Scottish Water Horizons and Sharc Energy form a Joint Venture
SHARC Energy Systems UK and Scottish Water Horizons Launch JV to Support Green Energy Agenda
Vancouver – (March 20, 2018) – SHARC International Systems Inc. (CSE: SHRC) (FSE: IWIA) (OTCQB: INTWF) (“SHARC”), is pleased to announce that its SHARC subsidiary, SHARC Energy Systems (“SHARC”) has joined forces with Scottish Water Horizons (“SWH”), a commercial subsidiary wholly owned by Scottish Water, to establish a joint venture (“JV”) which will enable them to expand and accelerate the deployment of wastewater heat recovery systems across Scotland.
The joint venture, to be called Bandwidth Energy Ltd. (“Bandwidth”) has been set up to manage the installation and maintenance of a number of key green energy projects which are currently in the advanced stages of planning.
Scottish Water Horizons will provide commercial funding for the projects, with SHARC providing the design, build and operational expertise for the green energy installations.
The Scottish Government is supporting the projects by providing 50 per cent grant capital support through its Low Carbon Infrastructure Transition Programme (“LCITP”).
The new alliance will support the Scottish Government’s ambitious renewable heat and carbon reduction targets for 2020. It is the result of three years of collaboration between SHARC and Scottish Water Horizons, which has created a £20 million ($36.8 million CAD) pipeline of potential installations across Scotland that, when deployed, will generate 170 GWHs per year of heating and cooling to displace the fossil fuel currently used.
This joint venture follows the launch of the UK’s first Sewage Heat Recovery system, developed and installed by SHARC and facilitated by Scottish Water Horizons, at Borders College in Galashiels, which aims to displace 1.8 GWhs (Giga Watt hours) of natural gas and save over 150 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
The system provides heating and cooling to customers through a heat supply agreement. This works much like that of any energy supplier, but the main difference is that customers have no up-front costs. Included in the heat supply agreement are the costs of design, installation, servicing and maintenance and the supply of equipment.
The innovative SHARC™ wastewater heat exchange system, which has been deployed in numerous international locations, intercepts wastewater from sewers and uses heat pump technology to amplify the natural warmth of wastewater. This generates an energy-saving, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly system for heating, cooling and hot water production in commercial and residential buildings.
Russ Burton, SHARC’s Chief Operating Officer said: “This announcement is a very exciting step for SHARC and represents the culmination of three years of very productive work with Scottish Water Horizons to identify opportunities for the SHARC technology. “Having the support from Scottish Water Horizons will give customers confidence in the SHARC technology, positioning it as a sustainable and viable wastewater heat recovery solution.”
Paul Kerr, Managing Director of Scottish Water Horizons, said: “Heat accounts for over 50 percent of Scotland’s total energy use, so by forming this alliance to deploy further heat from waste water schemes, we can help further develop Scotland’s low carbon economy. Our alliance with SHARC provides us with a unique and exciting opportunity to maximise the residual heat that runs through some of Scottish Water’s 32,000 miles of sewer pipes. Using this innovative technology we are able to roll out a sustainable, low-carbon heating solution to our customers, whilst enhancing and protecting the environment. “

SHARC Launching Mass Market Mako System
SHARC International Introduces Mass Market MAKO System
Award-winning waste water heat exchange system now available for individual homes
Vancouver – (March 13, 2018)– SHARC International Systems Inc. (CSE: SHRC) (FSE: IWIA) (OTCQB: INTWF) ("SHARC" or "the Company"), is pleased to announce it has completed the design and fabrication of the MAKO™ waste water heat exchange system. The system is currently undergoing testing at a single detached home in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The MAKO is the residential version of the award-winning SHARC energy system that until now has only been available to provide heating, cooling, and hot water for large-scale projects such as college campuses and high-rise apartment buildings.
The MAKO meets LEED® Canada for Homescriteria, is easily installed in new and retrofit projects. The MAKO will provide families with immediate and long-term energy savings and carbon reduction, and is expected to qualify for the Government of Canada’s clean technology investment program.
The average Vancouver household spends approximately $1,550.00 per year on thermal energy that can be recovered by the MAKO. The estimated operating cost for the MAKO is $350.00 per year, while it delivers annual savings of approximately $1,200.00, paying for itself in less than four years.
As more people around the world install the MAKO, it will cut GHG emissions significantly, offsetting an estimated three to four tonnes of CO2 emissions per year for each household. The MAKO can also be tied to a home’s solar electric system allowing families to gain energy independence with an off-grid system.
“SHARC is continuously driving innovation and finding ways to help clients reduce their energy bill and carbon footprint,” said SHARC CEO Lynn Mueller. “In a very short time, SHARC has extended its reach from district networks all the way down to single detached dwellings, increasing its customer base and importantly for all, having a significant global impact on reducing carbon emissions. Our bigger systems, the SHARC™ and PIRANHA™, are now recognized as mainstream technology; the time has come for the widespread adoption of the MAKO.”
The Company also announces the issuance of 300,000 stock options at $0.36 to directors, management, and consultants of the Company for a term of twelve (12) months.

Omagine, OMAG, press coverage from local media
$2.5 billion Omagine pearl project set for 2017 in Oman
July 12, 2016
by Rahul Das/ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Muscat: Construction work on the multi-billion dollar Omagine Project is scheduled to begin in 2017 and should be complete by 2024, according to the Ministry of Tourism (MoT).
Located in Seeb, the project features seven pearl-shaped buildings which will host hotels, offices, residences and entertainment venues on one million square metres of land, the MoT said.
The project is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs for nationals when it is completed in seven year’s time. The slump in global oil prices has meant project managers have been seeking further funding globally, according to Omagine chairman Frank J. Drohan.
Speaking to Times of Oman, Drohan said that they are in advanced discussions with several institutional and private entities in the United States, Europe and China to finance the project as a quite rational response to the present regional banking environment. “Other companies and governments regionally are quite rationally also reaching out to the international financial markets,” he said.
Drohan said that the longer term project finance is needed only after the detailed master planning and architectural design is completed. “And that is the reason we are working hard on many fronts with Consolidated Contractors Co (CCC) and other investors in Oman and the GCC, Europe, the US and China to make that happen,” he said.
It was in October 2014, Omagine LLC, signed a development agreement with the Government of Oman for the development of a $2.5 billion real-estate and tourism project known as the Omagine Project.
In March 2015 the Ministry of Finance in Oman ratified the development agreement. In July 2015 the development rights to the 245 acres of beachfront land were registered with the government of Oman. In May, Omagine Inc. also sponsored The World Summit on Innovation & Entrepreneurship (WSIE) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
The Omagine Project will have three hotels (which will include serviced apartments and chalets), a boutique mall, an open air amphitheatre, exhibition venues, a harbour and marina area, offices, more than 2,000 residences and a large number of cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues. The Omagine Project will have seven pearl shaped buildings, each with a different theme, such as the Oman Pearl, Innovation Pearl, Energy Pearl, Culture Pearl and Earth, Sea and Sky Pearls.
The Pearls will feature a wide range of tourism experiences, simulations, games, interactive demonstrations, multi-media presentations and a planetarium and a multiplex.

Warren Buffett's Performance plummeted by 40%,Data from 40 years show a stunning Drop, Single Digit Returns expected
Warren Buffett's dramatically decreasing performance, data reveals a stunning 40% decline
Warren Buffett's Performance plummeted by 40% each decade, going forward, we expect Berkshire shareholders would see single digit returns on their investment.
Warren Buffett's performance for each of the last 4 decades decreased by a stunning 40%! after setting a record during 1975-1984, Mr. Buffett's performance precipitously declined over the years as the easy money making opportunities started to disappear.
We were very surprised by the magnitude and the predictable nature of his declining performance. Mr. Buffett, unfortunately, never regained his former glory! Judging from his own historical performance, we think, returns for 2015 – 2024 could drop to single digits! We expect returns for the next decade could be as low as 7% per year.
