Focus Graphite Expands Technical Leadership with the Appointment of Veteran Graphite Executive Richard Pearce as Strategic Advisor

Graphite industry veteran joins Focus Graphite to accelerate the company's operational, purification, production, and commercial readiness.Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 19, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and innovator of next-generation lithium-ion battery technology, is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Pearce as Strategic Advisor.This appointment follows the Company's November 3, 2025 announcement for the conditional award of $14.1 million from Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") under the Global Partnership Initiative ("GPI"). The funding supports the launch of Canada's first chemical-free electro-thermal graphite purification demonstration plant, a key milestone in advancing the country's critical minerals production capabilities and supply chain.Mr. Pearce is a licensed professional engineer, economist, and senior executive with more than thirty (30) years of experience managing, financing, and delivering complex industrial and resource projects across the Americas. He brings deep expertise in the energy transition and critical minerals, combining technical, financial, and operational leadership to build and grow successful companies.As founder and former Chief Executive Officer of South Star Battery Metals Corp. ("South Star"), Mr. Pearce led the development of one of the first new graphite mines in decades to be permitted, financed, and brought into commercial production. Under his leadership, South Star advanced from exploration to full operation, gaining valuable insight into mine development, local community engagement, and sustainable graphite production in Latin America. He has directed multidisciplinary teams on large-scale mining and industrial projects with capital expenditures exceeding US $1 billion, spanning precious and base metals, industrial minerals, and fertilizers.A Qualified Person (QP) under Canada's National Instrument (NI) 43-101 standards, Mr. Pearce brings a rare combination of modern, hands-on graphite production experience and regulatory expertise. His addition to the Focus team enhances the Company's ability to de-risk and accelerate the transition from development to production while maintaining technical and environmental standards."No two graphite deposits are the same," said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "Each deposit has its own characteristics, and we wanted someone who has been through it, who has figured out what works and what doesn't, and truly understands what it takes to put a graphite mine into production. Richard is one of the few people today who has done this successfully, and his experience will help us avoid costly trial and error and ensure our demonstration plant reflects real world operating conditions."In his role as Strategic Advisor, Mr. Pearce will lead the optimization of Focus Graphite's upstream operations — ensuring that ore processing, flotation, and concentrate recovery are fully aligned with the Company's downstream purification strategy as it moves into the demonstration phase.His immediate focus will be overseeing upcoming ore-processing campaigns for the Lac Knife Project, evaluating ore behaviour through grinding, flotation, and concentration to define the optimal equipment selection, process-flow design, and material-handling methods required for larger-scale production. The resulting test work will generate the empirical data needed to maximize graphite recovery and product quality.In parallel, Focus is preparing to launch its first pilot plant program for the Lac Tetepisca Project, where Mr. Pearce will play a central role in assessing ore performance and designing the associated flowsheet. His involvement across both projects ensures a unified, evidence-based operational strategy rather than reliance on theoretical models.As Focus progresses toward permitting, construction, and commercialization, Mr. Pearce's mandate is expected to expand to include offtake partnership development, operational scaling, and overall production readiness, supporting the Company's plan to build a fully integrated mine-to-market graphite supply chain in Quebec."I have taken a graphite project from early exploration through construction and commercial production," said Richard Pearce. "Along the way, I have learned where the real challenges lie — in logistics, processing, scaling, commercialization, and the countless details that only emerge once you build and operate a mine. Those lessons are scarce and invaluable in the West, and I look forward to helping Focus Graphite move efficiently toward production."Hanisch added, "There is a big difference between theory and real-world performance. Richard will help us bridge that gap, ensuring that our demonstration facility and future mining operations are designed for practical, field-tested performance. His experience will be key to de-risking our path forward."As part of his engagement, Mr. Pearce has been granted 50,000 stock options, exercisable at C$0.60 per share for five (5) years under the Company's incentive stock option plan, subject to regulatory approval, and may also receive cash compensation for certain advisory services.Qualified Person The technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Richard Pearce, PE, President of Brasil Insight Capital LLC., a consultant to the Company, and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI-43-101.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.

CM Energy’s Green Methanol Breaks Into EU Market With ISCC EU Certification ACN Newswire

CM Energy’s Green Methanol Breaks Into EU Market With ISCC EU Certification

HONG KONG, Nov 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – As part of the World Maritime Merchants Forum 2025, the Intelligent Ship Building Thematic Forum, hosted by China Merchants Industry Group(CMI) and organized by CM Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (00206.HK, CM Energy), commenced in Hong Kong on November 18. During the event, CM Energy officially launched its green methanol project and obtained the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC EU) on the same day. This milestone marks the official entry of CM Energy’s green methanol into the EU market, laying a solid foundation for its global expansion.CM Energy’s green methanol achieves a more than 70% reduction in greenhouse gas emission intensity compared to conventional fossil-based methanol. The project’s first phase boasts an annual production capacity of 20,000 to 30,000 tons—enough to power two 24,000 TEU container ships for a full year—with deliveries scheduled to begin in December 2025. Following technological upgrades, annual output is expected to reach 60,000 tons.As the global shipping industry's transition toward low-carbon and net-zero emissions becomes a universal consensus, green methanol has emerged as a core option for shipping decarbonization. A representative in charge of CM Energy stated that the company has partnered with Shandong Energy Group to build a green methanol plant in Jining, Shandong. By retrofitting existing coal-to-methanol infrastructure and adopting a co-processing route that incorporates biomass, the project not only preserves existing production capacity but also significantly enhances GHG reduction performance—offering a viable solution to the high-cost transition challenge faced by traditional chemical plants.Currently, all links of the project, including raw material collection, biochar production, and green methanol synthesis, have successfully passed the rigorous ISCC certification, making it the world's first green methanol project to obtain full-process certification in accordance with ISCC Co-processing Version 2.0 Guidance. The certification not only opens up global market channels for domestic green methanol but also provides a replicable path for low-carbon transition of traditional chemical enterprises worldwide through an asset-light, high-compliance co-processing model.Wu Sichuan, Chairman of China Merchants Industry Group, highlighted that green technology is one of the three strategic emerging sectors under the Group’s "Third Pioneering Endeavor" initiative. China Merchants Industry will serve as both a "manufacturing scenario implementation and equipment innovation platform," while CM Energy will take the lead in green energy equipment and supply. China Merchants Industry is committed to becoming a cost-leading, green technology-driven manufacturing enterprise driven by technological innovation, led by digital transformation, and based on lean management, contributing to the high-quality development of the shipbuilding industry and supporting the accelerated construction of a transportation power and a maritime power.Also during the event, Bureau Veritas, an internationally recognized certification body, awarded the ISCC EU certification certificate for green methanol to CM Energy. The certification ceremony was attended by distinguished guests including Zheng Nanfeng, Professor of Xiamen University and Director of Tan Kah Kee Innovation Laboratory; Alexander Döll, CEO of the Global Methanol Fuel Association; Nicolas Brown, Corporate Affairs Director of Bureau Veritas; Mei Xianzhi, General Manager of CMI; Li Hongyuan, Deputy General Manager of the Strategic Development Department (Science and Technology Innovation Department) of China Merchants Group; Mei Zhonghua, Deputy General Manager of China Merchants Industry and Chairman of CM Energy; and Zhang Zhen, Independent Director of CM Energy.As an important platform for China Merchants Group's green technology development, CM Energy is stepping up its layout in the green energy value chain—with a focus on hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia—in both equipment manufacturing and energy supply services. The company strives to become a leading integrated service provider for marine green energy and equipment in China. Moving forward, CM Energy will continue to collaborate with partners to expand green methanol production capacity, promote the development of a complete green methanol industrial chain —from feedstock to bunkering—advancing the widespread adoption of green methanol in the global market.

GMG G-LUBRICANT Achieves 13.8% Fuel Saving in Major Australian Charity Rally ACN Newswire

GMG G-LUBRICANT Achieves 13.8% Fuel Saving in Major Australian Charity Rally

Brisbane, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 18, 2025) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the G-LUBRICANT product demonstration test in a charity car rally across 3,850 kilometres in Australia (the "Charity Rally"). The Charity Rally ran from Australia's central city of Alice Springs to the country's Gold Coast. GMG sponsored the GC Strip rally team from the Gold Coast in their participation in the Charity Rally (the "Rally Car Team").Before the start of the Charity Rally, the Rally Car Team drove 2,650km, 2,180km on sealed and 470km on unsealed roads, from Gold Coast to Alice Springs over a three day period. The Rally Car Team made the trip in a Ford Falcon Petrol/Gasoline engine rally car that had not yet been treated with G-LUBRICANT. On the trip to Alice Springs, the Ford Falcon averaged 10.8ltrs / 100km of fuel.The Charity Rally itself began in Alice Springs and ran a total of 3850 kilometres, approximately 2,000km on sealed and 1,850 on unsealed roads (some of which had river crossings and were badly rutted), to Australia's Gold Coast. After adding G-LUBRICANT, the Ford Falcon Rally Car averaged 9.3ltrs / 100km on the trip, a reduction of 1.5ltrs / 100km, approximately 13.8%, in fuel efficiency savings.The Rally Car Team Lead – Scott Hubbard – commented: "Not only did we have better fuel efficiency, but we noticed a little drop in engine temperature and the engine definitely sounded smoother. By the finish line, we had beaten the car up pretty badly, front end suspension gone, front shocks completely failed, cracked windscreen, roof damage, exhaust damaged, front wheels knocked out of alignment, gearbox issues, several tyres shredded and a number of cosmetic damages to the car. In fact, the only thing that really made it through the rally unscathed and in perfect working order was the engine!"To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/274970_gmg01en.jpgThe Charity Rally is not a race, but rather a challenge to achieve the unthinkable to drive cars worth just $1,500 across Australia via some of its most formidable roads, all in the name of charity. The Charity Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research with funds going to Cancer Council, one of the largest non-government funders of cancer research in Australia. Cancer Council conducts and funds research studies across all cancers and all stages of the cancer journey. Thanks to the community funds raised by events such as the Charity Rally, Cancer Council can fund world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer for everyone. Approximately $59 million over the past 15 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects.GMG's Chief Executive Officer, Craig Nicol, commented: "We were proud to sponsor the Charity Rally charity team from the Gold Coast – the GC Strip – it was so good to see them get a good fuel saving result from G-LUBRICANT at such a worthy event – we get consistent feedback that our graphene enhanced engine oil additive provides 10% or above fuel savings – so great to see the GC Strip Rally Car Team got this as well."GMG's Chairman and Non-Executive Director, Jack Perkowski, commented "Such a great customer testimonial for such a great product."About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process.

Notably, the HKTDC and Greater Bay Airlines Company Limited signed an MoU to deepen collaboration through diverse channels, working together to further Hong Kong’s position as a preferred world-class city destination for global trade and tourism.Exploring industry trends and unlocking new opportunitiesThis year’s conference, themed “Collaboration and Growth in the New Trade Landscape”, brought together global industry leaders to discuss trends and opportunities in logistics, maritime and aviation. Key focus areas included supply chain diversification and opportunities in emerging markets, sustainability and green energy and innovation and technology.In recent years, global enterprises have faced diverse challenges such as geopolitical tensions, shifting global tariffs and ongoing supply chain disruptions. During the session “Steering Business Growth in a New Era of Global Trade”, Brian Bourke, Global Chief Commercial Officer SEKO Logistics, shared: “Watch out for the new technologies. The future is already here. Partnerships are critical, if not more so today than ever before. In order to help any organisation navigate through disruption, the focus must be on a resilient supply chain and diversification. But I do have to say that it’s the partnerships you forge that are going to help when the unknowns happen.”In the same session, Henri Le Gouis, Executive Vice President, Global Freight Forwarding of GEODIS, remarked: “When you talk about disruptions, you talk about escalation. We need to be escalating to the right people in the different organisations we work with to find the right solutions. And rapidly, we need people who are able to decide, make the right decisions, and find the right solutions even if the events are unexpected. It's important to select the partner you work with that will find solutions when times are getting difficult.”As the world advances toward net-zero emissions, green transformation has become critical to achieving sustainable development in logistics and associated industries. On the second day of ALMAC, the “Green Energy Forum: Fuels, Freight, and the Road to Net Zero” featured suppliers and logistics companies, sharing how innovative technologies can help in the implementation of sustainable strategies, align with global policies, reduce carbon footprints and accelerate progress toward net-zero goals. James Laybourn, Regional Segment Director, APAC of DNV Energy Systems, shared: “We talk about many options in terms of fuel, including additional fuel, diesel, and fuel for ships. We need to see where the priorities are and how exactly to tackle this energy transition.”The Hong Kong SAR Government is actively promoting the development of the low-altitude economy. Leveraging ALMAC as a platform, a dedicated session titled “The Engine of Low-altitude Economy: How Cargo Drones Are Revolutionising the Future of Air Logistics” was hosted on the opening day. Among the speakers, Bobby Healy, CEO and Founder of Manna Drone Delivery, stated: “The challenge has always been to find a friendly drone-regulated country. The next challenge is going to be accessing the actual airspace because, in Europe, we have standards and regulations for the low average. Individual countries have not implemented them yet.”Kenny Lau, Chief Technology Officer of S.F. Express (Hong Kong) Limited, shared: “First, we should create an efficient and high-value investment space to maximise the benefits in the world, and we also have to integrate with the logistics network. Second, we should share resources. The sky is very busy in the GBA area, especially in Hong Kong. Thirdly, we should build a standard framework. Hong Kong is a very good platform for competition.”Another key session at the conference was “Digital Workshop – Implementing AI in your Supply Chain”, delivered by Steve Ng, Head of Supply Service – Hong Kong, Taiwan of Reckitt, showcasing multiple use cases and supply chain automation planning processes. The “Youth Empowerment Workshop” discussed trends in logistics and supply chain management along with career prospects and continuous value enhancement strategies that can attract new talent to the industry.The ALMAC exhibition this year showcased over 90 exhibitors with dedicated zones for aviation, the low-altitude economy, supply chain management and logistics services, maritime and port services and logtech. Appearing for the first time, the Low-altitude Economy zone highlighted globally leading low-altitude logistics technology solutions, further promoting strategic partnerships and business development in this fast-rising sector.As advocated in the Action Plan for Modern Logistics Development by the Transport and Logistics Bureau, the Hong Kong’s NextGen Logistician Award Presentation Ceremony 2025 was held on ALMAC’s second day. These prestigious awards honour the exceptional achievements of young talents in innovative, high-end, smart and sustainable logistics.

Kincora Commences Drilling at the Wongarbon Porphyry Project

First ever hole to basement geology commenced at the Wongarbon projectDesigned to test a large buried magnetic anomaly interpreted as a gold-copper porphyry targetSeeks to confirm the Wongarbon project hosts one of the few remaining large and untested intrusive complexes of the Macquarie Arc and located within a common transverse structure to the recent 14.7Moz gold equivalent Boda and Kaiser porphyry discoveriesAnticipated 650 metre hole expected to take approximately 4-weeks to completeFunding grant from the New South Wales (NSW) State Government supports an anticipated cost of less than US$100,000 to Kincora shareholdersResults will assist optimise follow up exploration, including Kincora's multi-phase partnership with Fleet Space Technologies' (Fleet Space) utilising its AI-powered ExoSphere platform, which integrates real-time geophysical sensors, proprietary multiphysics surveys, geochemistry and AI-enabled drill targeting into a single workflowFleet Space has the right to earn a minority non-carried interest in the project with drillingMelbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 18, 2025) - Gold-copper explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) ("Kincora" or "the Company") is pleased to have commenced drilling at the Wongarbon porphyry project designed to provide the first ever sample of basement geology and test a prominent magnetic anomaly analogous to the anomalies associated with the largest greenfield discoveries in the Macquarie Arc in recent decades.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, commented:"There is a good chance that the next Cadia-scale deposit in the Macquarie Arc will be found in the covered and underexplored parts of the Lachlan Fold Belt. This is virgin territory and a major opportunity with huge upside. Regional magnetics has proven very effective in mapping the prospective Macquarie Arc belts and the major porphyry deposits have identifiable magnetic intrusive complex signatures. The Wongarbon project is a real stand out untested example of this signature in the right location and with the right features.I am very excited for Kincora to drill the first hole ever into basement geology at Wongarbon. This hole is set to finally test a target that I had first recognised back in 1996 before the Cadia-Ridgeway and Far East discoveries that year. Wongarbon is a prime candidate for major discovery, and this first hole will provide very valuable information to assist guide follow up activities."Sam Spring, President and CEO and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, added:"Wongarbon is an elephant scale target located in elephant country, favorably located near to and potentially associated with the most significant new porphyry system discovery in NSW of recent decades (the Boda-Kaiser deposits).While you can't ever expect to make a discovery with your first hole, regardless this hole will greatly assist follow up exploration and optimise the innovative multi-phase partnership in place with Fleet Space.Coupled with last month's funding grant from the NSW Government, the risk reward scenario is highly compelling and unique on a global perspective. The expected cost of less than US$100,000 to Kincora shareholders compares exceptionally well to similar nature targets requiring budgets of greater than US$1-million in the America's. This hole is in-line with Kincora's capital efficient value add strategy for its sole funded projects and offering shareholders multiple shots on goal with seven different licenses being drilled within a 12-month horizon."BACKGROUNDThe remaining untested intrusive complexes of the Macquarie Arc porphyry geology are a globally significant exploration opportunity as recently indicated by the significant discovery and resource growth by Alkane Resources' at the Boda and Kaiser deposits (now 14.7Moz AuEq) and Evolution Mining at the Cowal mine (taking a resource of 3.4Moz Au at the time of acquisition to now 13.8Moz endowment producing over 330,000oz Au in FY2025).Within the district various exploration groups have been having greenfield and early-stage exploration success at previously untested and open volcano-intrusive complexes of the Macquarie Arc. These groups include AngloGold Ashanti in partnership with Kincora (at the Nyngan, Nevertire South and Nevertire projects), AngloGold Ashanti in partnership with Inflection Resources (at the Duck Creek and Trangie project's), FMG directly and with Magmatic Resources (latter at the Myall project), Gold Fields in partnership with Gold and Copper (privately held around Cadia, drilling commenced), S2 Resources with Legacy Minerals (at the Glenlogan project), Newmont with Koonenburry Gold (at the Fairholme and Junee projects), Gilmore South (LinQ Minerals) and most recently Waratah Minerals (with its new Consols discovery at the Spur project), amongst others.In 2024, Kincora opportunistically pegged the Wongarbon project directly from the NSW State (100% ownership) and has brought in a technical and funding partner (Fleet Space). On October 20th 2025, Kincora announced the award of a grant for up to A$143,483 by the State Government supporting drilling.The award follows a competitive expert panel review process, monies are non-dilutionary and funds drilling on a matched dollar-for-dollar basis. The grant is provided by the Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Exploration Program within NSW's Critical Minerals Strategy 2024-35. These programs reiterate a favorable pro-investment and operating environment in NSW, with the Macquarie Arc being Australia's foremost porphyry region and a Tier 1 global copper-gold jurisdiction.The Wongarbon license is interpreted to host one of the very few remaining, completely untested, volcano-intrusive complexes of the Macquarie Arc. The license covers a large (173km2) portion of the interpreted Macquarie Arc geology situated under post mineral cover that has not previously been drill tested or sampled.The Wongarbon project was a priority for drilling in 1996 by Newcrest Mining (led by John Holliday) before the discoveries at Cadia-Ridgeway and Far East (latter now known as Cadia East) within three holes of each other that year. Almost thirty years later, Wongarbon remains undrilled and John Holliday is leading Kincora's exploration strategy at the project and seeking to finally advance the geological understanding of this new district scale opportunity and a compelling large porphyry system target.Figure 1: The Wongarbon project is interpreted to hosts one of the few remaining large and untested intrusive complexes of the Macquarie Arc and be located within a common transverse structure to the recent 14.7Moz gold equivalent Boda and Kaiser porphyry discoveries.Virgin ground on strike and potentially associated with common transverse structures to the best greenfield discoveries in the Macquarie Arc in recent decades + new gen tech partnership with Fleet Space + NSW Government Grant.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/274905_kincora1.jpgBoth Alkane and Magmatic Resources are undertaking exploration and drilling at up to seven targets along a common transverse structure that is interpreted to potentially extend into the Wongarbon license and be a key control to the 14.7Moz AuEq resource inventory at the Boda and Kaiser porphyry copper-gold discoveries.It is well documented that the composite volcanic and intrusive complexes elsewhere in the Macquarie Arc have large alteration and geochemical halos that are identifiable from regional geophysical surveys (features interpreted to be present at the Wongarbon project), with the mineralised deposits generally situated on intrusive level cross-arc structures (such as those currently being tested by Alkane and Magmatic, hosting the Boda-Kaiser deposits, and, interpreted to extend into the Wongarbon project). The latter interpretation is also supported by recent proprietary surveys and interpretation at the Boda-Kaiser deposits by Fleet Space, who Kincora has partnered with to advance the Wongarbon project.The commence drill hole utilises cost effective mud-rotary drilling cover sequence and diamond core drilling in the basement rocks with NQ triple tube diameter diamond core tail. This technique is time and cost effective for gaining initial samples of porphyry-prospective basement and is being used by Kincora in similar terrain in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt at the Nyngan, Nevertire South and Nevertire projects under the earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.Figure 2: Kincora has commenced drilling the first hole to basement at the Wongarbon project (EL9652) testing southern section of the Wongarbon Magmatic Complex.A ~650m rotary mud-diamond tail hole seeks to test a large buried magnetic anomaly interpreted as a copper-gold porphyry target.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/274905_f3ec9fb3a420a87c_004full.jpgFor further details and technical disclosures on the Wongarbon project, please refer to the following press releases:October 22nd, 2025, "Kincora awarded drilling grant for Wongarbon project"October 15th, 2024, "Kincora announces Strategic Investment & Expanded Partnership with Fleet Space"June 3rd, 2024, "New Major, Completely Unexplored Porphyry Complex and Drill Targets Secured"Further details are available on the NSW Government's Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Exploration Program and the Critical Minerals Strategy 2024-35 are available at: https://www.resources.nsw.gov.au/invest-nsw/industry-support.For further details on Fleet Space Technologies, please go to its website at: https://www.fleetspace.com/.For further information, please contact: Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive Officer Laurie Thomas, Strategic Advisorsam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345laurie.thomas@kincoracopper.com or +1306 341 3826 Media Contact Julia Maguire, Managing Director, The Capital Networkjulia@thecapitalnetwork.com.au or +61 2 7257 7338 Executive officeSubsidiary office Australia 400 – 837 West Hastings Street C/- JM Corporate ServicesVancouver, BC V6C 3N6, Canada Level 6, 350 Collins StreetTel: 1.604.283.1722 Melbourne, VIC, Australia 3000 About Kincora: Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused gold-copper explorer with a hybrid project generator strategy.The Company is successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets.

香港, 2025年11月18日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 11月18日,由招商局工業集團主辦、華商能源科技股份有限公司承辦的第五屆世界航商大會船舶智造專題論壇在香港舉行。會上,華商能源(00206.HK)正式發佈綠色甲醇專案,該專案當日斬獲國際權威認證機構頒發的國際可持續發展和碳認證(ISCC EU)。這也意味著華商能源綠色甲醇產品獲得歐盟准入證,為專案進入國際市場奠定堅實基礎。華商能源綠色甲醇專案的平均溫室氣體排放強度較化石燃料制甲醇降低70%以上,可滿足國內港口國際航運船舶綠色燃料加注需求。專案首期年產綠甲量為2萬—3萬噸,可滿足2艘24000標箱的集裝箱船一年的燃料需求,預計今年12月開始交付。專案完成技術升級後年產量將達6萬噸。隨著航運業向低碳、淨零方向轉型成為全球共識,綠色甲醇成為航運減排核心選項。華商能源相關負責人介紹,華商能源聯合山東能源集團打造山東濟寧綠色甲醇工廠,利用現有煤制甲醇裝置,採用核心工藝技術包進行設備改造,通過煤基工藝摻燒生物質的技術路徑生產綠色甲醇。這一創新路徑不僅保留了現有裝置的產能,還大幅提高了溫室氣體減排強度,破解了傳統化工低碳轉型的"重投資困境"。目前,該專案原料收集及生物炭製備、綠色甲醇生產等環節,均順利通過ISCC嚴格認證,成為全球首個按照ISCC Co-processing V2.0指導檔全流程認證的綠色甲醇專案。此次認證落地,不僅打通了國產綠色甲醇的全球市場通道,更以輕資產、高合規的共處理模式,為全球傳統化工企業低碳轉型提供可複製路徑。招商局工業集團董事長吳四川表示,綠色科技是招商局集團"第三次創業"中三大戰略性新興產業方向之一。招商工業將扮演"製造場景落地與裝備創新平臺"的雙重角色,華商能源則扮演綠色能源裝備與能源供應的"排頭兵"。招商工業致力於打造成為一家以科技創新為驅動、以數位化轉型為引領、以精益管理為基礎的成本領先的綠色化科技型製造企業,為推動船舶工業的高質量發展,服務加快建設交通強國、海洋強國。當日,國際權威認證機構法國必維集團為華商綠能頒發了綠色甲醇ISCC EU認證證書。廈門大學教授、嘉庚創新實驗室主任鄭南峰,全球甲醇燃料協會首席執行官亞曆山大·多爾,法國船級社企業事務總監尼古拉斯·布朗,招商工業集團總經理梅先志,招商局集團戰略發展部(科技創新部)副總經理李弘遠,招商工業副總經理、華商能源董事長梅中華,華商能源董事張真等出席頒證儀式。作為招商局集團發展綠色科技的重要平臺之一,華商能源正在以"氫醇氨"為主要賽道加大佈局綠色能源產業的力度,聚焦能源裝備製造和能源供應服務,致力於打造中國領先的船用綠色能源與裝備綜合服務商。下一步,華商能源將繼續攜手合作夥伴,持續擴大綠色甲醇產能,推動構建從原料收集到產品加注的完整綠色甲醇產業鏈,推動綠色甲醇在全球市場的廣泛應用。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Icarus’ Future: A Miami-Born Campaign Telling COP30 Leaders Our Children’s Future is at Stake – Just Won Seven LUUM Awards ACN Newswire

Icarus’ Future: A Miami-Born Campaign Telling COP30 Leaders Our Children’s Future is at Stake – Just Won Seven LUUM Awards

MIAMI, FL, Nov 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Our Present, Icarus' Future reframes the delay on climate action by centering parents, children, and human stories - using a visceral installation, a global petition, and an art contest to translate feeling into civic pressure ahead of COP30. Because the policy choices made today will determine the life chances of children born this year.Born on climate-vulnerable Miami Beach and amplified at Climate Week NYC, Our Present, Icarus' Future uses immersive storytelling to reveal how rising heat, sea-level rise, pollution, and extreme weather affect a child's lifetime to demand enforceable emissions cuts, an end to fossil-fuel subsidies, and limits on industry lobbying.By connecting the cautionary myth of Icarus to today's climate crisis, the campaign not only is raising awareness but also mobilizing public support to put pressure on world leaders to act decisively. To date, it has engaged an estimated 38.2 million people across digital and traditional media platforms, received tens of thousands of petitions, and just won seven LUUM Awards (2 Gold, 5 Silver), recognized across Causes, Human Rights and Health categories.The campaign is supported by Zubi, a creative agency specializing in culturally resonant, impact-driven work, and by VoLo Foundation, a family philanthropy that accelerates evidence-based climate solutions and community education."Winning at LUUM validates something we already believed: art can move people… and people move policy," said Yoca Arditi-Rocha, CEO of The CLEO Institute. "Today, as negotiators gather in Brazil, we ask leaders to make the hard choices: cut planet-warming emissions, end taxpayer subsidies for fossil fuel pollution, and keep industry lobbyists out of global climate talks. "World leaders: you are guardians of the future, not its auctioneers. At COP30, choose children over corporate profit. Every heartbeat matters.""CLEO has masterfully used the myth of Icarus as a timely metaphor for the climate crisis. Just as Icarus' wings melted when he flew too close to the sun, our planet is at risk of a similar fate if we ignore the warnings of scientists. Icarus as a child, symbolizes the next generation who will inherit the world shaped by today's choices," said Thais Lopez Vogel, cofounder and trustee of VoLo Foundation."I think as humans, we've grown indifferent to messages. We're bombarded with information every day, tied to multiple screens, and we no longer take the time to really listen. We've become immune. To break through that noise, we have to be disruptive and be unexpected. Our approach was to use a "voice" that didn't speak with words, but whose life carried the message. A silent messenger, a baby, life itself, that made people stop and finally listen." said Iván Calle, VP Executive Creative Director of ZubiPolicy demands at COP30Enforceable, rapid emissions reductions and an accelerated pathway to phase out fossil fuels.An end to fossil-fuel subsidies and public financing that incentivizes planet-warming pollution.Safeguards that limit special-interest influence and prevent fossil-industry lobbying from shaping UN climate negotiations.Learn more at: Act4Icarus.orgWhy this matters nowPublic funding continues to prop up the problem: fossil fuels receive roughly $1.5 trillion annually in direct subsidies and when indirect costs such as health and climate damages are included, support swells to roughly $7 trillion a year. Also, recent reporting last week shows a heavy fossil-fuel lobby presence at COP30; a dual political and financial barrier for these negotiations and the reason this campaign matters most now.Cities and regions like Miami already face rising costs and compounding disaster risk: home-insurance rates, infrastructure strain, displacement and disproportionate impacts on frontline communities. With the US absent in this global stage, the world is watching COP30. Political choices made this November will shape whether nations accelerate an equitable transition or bake in greater harm for future generations. The time is now. Later will be too late.Media opportunitiesCLEO can provide on-camera interviews and a mother-centered story at COP30, campaign assets, video, petition and contest data.About The CLEO InstituteThe CLEO Institute is a women-led, nonpartisan nonprofit turning climate science into action through education, advocacy, and community engagement. Florida-born and nationally recognized, CLEO has educated 62,000+ people in climate science, unlocked millions for local and state solutions, and is known for creative, award-winning campaigns. CLEO partners with government, business, academic, and community leaders to combat misinformation, mobilize civic power, and advance resilient climate policies.About ZUBIzubiad.com is a multicultural communications agency founded by Tere A.

OBI-902 has been granted by US FDA for Orphan Drug Designation for the Treatment of Cholangiocarcinoma ACN Newswire

OBI-902 has been granted by US FDA for Orphan Drug Designation for the Treatment of Cholangiocarcinoma

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, Nov 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OBI Pharma, a clinical-stage oncology company (4174.TWO) received notification from the US FDA stating that the request for Orphan Drug Designation of OBI-902 TROP2 ADC for the treatment of Cholangiocarcinoma has been granted. OBI-902 is the first OBI-developed ADC that incorporates our proprietary site-specific glycan-conjugated ADC enabling technology.Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare and lethal malignancy with fewer than 50,000 patients in the United States and a 5-year survival rate ranging from 2% and 23% depending on disease stage, histological subtype, and localization 1 . At present, there are no FDA approved ADC therapies for cholangiocarcinoma.To encourage the industry to develop new treatment options for rare diseases, the US FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation to experimental therapies that have the potential to treat these diseases. In the United States, a rare disease is defined as any condition that affects fewer than 200,000 patients. After granting Orphan Drug Designation, the US FDA qualifies companies or drug developers incentives such as tax credits for clinical trials, exemption from user fees, and marketing exclusivity2.In August 2025, OBI launched a phase I/II clinical trial in the United States and Taiwan, recruiting patients with advanced solid tumors. The objectives of the trial are to study the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy profile of OBI-902 in these patient populations.Heidi Wang, Ph.D, OBI Pharma's Chief Executive Officer noted, "Based on our preclinical data, OBI-902 has several important advantages over other TROP2 ADCs either approved or in development; including high stability in blood circulation, excellent bystander effect that extends the killing to neighboring cancer cells lacking TROP2 expression, potential ability to overcome drug resistance, and outstanding activity in animal and organoid models of cancer. Importantly, this marks the first time an ADC that incorporates OBI's proprietary GlycOBI® ADC technology is being evaluated in patients, including those diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma. We look forward to investigating this potential best-in-class TROP2 ADC in the clinic."About OBI-902OBI-902 is a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that carries a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload to kill tumor cells and with a drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of 4. TROP2 is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors such as breast, lung, biliary, bile duct (cholangiocarcinoma), ovarian, gastric, and many other cancer types, rendering it an ideal target for cancer therapy.OBI-902 is a novel site-specific glycan-conjugated ADC using OBI's proprietary GlycOBI platform, which provides improved stability and enhanced hydrophilicity. OBI-902 demonstrated remarkable antitumor efficacy, improved pharmacokinetic characteristics, and a favorable safety profile in various animal models. The IND of OBI-902 was cleared by the US FDA on April 30, 2025.Since December 2021, OBI has been granted by Biosion, Inc. (www.biosion.com) an exclusive, worldwide (except in China) license to a TROP2 targeting antibody amino acid sequence. Biosion holds exclusive rights to that antibody sequence in China. OBI holds worldwide commercial rights to OBI-902, except for the rights pertaining to the antibody in China.About GlycOBI®OBI has developed a unique clinical stage, glycan-based site-specific ADC technology (GlycOBI®), which is in a ‘Plug and Play' format and compatible with any antibodies, linkers, and payloads in drug-antibody ratio (DAR) up to 16. Utilizing OBI's proprietary dual-function enzyme (EndoSymeOBI®) and linker technology (HYPrOBI®), homogenous ADCs are manufactured with an efficient and scalable process under GMP conditions. The conjugation process of GlycOBI® avoids disrupting the antibody structure and ensures the ADC has similar biophysical characteristics to the native antibody. Furthermore, OBI's linker technology has improved conjugation efficiency of the payload, reduced aggregation propensity, which provides advantages on manufacturing ADC products. GlycOBI® conjugated ADCs have overcome the limitations of traditional ADCs and achieved better antitumor activity and stability in various in vivo animal studies. GlycOBI®, EndoSymeOBI®, and HYPrOBI® are part of the armamentarium of OBI's Obrion™ ADC Enabling Technologies that also include ThiOBI® and GlycOBI DUO™. OBI-902 is the first ADC utilizing OBI's Obrion™ ADC enabling technology for evaluation of safety and efficacy in Cancer, currently under Phase I/II clinical trial in the US and Taiwan.About OBI PharmaOBI is a clinical stage global oncology company that is headquartered in Taiwan and established in 2002. Its mission, together with its wholly owned subsidiary OBI Pharma USA, Inc., is to develop novel therapeutic agents for patients with high unmet medical needs.OBI's primary focus is the development of novel ADCs, including the first-generation cysteine-based TROP2 ADC, OBI-992. Using the company's proprietary ADC enabling technology, GlycOBI®, powered by EndoSymeOBI® and HYPrOBI®; OBI has created its next-generation novel ADC pipeline, including monospecific: OBI-902 (TROP2), OBI-904 (Nectin-4), bispecific single payload (HER2 x TROP2), and bispecific, dual payload (cMET x HER3) ADCs. To broaden the applicability of linker technology, HYPrOBI®, OBI further developed a novel ThiOBI® platform to enable irreversible cysteine-based conjugation. Additionally, OBI's pipeline includes the first-in-class AKR1C3-targeted small-molecule prodrug OBI-3424, which selectively releases a potent DNA-alkylating antitumor agent in the presence of the aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) enzyme that is highly expressed in tumors.

Focus Graphite Commissions WSP to Complete Air Dispersion Modelling and Dust Management Plan at Lac Knife ACN Newswire

Focus Graphite Commissions WSP to Complete Air Dispersion Modelling and Dust Management Plan at Lac Knife

The updated study incorporates redesigned dry-stack tailings system engineered to eliminate acid mine drainage and is one of the final ESIA reports.Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 17, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects, is pleased to announce that it has commissioned an updated Air Dispersion Modelling and Dust Management Study (the "Study") for its 100%-wholly owned Lac Knife Project (the "Project") in Quebec. This work represents one of the final environmental studies required to complete the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") and advance the Project toward mine-permitting readiness.The Study will be led by WSP Canada Inc. ("WSP"), a world-leading Montreal-based global engineering, environmental, and professional-services consultancy, and will be conducted under the supervision and management of IOS Geosciences Inc. ("IOS"), the Company's geological consultant and general contractor for the Project. WSP includes the former Woods Engineering, which participated in the 2019 preliminary design of the dry-stack tailings storage facility ("TSF"), as well as Golder Inc., which conducted the original 2014 Study.The Study will evaluate the potential airborne dispersion of dust and gases associated with mining operations, including:wind-driven erosion from the TSF,emissions generated by blasting activities, andtraffic-related dust along the 7-kilometre access road linking Lac Knife to Highway 389.This updated modelling replaces the earlier 2014 study to reflect the re-engineered dry-stack tailings design, developed as part of the 2021 Feasibility Study (the "Feasibility") update. The redesign eliminates the former wet-pond configuration and instead utilizes dolomitic marble to amend and encapsulate tailings, thereby preventing acid mind drainage ("AMD") and metal leaching. This new TSF concept was considered material enough to necessitate remodelling of the areal dispersion.The current program directly addresses follow-up questions from Quebec's Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, and the Fight Against Climate Change ("MDDELCC"), issued during its review of the Company's 2014 ESIA submission. Results from the Study are expected by February 2026, aligning with the planned submission of the final revised ESIA."The completion of the air dispersion modelling and dust management plan marks one of the last major technical steps in our environmental review process," said Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. "We are now systematically finalizing outstanding ESIA components to move Lac Knife toward the permitting stage. Each of these studies reflects our ongoing commitment to advance the Project responsibly."Qualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Rejean Girard, P.Geo.
