ClearVue secures $80,000 first sale of new greenhouse technology
ClearVue Technologies has chalked up another run on the board by securing its first commercial agri-tech sale to install its greenhouse ground-source heat-exchange technology. The deal is worth $80,000.
The sale was achieved through ClearVue's wholly owned Israeli subsidiary Opticrop, which ClearVue formed last year to acquire the intellectual property and assets of ROOTS Sustainable Agricultural Technologies.
ROOTS was an Israeli-based protected-cropping agriculture technology supplier formerly listed on the ASX. Its award-winning assets include Root Zone Temperature Optimization and Irrigation by Condensation technologies, which the company developed to enhance plant growth and productivity.
The technology also optimises water use, using stand-alone irrigation systems that extract water from humidity.
'This first sale for OptiCrop is a significant milestone for our ag-tech division and demonstrates early commercial traction in the protected cropping space.'
ClearVue Technologies Global chief executive officer Martin Deil
Under the deal, OptiCrop's proprietary ground-source heat-exchange cooling solution will be installed at a one-acre greenhouse being constructed by a global irrigation and greenhouse provider.
The system's cooling coils are designed to optimise the temperatures of nutrient fluids that supply elevated plant gutters across the greenhouse for improved plant growth and energy efficiency.
ClearVue Technologies Global chief executive officer Martin Deil said: 'This first sale for OptiCrop is a significant milestone for our ag-tech division and demonstrates early commercial traction in the protected cropping space. It validates our strategic direction following the acquisition of ROOTS and underlines the strong market potential for integrated solar greenhouses and sustainable climate-control solutions.'
ClearVue's focus has for some time been strongly directed towards agricultural greenhouse design, employing its proprietary solar photovoltaic glass technologies to provide and support other optimal greenhouse solutions.

Live sheep export ban transition advocate to meet WA Agriculture Minister within weeks
WA Agriculture Minister Jackie Jarvis is set to meet the Federally-appointed live sheep export ban transition advocate within weeks after accusations the State Government had 'walked away' from the industry. Shadow agriculture minister Lachlan Hunter came out swinging last month after it was revealed Ms Jarvis had not met the WA-based advocate, Dr Chris Rodwell, since his appointment to the role five months ago. Dr Rodwell, a former CSIRO staffer, was picked by the Federal Government to facilitate two-way communication between the Commonwealth and farmers affected by Labor's plan to ban live sheep exports. A spokeswoman for Ms Jarvis said the Cook Government had been 'clear and consistent from the start' in its lack of support for the Federal Government's planned live sheep export ban and a meeting with Dr Rodwell had been in Ms Jarvis' diary 'for some time'. She declined to reveal what date and where the meeting would take place, but said it would be 'within weeks'. 'We understand the Transition Advocate has met, and is meeting, with a range of stakeholders and industry representatives, including the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, as part of their role,' the spokeswoman said. 'Minister Jarvis has an upcoming meeting with the transition advocate, which has been scheduled for some time.' Dr Rodwell was appointed as the transition advocate for the Federal Government in January, taking on a role described as Australia's 'most unpopular job' by industry leaders and the Opposition. Ms Jarvis' spokeswoman said the State Government had gone in to bat for WA farmers affected by the ban, netting an additional $32.7 million in Federal funding for the transition package after lobbing to have it increased from $107m to $139.7m. 'This additional funding was announced in October and as part of this announcement, the Federal Government committed $43.5m for WA to support processing capacity grants and community wellbeing,' she said. 'A process is under way to contract providers for the $1.5m community wellbeing program, with announcement expected in August. 'Program guidelines for the Commonwealth Government's $40m processing capacity program are being developed by Rural Business Development Corporation in partnership with the Commonwealth.' The live sheep export ban is set to come into effect in mid-2028. Mr Hunter, who is the Central Wheatbelt MLA, said the State Government's lack of engagement with Dr Rodwell demonstrated it had walked away from the industry. 'It's shocking that the Agriculture Minster has not bothered to meet with Dr Rodwell after nearly five months,' he said. 'It confirms what we've long suspected — WA Labor has walked away from our sheep producers, exporters, and regional communities. 'No State-led plan. No advocacy. No care. 'WA is the home of Australia's live sheep trade — and Labor has thrown it under the bus.' Ms Jarvis' spokeswoman said while the State Government opposed the end of live sheep export, 'the Federal legislation has passed'. 'Even the member for Central Wheatbelt acknowledged this ... in the Legislative Assembly, stating 'to be fair, the Federal Government won the election and has a mandate to end the live sheep trade. It took that to the people and people spoke',' she said. 'The Cook Government will continue to work with industry and advocate on their behalf for certainty and sustainable future here in WA for meat processing, WA sheep meat and wool producers.' A spokeswoman for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry confirmed Dr Rodwell was scheduled to meet Ms Jarvis regarding the phase-out transition. 'Dr Rodwell has met with a number of State Government representatives and will initiate further meetings as required,' she said.

Lunch Wrap: ASX stays above water as Wall Street busts records; goldies rally
ASX edges up after Wall Street hits record Gold climbs, oil slides Insignia jumps, Vik Bansal steps down as Boral CEO The ASX kept its head above the surface by Tuesday lunchtime in the east coast, rising a modest 0.15%. Overnight, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both rewrote the record books, fuelled by big tech tailwinds and Wall Street's growing obsession with rate cuts. Trump was again in the thick of it, heckling Fed Reserve boss Jerome Powell from his digital pulpit and warning him to cut rates or face the wrath. With traders now betting on at least two rate cuts in 2025, gold is back in favour. The precious metal nudged up to around US$3,312 an ounce this morning. The US dollar, bruised and limping, is down 12% from its January highs, which also made bullion a whole lot shinier for buyers. Oil, on the other hand, has taken a tumble. WTI is now hovering around US$65 a barrel as traders weigh up how much more OPEC+ is planning to pump out. Back home on the ASX, defensive sectors – utilities, staples and real estate – led the gains this morning. In the large caps space, Insignia Financial (ASX:IFL) delivered the morning's biggest bang, surging as high as 9% after CC Capital said it's getting serious about making a binding bid. Meanwhile, Kerry Stokes' SGH (ASX:SGH), the owner of once-listed Boral, dropped nearly 2% after news broke that Vik Bansal will step down as Boral CEO and shift into a non-executive role at Seven Group Holdings (ASX:SVW). Investors weren't thrilled about the timing, given SGH only took full control of Boral last July. David Di Pilla's HMC Capital (ASX:HMC) took a hit too, sliding more than 14% after its energy transition lead Angela Karl quit, and it delayed closing the deal for Neoen's Victorian wind and battery assets by a month. And, insurance heavyweight Insurance Australia (ASX:IAG) lifted its profit guidance, now expecting full-year insurance profits between $1.6 and $1.8 billion, up from its previous $1.4 to $1.6 billion range. Shares were still down 0.2%.

It's struck a deal with EWI and Slipform to wipe out over US$440 million in debt by converting it into shares, subject to shareholder approval. The new shares would be priced at 88 cents and would lift EWI and Slipform's stake from 41% to around 53%. If the deal goes through, the company says it will be debt-free. At the same time, long-time boss Brian Allen is stepping down after 24 years. Alan Jowell will step in as interim Chair, and Edward McCartin takes over as CEO from today. Wound-care biotech Next Science (ASX:NXS) is planning to sell off almost all of its assets to Italy's Demetra for US$50 million, pending shareholder approval. After clearing debts and costs, it expects to return around US$30 million to shareholders. The deal includes its IP, contracts, inventory and approvals, but not its DME (durable medical equipment) business. Next Science says the sale gives its infection-fighting tech a better shot at global scale under Demetra's roof. If approved, it will wrap up the transaction and then weigh up its future as a listed company. AI-powered edtech outfit OpenLearning (ASX:OLL) has sealed a new three-year SaaS deal worth around $495k with CE-Logic, a major education publisher in the Philippines. The agreement will see OpenLearning's platform used by at least 3,000 students in year one, and 20,000 in years two and three, with potential upside if usage climbs. It marks the company's third big win in the Philippines this year, bringing total minimum contract value to about $1.26 million. And, snack maker OMG Group (ASX:OMG) just clocked its best month ever, booking $602k in June sales and turning a $242k operating cash-flow surplus. That pushed FY25 revenue to $4.13m, up 63 % and comfortably ahead of its $4m target.
