be returning to work during the peak of flu season. As this transitional period continues, American business owners will be tasked with implementing the proper measures to protect their employees during this unprecedented time. The team behind The GREEN DRAIN™, an environmentally water-free trap seal, is actively spreading awareness about the potential dangers that traditional drainage systems can cause for American businesses, as it has been proven that said systems are known culprits of virus transmission.

With businesses already struggling to stay open due to COVID-19 restrictions, the last thing any business owner needs is yet another health-related concern to begin the new year. Unfortunately, studies conducted by the World Health Organization and other well-established healthcare institutions have found that both pathogens and bacteria can easily spread in traditional drainage systems. 

Drains provide exceptional conditions for these deadly inhabitants to feed and multiply within the biofilm-lined walls of the drainpipe. Over time, this can lead to negative health consequences for both consumers and employees. Recently, reports have emerged stating that COVID-19 is now spreading through floor drains in the same way SARS did during the 2003 pandemic in Hong Kong, China. 

When sanitation systems are not working properly, business owners can run into problems such as the growth of multi-resistant bacteria and the spread of harmful infections. A collection of microorganisms in drain lines, known as biofilm, can protect inhabitants from external influences such as disinfectants, UV radiation and dehydration. Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) are shielded with this additional layer of protection, causing an extra layer of trouble for facility managers looking for solutions. Waterborne pathogens such as Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms (CPOs) can also pose a serious problem, as they can become airborne and contaminate a facility in its entirety, threatening the indoor health and wellness of its occupants.

While there is a multitude of problems facing business owners in relation to traditional drainage systems, there are ways to prevent such outbreaks from occurring.

Ineffective methods that have grown in popularity in recent years include pouring bleach down drains and bioremediation. In most cases, these solutions have minimal effect and can even cause more harm than good in certain situations. 

By far, the most important action step for American business owners to take in the fight against dangerous drain-based pathogens is the introduction of a sturdy, physical barrier in the form of a waterless trap seal. Waterless trap seals can prevent pathogens and bacteria from growing and contaminating the pipes in the first place and can greatly reduce the spreading of aerosolized waterborne pathogens, the cross-contamination of deadly disease-causing bacteria, and the dissemination of harmful sewer gases/odors (hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, methane, esters, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides), as well as pests.

Faculty managers, janitorial workers, and American business owners can rely on the environmentally friendly GREEN DRAIN™ and have peace of mind knowing that they have installed a sustainable product that prevents the cross-contamination of deadly bacteria.

To learn more about the GREEN DRAIN™ and how it can be instrumental in the prevention of viral transmission, please visit the website, blog and Facebook page

About 

The GREEN DRAIN™ is an environmentally friendly water-free trap seal, which can be installed in basically all floor drains without the use of tools.

Rising air passenger traffic across the globe, high suitability of hydrogen as aviation fuel, and reduced GHG emissions fuel the growth of the global hydrogen aircraft market. On the other hand, high costs associated with the production & handling of hydrogen and huge investments required for the approval and certification of hydrogen based aircrafts impede the growth to certain extent. However, proactive government initiatives toward hydrogen powered aircrafts and growth in infrastructural development for hydrogen across the globe are projected to pave the way for lucrative opportunities in the industry.

COVID-19 scenario-

  • The outbreak of COVID-19 led to worldwide lockdown and this, in turn, affected the manufacturing facilities of hydrogen aircrafts to a significant extent.
  • Also, the pandemic happened to force the governments across the globe to put more emphasis on medical services, due to which, the countries are directing most of the capital in the healthcare industry which is bowling over the investments in the hydrogen aircraft sector.

The less than 100 segment to dominate by 2040-

Based on passenger capacity, the less than 100 segment is expected to contribute to more than three-fourths of the global hydrogen aircraft market share in 2030, and would lead the trail by 2040. Initially the hydrogen aircrafts can occupy less than 100 passengers. This factor drives the segment growth. The 101-200 segment, on the other hand, would manifest the fastest CAGR of 22.30% during the forecast period, owing to higher feasibility and ROI associated with more number of passengers, in regards with the available hydrogen aircraft technologies.

The short haul segment to maintain the dominant share-

Based on range, the short haul segment is anticipated to account for nearly half of the global hydrogen aircraft market revenue in 2030, and would rule the roost by the end of 2040, due to the fact that they are the simplest in design and first-enters in the hydrogen aircraft market space. Simultaneously, the medium haul segment would exhibit the fastest CAGR of 21.10% by 2040, owing to the increasing demand and viability for medium haul flights.

Europe, followed by North America, is expected to garner the major share in 2030 –

Based on geography, Europe, followed by North America, is expected to garner the major share in 2030, holding more than half of the global hydrogen aircraft market. This is because the major countries in the region such as UK, Germany, France, and Spain have invested extensively to shove the development for hydrogen-fuelled aircraft. The market across Asia-Pacific, however, would register the fastest CAGR of 22.80% throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that China and Japan are one of the biggest manufacturing hubs across the world.

TORONTO, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – e-Zinc, a Toronto-based energy storage innovator, announced today it has raised $2.3 million in a closed round led by BDC Capital’s Cleantech Practice.

e-Zinc has developed a breakthrough technology for grid-scale energy storage that stores energy in physically-free zinc metal. By decoupling power and energy, the company scales energy capacity at a fraction of the cost of lithium-ion batteries, enabling the technology to economically deliver energy over a period of multiple days. This low-cost, flexible, and long-duration energy storage solution will enable the world’s energy markets to be fully powered by renewable energy.

«Markets like California, New York, and many others have made commitments to be 100% renewable in 15-20 years from now. This necessitates energy storage technologies with durations of multiple days, as opposed to batteries which are only capable of multiple hours. e-Zinc’s solution is a critical component to achieve our dreams of a carbon-free energy grid,» said James Larsen, CEO of e-Zinc. «BDC’s investment and team will help accelerate the commercialization of our energy storage solution, allowing us to successfully deploy our company’s first pilot projects.»

«Breakthrough Energy Solutions Canada brings together the public and private sectors to build Canada’s clean energy future. e-Zinc’s energy storage technology is an example of how innovation will get us to net-zero by 2050,» said the Honourable Seamus O’Regan, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources. 

«We are excited to support e-Zinc – a winner of Breakthrough Energy Solutions Canada – to commercialize its novel technology for cost-effective, long-duration energy storage and help decarbonize the world’s energy markets» said Jérôme Nycz, Executive Vice President, BDC Capital.

This financing completes a year in which e-Zinc successfully raised an equity round of $3.5 million in January, led by Energy Foundry, and also secured $6.5 million in non-dilutive grant funding, including a $1.6 million investment from NRCan’s Breakthrough Energy Solutions Canada. The company intends to deploy its first in-field system in May 2021 with Faromor at their facility in Stratford, Ontario. This project is financially supported by Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) and NRCan.
