Facilities will be able to recycle 50,000 tons of lead batteries per year while potentially preventing 30 million kilogrammes of GHG emissions every year HOUSTON, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ACE Green Recycling (ACE) has signed an equipment supply and licensing deal with Hakurnas Lead Works Ltd to set up greenhouse gas (GHG) emission-free battery recycling facilities in Israel and Romania. ACE will deploy its proprietary zero-emission lead battery recycling technology at Israel's leading secondary lead producer to progressively create 50,000 tons of lead battery recycling capacity per year, which translates to around USD 60 million lead metal sales annually. Joint Logo_Ace Green Recycling_Hakurnas Lead Works Hakurnas is the Middle East's leading secondary lead smelter with over 60 years of successful operations in Israel. During this time, it has increasingly become one of the key lead suppliers to Europe and North America with its LME-approved brand and, through this partnership, plans to make a positive impact on the regions' goals towards reducing carbon emissions. Miron Badin, CEO and owner of Hakurnas, said: "We immediately recognized the value of the technology ACE was offering to us and are thrilled to be joining them to take the industry in a new, more sustainable direction. It is important to us to link with ACE to become very early adopters of such radical technology, as Hakurnas always aims to be at the vanguard of development in our industry." Lead batteries are a key element in the automotive and telecoms industries, while also playing a crucial role in the energy transition for renewable power storage. Traditionally, lead batteries are recycled via a smelting process which involves operating temperatures of over 1,000°C, producing significant GHG emissions plus toxic solid waste that must go to landfill. Unlike smelting, ACE's recycling technology replaces the smelting furnace and operates at room temperature, runs on electricity, has zero Scope 1 GHG emissions and reduces solid waste by more than 80%. The process will greatly enhance Hakurnas' profitability and minimize their operator and environmental risks. "Hakurnas has always been an innovative company and, with this partnership, we see them as setting new benchmarks for lead battery recycling in Europe and the Middle East, thus leading the way for other battery recyclers in the region. This partnership agreement with Hakurnas is a natural fit for both companies' continued commitment to ensuring global electrification is made not just profitable, but also sustainable," said ACE Green CEO Nishchay Chadha. As part of the deal, ACE will sell its proprietary equipment and chemicals to Hakurnas, and provide technical and engineering support for installation, commissioning and process optimization. Initial operations using ACE's equipment are expected to commence at the Hakurnas plant in Ashdod by Q4 2023, which is then planned to be scaled up in phases following the appropriate authorizations. Once fully deployed, these facilities are projected to recycle 50,000 tons of scrap batteries every year, thereby preventing the emission of 30,000 tons of CO2, stopping 2,400 tons of solid waste from going into landfill, recycling more than 3,500 tons of plastics, and providing high-paying, sustainable green jobs for the community. The agreement also allows for further collaboration between the companies to utilize ACE's proprietary lithium-ion battery recycling processes to setup greenfield developments in Israel and Romania, again using ACE's hydrometallurgical technology. Farid Ahmed, ACE's VP for Global Strategy & Business Development and a long-time stalwart of the international lead industry, commented that "Hakurnas is a natural partner for ACE. We are delighted to be working so closely with a company that also aligns with our belief that the lead industry must continually innovate to secure its mandate to operate. Hakurnas is one of those lead producers that already does a tremendous job of recycling to the highest standards, but also recognizes that we cannot rest on our laurels. We want to give the industry the best tools to do an even better job." ACE is a market leader in both lead and lithium-ion battery recycling, and aims to raise USD 100 million in its upcoming funding round to support its ambitious expansion plans. The company has a team of over 70 people and is dual-headquartered in the US and Singapore.

As H2G innovates in novel hydrogen production technologies, the biochar byproducts of its process will be refined and commercialised under the agreement. SINGAPORE, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- H2G Green Limited (SGX:5AI) ("H2G" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, collectively the "Group"), a leader in sustainable energy solutions, and its subsidiary Green Energy Investment Holding Private Limited ("GEIH") today announced a licence agreement with Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research ("A*STAR"). GEIH is an innovator in sustainable hydrogen with proprietary technologies that repurposes and transforms waste biomass into green hydrogen, as well as biochar and other high-value, sustainable materials. GEIH will commercialise a proprietary treatment process by A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (A*STAR IMRE) to purify biochar, a by-product, into high-value hard carbon material for market use. Hard carbon materials are primarily used as anodes for batteries such as sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries, due to their unique properties. They are also found in applications for water and air purifications as well as conductive additive in paints and coatings. GEIH’s proprietary technology transforms waste biomass into green hydrogen, as well as biochar and other high-value, sustainable materials. Following execution of the licence agreement, GEIH and A*STAR will begin the next phase of scaling up to accelerate the commercialisation pathway of the biochar purification process, focusing on producing hard carbon as anodes for use in sodium-ion batteries. Mr. Sydney Kwan, CEO of GEIH, remarked: "We are deeply grateful to A*STAR for their ongoing collaboration and support. Our joint efforts are transforming the nation into a hub for sustainable technologies and green energy." An earlier exploratory phase found that the hard carbon GEIH produces tends to be superior to existing commercial materials due to a high graphite content, which makes the material favourable for anodes in sodium-ion batteries. These have possible applications for grid-scale energy storage, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics. The abundance of sodium makes sodium-ion batteries a more sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. GEIH's technologies make it especially suited to this endeavour. The Company's proprietary high-temperature thermochemical process turns any type of biomass without silica into hydrogen, biochar, bio-oil (for sustainable aviation fuel), and wood vinegar. The entire process incorporates circularity of materials as a guiding principle, and production of biochar results from incorporating carbon sequestration. The output materials power sectors as diverse as data centres, wafer fabrication, construction, agriculture, food manufacturing, laundry services, and central kitchens. Mr. Pek Hak Bin, CEO of H2G, added: "Hydrogen is the energy of the future and a core part of Singapore's low-carbon energy strategy. H2G is expanding possibilities for Singapore and beyond by pioneering a novel hydrogen production process that is cost-effective, less carbon intensive than electrolysis, and repurposes waste into sustainable materials. These power sustainable industries, as our hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries will empower a broader range of industries to reduce their environmental impact. In this way, H2G creates win-win-win sustainability solutions to multiple problems across industries."

BEIJING, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On February 26, the Sixth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) kicked off at Nairobi, the Capital of Kenya. Environment ministers and heads of relevant authorities from more than 180 countries worldwide attended the conference. As the only Chinese enterprise invited and presented at the UN Science-Policy-Business Forum (UNSPBF), NaaS Technology (NASDAQ: NAAS) shared its green promises and digitalized practices on the scene, providing new proposal in China on global transport energy transformation and environmental governance. The United Nations Environment Assembly is the world's highest-level decision-making body for matters related to the environment. Regarded as a sort of "world parliament on the environment", it's held every two years. UNSPBF is one of the major sessions of the UNEA, engaging delegates of government, academia, business, and non-government organizations from all over the world in discussing issues of global environmental governance. As an international new energy asset operator and the only Chinese enterprise invited on the occasion, NaaS captured the attention of delegates of a host of countries by elaborating on its experience of energy transformation in transport sector and sustainability. Zhai Yubo, General Manager of NaaS Carbon Neutrality Business, expressed that transport is a main sector in carbon emissions, accounting for roughly 1/5 of the world's total carbon emissions. In the era of carbon neutrality, local authorities attach greater importance to the development of new energy infrastructure such as "integrated PV-storage-charging" facility when laying down city blueprint. Take China for example. By 2035, China will have more EVs than ICE vehicles, which is indicative of a demand for 40-50 million chargers. And in consequence, EV charging service, EPC service and O&M service market segments will expand. By 2030, China's charging pile market alone will draw investment approximating RMB 3 trillion. Amid the trend, NaaS persists in advancing transport energy towards electrified and green development, and providing one-stop industry chain service package from charging station siting consultation, EPC, operation and maintenance, energy storage, PV, to autonomous charging robot inclusive. Meanwhile, Leveraging big data, AI and other technologies and algorithms, NaaS is setting in place an online/offline hybrid EV charging and service network. As of September 30, 2023, NaaS connected over 767,000 chargers covering 73,000 charging stations. In the third quarter of 2023, NaaS' charging volume leaped 66% year over year to 1.383 billion kWh, representing 21.8% of the public charging volume in China. Built on such resources and technical strengths, NaaS, with "value of open platforms", delves into new energy investment and consumption with unremitting effort. On one hand, NaaS, based on its self-developed NEF (NAAS Energy Fintech) system, builds a prediction and decision making model with insight into the industry to help local authorities and charging station investors arrange charging infrastructure with appropriateness and monitor post-investment assets in real time. On the other hand, NaaS teams up with its strategic partner Kuaidian to motivate users to engage in carbon emission reduction by awarding carbon credits. By the end of 2023, the service has garnered 594,000 users. "Over the past year, we, on a sound local footing, set a paradigm of 'integrated PV-storage-charging-battery swapping' heavy truck stations in Anji, Zhejiang, in response to actual local demand for battery swapping in heavy trucks. Besides, NaaS also devotes itself to exporting local experience worldwide. During COP28, NaaS and CANGO jointly put forward 'Initiative on Sustainability of Enterprise-Community Integration in the Middle East' to realize the goal of achieving carbon neutrality in the Middle East and the entire world." Zhai added, the practice of sustainable development applied both at home and abroad by NaaS has been acknowledged in the international community. In February 2024, NaaS was scored 60 in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, outperforming over 98% of peer companies in the world. Later in the month, it was rated "Class B" by Carbon Disclosure Project for endeavor in climate change, above the world average of "Class C". Additionally, NaaS joined "Science Based Targets initiative" (SBTi) and United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in succession, giving its pledge to contribute to achieving global carbon neutrality. This year's UNSPBF has showcased the efforts of the United Nations and countries worldwide in realizing goals of environmental fairness and justice, promoting sustainability and spurring actions of improving urban environment. By sharing experience at the forum, NaaS expects to explore more energy solutions and co-create a zero-carbon future through open cooperation.
