This project is expected to produce between 900,000 – 1,100,000 mmbtus of RNG annually and support up to 43,000 acres of farmland with liquid fertilizer.

LYNCHBURG, Tenn. – November 1, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

3 Rivers Energy Partners is launching a new sustainability project with Jack Daniel’s that represents a significant leap into the future of both the distiller and renewable energy industries. The project is expected to produce between 900,000 – 1,100,000 mmbtus of RNG annually while simultaneously lowering the overall energy usage of the Jack Daniel Distillery. 3 Rivers Energy Partners has partnered with TC Energy to utilize the Jack Daniel Distillery’s spent distillers grains to create an immense amount of renewable natural gas (RNG) and natural commercial fertilizer by feeding the spent distillers grains from the distillery into anaerobic digesters. This process allows Jack Daniel’s to utilize their corn to its fullest potential, completing the nutrient life cycle of the corn used to make whiskey by producing a nutrient-rich natural commercial fertilizer that can be used to replenish the surrounding farmland.

According to the US Energy Information Administration, the expected volume of renewable natural gas is enough to heat over 10,000 homes in Tennessee. The fertilizer created from this project could potentially support up to 43,000 acres of farmland, primarily in Moore, Coffee, and Franklin counties. We expect this to benefit over 400 Tennessee small family farms and for those benefits to ripple throughout the rural economy. Our discounted natural fertilizer avoids about $220 per acre of commercial fertilizer cost at today’s prices which results in nearly $7 million annually of direct regional economic benefit created from fertilizer cost savings for local crop farmers. 

“Our goal is to help Jack Daniel’s create a sustainable future for their company, community, and the planet. With this process, we can reduce operational energy consumption, create renewable energy, help sustain local agriculture, and benefit the families of rural Tennessee. It is truly a full circle sustainability approach,” said John Rivers, CEO of 3 Rivers Energy Partners.

CCT’s Award-Winning Stable Air® Equipment and Foaming Agent provides diverse installation solutions.

BRADENTON, Fla. – November 1, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Cellular Concrete Technologies LLC (CCT), the makers of award-winning Stable Air® cellular concrete equipment and foaming agent, is introducing STABLE Road ™ for road base construction in the United States. The road base utilizes CCT’s CCM 1000 mobile batch plant, Stable Air® foaming agent and aerator equipment. This equipment and materials are now available to road builders nationwide to lease or subcontract services.

Cellular Concrete STABLE Road™ base is a proven technology that can cost 50% less than conventional sand and gravel base. It also reduces pollution by eliminating sand and gravel. STABLE Road™ base is self-leveling and easily placed without heavy equipment and is 100% self-compacted and can be poured in lifts up to 3 feet when conventional sand and gravel must be compacted in 12″ lifts and be inspected at each lift. The use of cellular concrete as a base for sidewalks and roads creates an extremely rigid foundation, thus prolonging the life span of the pavement and reducing maintenance costs. The use of cellular concrete also reduces any damage that dumping and compacting of loose materials may violate and weaken the soil subgrade. This material is easy to use as cellular concrete has a liquid consistency and completely fills all voids in even the roughest excavation. Monolithic non-porous cellular concrete can be cast and aligned exactly to the required thickness. STABLE Road™ base typically requires three to four times less thickness than the loose materials of sand and gravel, and therefore, reduces equally the depth of the pit. STABLE Road™ base also provides protection from the subgrade softening in precipitation. 

In addition to the road base project in Dhaka Bangladesh, CCT’s Stable Air® cellular concrete is being used in many diverse construction projects in the USA and Canada as well. CCT’s Stable Air® cellular concrete was used in the reconstruction of a dam in Southwest Florida for a major utility company, a hydroelectric dam in Ohio as well as New York City cruise terminal piers 88 and 90.  

This new method and technology will save tens of millions of dollars in cost and thousands of labor hours, as well as reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses for years to come around the globe

NEW YORK & PITTSBURGH – November 1, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

• Platform is powered by Cedar’s innovative Payer Intelligence Layer, and is a key component of Highmark Health’s Living Health care model 
• Delivers real-time access to medical bills, benefits coverage verification, deductible status, health savings account balances and more

During a single healthcare encounter, a typical consumer may have multiple, disconnected interactions with their provider and payer about the financial aspects of their visit. For example, consumers looking to pay a bill, check their deductible progress or verify their health benefit account balance might have to utilize multiple communications methods, such as phone calls, apps or provider- and insurer-affiliated web portals. 

This lack of alignment leads to frustration and confusion for consumers, resulting in missed payments, overspending, administrative waste and money left on the table for consumers, who may be unaware of their available spending account funds. Not only do U.S. consumers spend 12 million hours a week on the phone with health insurers, but more than one-third of consumers have been sent to debt collections because of a billing issue between their healthcare provider and health insurer.

To address the systemic challenges consumers face when paying for healthcare, Cedar, an enterprise healthcare engagement platform that improves the end-to-end consumer financial journey, has developed the Payer Intelligence Layer. With the Payer Intelligence Layer, Cedar can now integrate data from health insurers and healthcare providers to help create a single source of information for consumers managing medical bills. A game-changer for the healthcare industry, Pittsburgh-based Highmark Inc. and Allegheny Health Network (AHN) will be the first to launch the new technology for services provided to Highmark Inc. members at AHN wholly owned providers and facilities.

“For too long, payer and provider misalignment has led to a poor experience and lack of clarity for consumers managing healthcare bills — this is a system problem, requiring a system solution,” said Seth Cohen, president of Cedar. “When each party plays a separate role, neither can fix the experience alone. But by bringing both sides together, we can create the best possible experience, reducing billing friction for consumers while delivering more efficient operations for payers and providers.” 

Initially available with Cedar Pay, the company’s billing and payment solution, the Payer Intelligence Layer enables consumers to access insurance explanation of benefits, real-time deductible status and health benefit accounts in the same place where they view and resolve medical bills — using a single, intuitive interface. Unlike other patient billing solutions, Cedar ensures consumers have the most up-to-date benefits information at their fingertips by directly integrating with health insurers as well as banks, which are responsible for administering health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts and health reimbursement accounts.

“Healthcare billing can be fragmented, cumbersome and overwhelming to navigate,” said Neil Kulkarni, vice president, Customer and Clinician Experience Solutions at Highmark Health. “Consumers want clear, easy-to-understand bills for their care and a simple way to pay — with their spending account information available across all channels. As part of Highmark Health’s Living Health model designed to deliver a blended and seamless health care experience, our collaboration with Cedar will help us to meet those customer expectations,” he said.

“The financial experience in healthcare is a real pain point for most consumers, and for most care providers. The issues associated with healthcare billing can only be resolved if all major players come together and collaborate for the benefit of consumers,” said James Rohrbaugh, chief financial officer and treasurer at Allegheny Health Network. “Our work with Cedar will be important in driving real progress in this area, helping our patients and members with an intuitive experience that fosters a sense of control and understanding about their financial responsibility.”

AHN and Highmark are collaborating with Cedar in distinct but integrated ways. Patients who visit AHN providers and facilities will experience the new and enhanced billing, statement and call center process, and simplified access to flexible payment options, all driven by the Cedar Pay platform. For AHN patients who are also enrolled as Highmark members, the enhancements multiply. Beginning at the end of October, the nearly 300,000 members visiting AHN providers will now have the added benefit of having their insurance information incorporated directly into a single billing statement. Members will see how their benefits have been applied, available health spending account funds and their progress towards their deductible and out-of-pocket limits — both when paying AHN bills online, and on the mailed paper statements. 

“We’re excited to be launching with healthcare industry leaders Highmark Health and Allegheny Health Network to solve this persistent problem,” added Cohen, Cedar’s president. “But this is only the beginning: Cedar is continuing to explore more ways of leveraging payer data and new integrations to enrich the end-to-end healthcare experience for today’s consumers.”
