Stock market moves higher after a two-day slump

Stronger payroll report, earnings send stock indexes higher; MasterCard jumps 8 percent

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose sharply in early trading Wednesday, a day after renewed worries over Europe’s debt crisis roiled markets around the world. Strong corporate earnings and a better employment report helped turn markets around.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 209 points, or 1.8 percent, to 11,867 as of 11 a.m. Eastern. The Dow lost 573 points the previous two days after the brokerage MF Global collapsed and Greece’s prime minister surprised markets and his own government with a call to put unpopular austerity measures to a public vote.

The fear of a wider financial crisis appeared to ease Wednesday as the euro rose against the dollar and Treasury prices slipped. A revolt in George Papandreou’s government could scuttle the Greek referendum, which would be an enormous relief to investors. Papandreou faces a confidence vote on Friday.

Should voters reject the austerity plan, it could lead to a messy default on Greece’s debt that would send shock waves through Europe’s financial system and likely cause massive losses for banks that hold European debt. Only last week European leaders agreed to a wide-ranging plan to shore up European banks and heavily indebted countries like Greece and Italy.

Stocks rise on hopes for European bank plan

Stocks jump on hopes for latest plan to shore up European banks; new Slovakia vote on tap

NEW YORK (AP) — Hopes that Europe will finally take the bold steps needed to curb its financial crisis are sending stocks higher.

European Commission President Jose-Manuel Barroso presented a plan to strengthen European banks and lower Greece’s debt. It’s being seen as the strongest effort yet to address the region’s debt crisis.

Separately, a Slovakian opposition party leader said that country’s political parties have agreed to approve a deal to strengthen Europe’s financial rescue program. Slovakia blocked the deal on Tuesday, setting back efforts to free up more funds for indebted European countries.

The proposed Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Coal-Fired Generation of Electricity Regulations (the proposed Regulations) will set a stringent performance standard for new coal-fired units and those that have reached the end of their useful life. This will phase out high-emitting coal-fired generation and promote a transition towards lower- or non-emitting types of generation such as high-efficiency natural gas, renewable energy, or fossil fuel-fired power with carbon capture and storage.

The performance standard element of the proposed Regulations would come into effect on July 1, 2015. In addition, units would be required to begin reporting two years in advance of when they reach their end of useful life date or, in the case of new units, in the first year of operation. Regulated entities would then be subject to enforcement and compliance requirements and penalties as specified under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999).

Mantra is well positioned to take advantage of the proposed Regulations with their flagship carbon utilization technology known as the Continuous Co-Current Electro-Chemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide (“ERC”). ERC is a cutting edge technology designed for use by large CO2 emitters such as power plants and large manufacturers. This technology takes the CO2 that is being generated and converts it into valuable by-products.

“We are excited to be ahead of the curve and able to provide big industry with a viable solution to address the new regulations being proposed by the Canadian Government,” stated Larry Kristof, President and CEO of Mantra. “Not only will our ERC technology reduce CO2 footprint for those affected by the new regulations, but will convert the CO2 into revenue generating by-products thereby creating a new revenue stream,” continued Kristof.

“We are excited to give our shareholders an update on our patent application. This represents the next step in getting our leading edge technology recognized by patent offices worldwide,” stated Larry Kristof, President and CEO of Mantra.

ERC, the Continuous Co-Current Electro-Chemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide, is a cutting edge technology for utilizing CO2 generated by industries and other large CO2 emitters such as power plants. This technology takes the CO2 that is being generated by these various large emitters and converts it into valuable products. The ERC process will help emitters reduce their carbon footprint, reduce future potential carbon associated costs and provide a new source of revenue from the conversion of CO2 emissions into saleable materials.

There are currently 27 Billion metric tonnes of CO2 emitted annually from fossil fuel combustion which represents an inexhaustible supply. One of the products produced by the ERC process is formic acid (HCOOH). This is the strongest organic acid available and has numerous beneficial qualities and uses. Existing uses include the following: Farming and animal feed to sterilize and prevent disease, Insecticides, Leather treatment, De-icing of runways which offers no corrosion as with salt and better grip on plane wheels, Cleaning products, Pulp and paper production, and Pharmaceuticals. Future uses include: Precursor chemical into green plastic production, Fuel cells, and formic acid as hydrogen storage medium.

Chemical and electrochemical conversion of CO2 into value-added chemical feedstocks and intermediates is attractive in terms of fossil fuel avoidance. It is estimated that the total CO2 emissions avoidance potential of this pathway is about 0.3 Gt/y (billion tonnes per year). The figure defines a reasonable initial target market for ME, the use 0.3 Gt/y of CO2 to make a similar volume of high value chemicals. An additional assumption is that these chemicals will have an average market value of $1,450 per tonne: giving a market value of $300 billion. This is in reasonable conformity with the ME projections ($350bn) arrived at by a totally different route.

Electro reduction of CO2 (ERC) promises to be deployable and practical: it has a low carbon footprint, is scalable and is economic in its use of electric energy. It has the ability to make a number of high value chemical products.

Stocks fall on worries about slower global economy

Dow falls below 11,000 after US stocks follow global markets lower on economic worries

NEW YORK (AP) — More signs of economic weakness sent stocks tumbling around the world Thursday.

Economic reports in the U.S. and Japan were the catalyst for the drop. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits last week was higher than expected. And a report on inflation showed that consumers were paying more for gasoline, food and clothes. Japan said its exports fell 3.3 percent in July from a year earlier — the fifth straight month that exports fell for the world’s third-largest economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 445 points, or 3.9 percent, to 10,958 about an hour after the open. It was down more than 500 points earlier. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 49 points, or 4.2 percent, to 1,144. The Nasdaq composite fell 112, or 4.5 percent, to 2,399.

Thursday’s plunge meant a return of volatility that has sent stocks falling since July 21. It came after stocks had been relatively stable this week — a time when investors were calmed by strong earnings reports.
