Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (FSE: 0GF) ("GMG " or the "Company") is pleased to advise that the Company has taken a Final Investment Decision ("FID") on Phase 1 of its graphene manufacturing expansion project. The expansion project includes an executed 5 year lease to expand total office and warehouse space to 3,500 square metres, the next generation of the Company's proprietary graphene production technology with enhanced automation, a micro-grid with energy storage component to improve commercial and environmental electricity supply for the production process, and an infrastructure corridor to allow rapid scaling of further graphene manufacturing capacity during future phases of the graphene manufacturing expansion project. The project will be managed and executed by the Company's engineers with Wood engineering (the Company's graphene manufacturing scaling engineering service supplier) providing safety, assurance and design review services.
Following positive potential customer feedback from G+AI battery coin cell prototype testing, and ongoing enhancements to the Company's unique graphene production process, the Company believes enhanced and expanded production facilities are now appropriate.
The lease commitment of the additional new office and warehouse space of 1,500 square metres, which is adjacent to the existing Company leased 2,000 square metre office and warehouse, is intended to accommodate new staff and expand graphene manufacturing capacity.
The Phase 1 expansion project is expected to provide ample graphene supply for the production of the Company's graphene aluminium-ion battery ("G+AI Battery") coin cells, as well as the Company's energy saving liquid graphene products. The total investment of approximately AU$1.5 million is expected to be fully commissioned by first half of 2023. This project was envisaged in the September 2021 market raise but now also includes costs to relocate all of GMG's existing graphene manufacturing capacity adjacent to its new headquarters and Battery Development Centre ("BDC") in Brisbane, Australia.
GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "Taking FID on this project is not only a reflection on the level of confidence we have in manufacturing high quality graphene for our applications at scale, it's also a reflection of our confidence to commercialise energy savings and energy storage applications in the near term. It is very pleasing to see that we are now scaling up our graphene manufacturing capacity using the propriety process that we developed ourselves since 2017."
A potential subsequent FID for further expanded graphene production which is expected to be located in the new warehouse space, will be considered upon the maturing of targeted commercialisation opportunities for either the Company's G+AI Battery and energy saving liquid graphene products. The newly leased site is expected to have enough space to enable multiple such increases of production.
By increasing the use of solar power, co-generation and energy storage systems, electricity supply will be largely self-sufficient and achieve a lower carbon emissions footprint for the production facility.
GMG is a clean-technology company which seeks to offer energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene, including that manufactured in-house via a proprietary production process.
GMG has developed a proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications. The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications.
In the energy savings segment, GMG has focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving paint), lubricants and fluids. In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries").

Countries and companies worldwide are charging headfirst towards carbon neutrality, but supply issues with common battery metals are already becoming a significant hindrance. Enter graphene — a ‘carbon wonder product’ that may be the solution to storing the clean energy of the future. Graphene has several attributes that earned it its super-material status: a high melting point, hydrophobic, rapid heat diffusivity, lubrication, and high tensile strength.
Advancements in nanoscience have helped further explore the applications and extraction of the super-material. However, much of the world’s graphene is mined using a traditional approach that calls for targeting ore with natural deposits, crushing the ore, refining the ore, and processing it to obtain graphene. This process is quite costly and leads to a higher graphene price tag. Fortunately, this creates an opportunity for companies that explore new methods of obtaining and processing the super-material.
Graphene Manufacturing Group (TSXV:GMG) is an Australia-based company pioneering a new, sustainable solution for graphene extraction that has led to the development of several disruptive products. The company’s flagship product is a next-generation aluminum-ion battery that completely sidesteps the need for traditional battery metals, such as lithium and copper. Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has also developed additional applications for graphene, including HVAC coating and automotive fluids.
The company focuses on developing intellectual property and establishing strategic partnerships to supply the necessary raw materials. Additionally, the company forged a collaborative agreement with Bosch to build a pilot plant for battery production. Another partnership opens up research opportunities, as GMG recently became a member of the Thermal and Fluid Sciences Affiliates Program at Stanford University, which serves as a two-way conduit that facilitates research and engineering.
GMG’s extraction process calls for a single step that uses natural gas and electric plasma to break down the base material into hydrogen and graphene powder. The extraction process and resulting graphene powder, known as Graphene G™ Powder, are proprietary. The proprietary process has given GMG a cost-effective alternative to accessing pure graphene powder that eliminates the risk of contaminants that would otherwise lower its grade.
Graphene G™ Powder has allowed the company to develop intellectual property targeting clean energy, HVAC and automotive markets. The company’s aluminum-ion battery is made without cobalt, copper, or lithium. The battery also charges up to 70 times faster and offers up to three times more battery life than lithium-ion batteries. Thermal-XR® is a cost-saving HVAC coating that offers improved conductivity of corroded heat exchange surfaces. Lastly, G™ Lubricant is a concentrated graphene and lubricating oil product, designed for automotive use that provides energy savings and emissions savings and prevents wear.
Graphene Manufacturing is led by an experienced team of managers and scientists. Craig Nicol, CEO, has over 20 years of experience delivering large-scale innovations throughout Australia and Asia and managing sales teams for Shell International. Chris Ohrich, CFO, brings 20 years of commercial, finance, and corporate transaction experience to the company.

GMG is pioneering new battery technologies to store the clean energy of the future. A partnership with the University of Queensland Research and UniQuest has assisted GMG in creating an aluminum-ion battery. The world-exclusive battery technology has been laboratory tested and currently illustrates distinct advantages over lithium-ion batteries, such as improved charge time and energy storage.
Thermal-XR is an HVAC-R coating system that provides improved conductivity of corroded heat exchange surfaces. The product coats and protects damaged surfaces while also rebuilding lost thermal conductivity.
GMG’s revolutionary lubricant uses roughly one percent lubricating oil and can be added to existing formulated lubricants. It can also be tailored by GMG to satisfy specific client needs. In addition, the product protects surfaces by reducing the friction coefficient and providing a protective layer between metal surfaces.

Much of the interest from prospective customers lies in our ability to productize the pouch cell, which can be found in a large range of end products ranging from personal and industrial appliances to grid batteries and EVs."
"Having our own fully equipped and staffed Battery Development Centre will further enhance our ability to co-innovate with partners that continue to express strong interest in the initial performance results and future potential of G+AI Batteries" Nicol said.
As previously announced, subject to successful commercial prototypes and a final investment decision, GMG aims to construct an initial commercial coin cell G+AI Battery manufacturing facility, followed by first production and sales of G+AI Batteries with the development of G+AI Batteries in pouch cell format occurring in parallel in the Battery Development Centre. The location of this initial commercial manufacturing facility is not yet decided but will likely be in Australia where GMG's headquarters and existing operations are located.
GMG is a clean-technology company which seeks to offer energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene, including that manufactured in-house via a proprietary production process.
GMG has developed a proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications. The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications.
In the energy savings segment, GMG has focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving paint), lubricants and fluids. In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries").

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update to the composition of the Company's leadership team and Technical Advisory Committee which will support the Company as it proceeds into its next phase of development.
Additionally, the Company announces that after nearly six years with GMG, Chris Ohlrich, CFO and Director has decided to leave the Company for personal reasons, since relocating to Melbourne with his family. The current Financial Controller for the Company, Deborah Appleton, will act as the interim CFO until the Company completes a comprehensive executive search for his replacement which is being carried out by executive search firm Russell Reynolds Associates.
As the Company enters its next phase of development, GMG believes there are significant business opportunities related to GMG's targeted 'energy saving' and 'energy storage' solutions, which continue to provide strong encouragement for the Company to invest resources to drive sales from its energy saving business and support the continued maturation of its graphene-Aluminium Ion battery technology.
With this focus in mind, the Company is pleased to announce the establishment of a knowledgeable, internationally experienced, Technical Advisory Committee which will include the following members who will add deep insight, experience and connections to GMG:
Underpinning the Company's efforts to further strengthen its management team, GMG is excited to announce several recent new management team appointments, including:
Chris Ohlrich has been instrumental in the establishment of GMG. Under Chris' financial leadership GMG recently reported approximately AU$14 million in cash on its balance sheet, strong and effective shareholder relationships, a robust network within North American capital markets, and an effective finance and reporting team that has successfully lodged inaugural public Annual Financial Statements and ongoing quarterly disclosures. The Company understands and supports Chris' desire to be based with his family in Melbourne and thus resignation as CFO and Director as at 3rd June, 2022. The Board and Company thank him and wish him and his family every success in the future.

Alkaline Fuel Cell Power Corp. (NEO: PWWR) (OTCQB:ALKFF) (Frankfurt: 77R, WKN: A3CTYF) ("AFCP" or the "Company") a diversified investment platform developing affordable, renewable, and reliable energy assets and cleantech, is pleased to announce that PWWR Flow, the combined heat and power ("CHP") brand of the Company, is advancing a CHP project of approximately $2.2 million in capital for a condominium in mid-town Toronto, Canada (the " CHP Project "). The CHP Project is expected to generate more than $16 million in total revenue for PWWR Flow over a 25-year Energy Service Agreement ( "ESA ") timeframe.
"Our PWWR Flow brand is positioned to deliver more immediate revenue and contribute to earnings for AFCP as a complement to our longer-term, hydrogen-powered alkaline fuel cells ", commented Frank Carnevale, CEO. "We are actively moving through our $50 million sales pipeline of CHP projects, and we have already begun discussions to grow beyond it."

PWWR Flow Mid-town Toronto CHP Project
As outlined within the PWWR Flow acquisition closing press release dated April 22, 2022, the Company has officially notified the applicable Condo Corporation (" Condo Corp ") that PWWR Flow is moving ahead with development of the estimated $2.2 million CHP Project, targeting a July 2023 Commercial Operation Date. The ESA was signed with the Condo Corp on April 21, 2021. The CHP Project would produce electricity and heat on a 24/7 basis for the baseload of the condominium. The electricity produced will be sold to the Condo Corp at up to 20 percent discount to the market price that the Condo Corp would otherwise pay to their local electricity distribution company, which brings them significant savings. The heat produced will be sold at the price equivalent to the condominium's current heating cost. It is a high-efficiency CHP system with estimated annual efficiency of approximately 75 percent.
AFCP is immediately commencing the connection impact assessment study, required to connect in Toronto Hydro service territory, as well as the final engineering design. The Company expects to order the CHP engine in Q4 of 2022, and the Company does not anticipate any supply chain issues with delivery.

In the interim, AFCP will continue to allocate its current cash toward further projects development.
As detailed within our June 20, 2002 press release, the Company has provided an outlook for the balance of 2022, a key component of which includes continuing to progress growth of the PWWR Flow Streams business.

PWWR Flow Mid-town Toronto CHP Project
As outlined within the PWWR Flow acquisition closing press release dated April 22, 2022, the Company has officially notified the applicable Condo Corporation (" Condo Corp ") that PWWR Flow is moving ahead with development of the estimated $2.2 million CHP Project, targeting a July 2023 Commercial Operation Date. The ESA was signed with the Condo Corp on April 21, 2021. The CHP Project would produce electricity and heat on a 24/7 basis for the baseload of the condominium. The electricity produced will be sold to the Condo Corp at up to 20 percent discount to the market price that the Condo Corp would otherwise pay to their local electricity distribution company, which brings them significant savings. The heat produced will be sold at the price equivalent to the condominium's current heating cost. It is a high-efficiency CHP system with estimated annual efficiency of approximately 75 percent.
AFCP is immediately commencing the connection impact assessment study, required to connect in Toronto Hydro service territory, as well as the final engineering design. The Company expects to order the CHP engine in Q4 of 2022, and the Company does not anticipate any supply chain issues with delivery.
As reported in the Company's Q2 Financials on August 12, 2022, AFCP had approximately $3.1 million in cash at quarter end. To supplement this cash balance, the Company anticipates securing project debt on CHP systems, AI 2191 Yonge Ltd., and this latest project, by Q4 2022. In the interim, AFCP will continue to allocate its current cash toward further projects development.
As detailed within our June 20, 2002 press release, the Company has provided an outlook for the balance of 2022, a key component of which includes continuing to progress growth of the PWWR Flow Streams business. AFCP intends to expand the Company's asset installation base by leveraging the ongoing revenue and earnings generated through PWWR Flow as we continue to develop the $50 million worth of PWWR Flow projects in our pipeline over the next few years.
