Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate |
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate | 12. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates Investments in which we are deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, except in cases where the fair value option is elected. For such investments where we have elected the fair value option, the election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment–by–investment basis at initial recognition. In April 2022, we agreed to acquire for cash a 25% equity interest in ECOTEC, a company specializing in methane emissions detection, monitoring and management. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we contributed $3.1 million to maintain our 25% ownership interest in ECOTEC. We have elected the fair value option to account for this investment, and during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized unrealized losses of $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of our investment (see Note 26 (“Fair Value Measurements”)). Changes in the fair value of this investment are recognized in other (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023, our ownership interest in ECOTEC is 25%, which is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For ownership interests that are not accounted for under the equity method and that do not have readily determinable fair values, we have elected the fair value measurement alternative to record these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, including adjustments for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Investments in equity securities measured using the fair value measurement alternative are reviewed for impairment or observable price changes in orderly transactions each reporting period. In November 2023, we agreed to serve as the lead investor in a series A preferred financing round for Ionada, a global carbon capture technology company committed to reducing GHG emissions and creating a sustainable future. Ionada has developed a post-combustion carbon capture solution to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from various small to mid-sized industrial emitters in the energy, marine and e-fuels industries, among others. We have elected the fair value measurement alternative to account for this investment (see Note 26 (“Fair Value Measurements”)). Adjustments to the carrying value are recognized in other (income) expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our initial investment in Ionada was $3.8 million and as of December 31, 2023, our fully diluted ownership interest in Ionada is 10%, which is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Subject to certain conditions, our ownership interest will increase to 24% over the next three years.
