REHOVOT, Israel, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Aleph Farms, Ltd., and Mitsubishi Corporation’s Food Industry Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to bring cultivated meat to the Japanese table. Aleph Farms will provide its proven, scalable manufacturing platform (BioFarm™) for cultivation of whole-muscle steaks. Mitsubishi Corporation will provide its expertise in biotechnology processes, branded food manufacturing, and local distribution channels in Japan.

«The MoU with Mitsubishi Corporation’s Food Industry Group marks an important milestone for us, as we methodically build the foundations of our global go-to-market activities with selected partners,» notes Didier Toubia, Co-Founder and CEO of Aleph Farms.

Mitsubishi Corporation is a global integrated business enterprise that develops and operates a global network of 1,700 group companies in 90 countries. With yearly revenue of US$140B, Mitsubishi Corporation is comprised of 10 Business Groups covering virtually every industry. The Food Industry Group covers food resources, fresh foods, consumer products, and food ingredients, and is active in every link of the food supply chain, from the production and sourcing of raw materials to the manufacturing of finished food products.

«The cooperation demonstrates Aleph Farms’ strategy of working together with the food and meat industries to ensure a successful integration of cultivated meat within the ecosystem, while maximizing the positive impact we make,» adds Toubia. «We are excited to bring cultivated meat production closer to the Japanese market.»

This cooperation takes a lead role in the fight against climate change, especially now that the Japanese government stipulated a goal of achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions. In April 2020, Aleph Farms committed to eliminating emissions associated with its meat production by 2025 and reach the same net-zero emissions across its entire supply chain by 2030. As the demand for meat continues to rise with evolving lifestyles, the cooperation will also provide actionable solutions to overcome the societal challenges to the local population surrounding the domestic meat supply. This includes implementing stable food channels of quality nutrition.

«This is part of a network of ‘BioFarm to Fork’ strategic partnerships being developed by Aleph Farms in APAC, LATAM, and Europe, following the successful 2019 Round-A strategic investment by Cargill and the Migros Group in Switzerland,» reports Gary Brenner, VP of Market Development at Aleph Farms.

Aleph Farms and Mitsubishi Corporation are members of the «Cellular Agriculture Study Group», a consortium implementing policy proposals under the Japanese Center for Rule-Making Strategy. The consortium brings together a range of experts on the definition and construction of cellular agricultural foods. It also adds clarification of conditions for Japanese products and technologies to have international competitiveness and establishes mechanisms for coexistence and division of roles with existing industries.

About Aleph Farms:

Aleph Farms is a food company that is paving a new way forward as a leader of the global sustainable food ecosystem, working passionately to grow delicious beef steaks from non-genetically engineered cells, isolated from a cow, using a fraction of the resources required for raising an entire animal for meat, and without antibiotics. Aleph Farms was co-founded with The Kitchen Hub of the Strauss Group and with Professor Shulamit Levenberg, Dean of the Biomedical Engineering faculty of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Aleph Farms is backed by some of the world’s most innovative food producers, such as Cargill, Migros, and the Strauss Group.

The company has recently received top accolades for its contribution to the global sustainability movement from the World Economic Forum, UNESCO, Netexplo Forum and EIT Food.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Ideanomics (NASDAQ: IDEX) («Ideanomics» or the «Company») is pleased to announce it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of privately held Wireless Advanced Vehicle Electrification, Inc. («WAVE») for cash and stock consideration, the material terms of which are disclosed in the Company’s related 8-K filing. Roth Capital Partners acted as an advisor to WAVE on the transaction. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions.

Founded in 2011, and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, WAVE is a leading provider of inductive (wireless) charging solutions for medium and heavy-duty electric vehicles (EVs). Embedded in roadways and charging vehicles during scheduled stops, the fully automated, hands-free WAVE system eliminates battery range limitations and enables fleets to achieve driving ranges that match that of internal combustion engines.

Deployed since 2012, WAVE has demonstrated the capability to develop and integrate high-power charging systems into heavy-duty electric vehicles from leading commercial EV manufacturers. With commercially available wireless charging systems up to 250kW and higher power systems in development, WAVE provides custom fleet solutions for mass transit, logistics, airport and campus shuttles, drayage fleets, and off-road vehicles at ports and industrial sites.

Wireless charging systems offer several compelling benefits over plug-in-based charging systems, including reduced maintenance, improved health and safety, and expedited energy connection. Furthermore, wireless in-route charging enables greater route lengths or smaller batteries while also maintaining battery life.

WAVE customers include the largest EV bus system in the U.S., the Antelope Valley Transit Authority, and its partnerships include Kenworth, Gillig, BYD, Complete Coach Works, and more.

«The acquisition of WAVE is a significant one for our EV efforts across the board. We are excited to bring Michael Masquelier and his team into the Ideanomics family, where we can inject significant growth capital to enable WAVE to further accelerate its business and bring wireless charging to our product offerings. WAVE has become a market leader in inductive charging systems, which are much better suited for commercial EVs than plug-in charging systems,» said Alf Poor, Ideanomics CEO. «WAVE complements our Medici Motor Works and Treeletrik businesses, and our investment in Solectrac, and is aligned with our MEG division’s Sales to Financing to Charging (S2F2C) model. This is a win-win all around, which will help maximize shareholder value. We’re thrilled to have signed the definitive agreement for this acquisition so we can get to work immediately on the opportunities this brings to both Ideanomics and WAVE.»

«Fast, safe, in-route charging is key to enabling commercial EVs to match the range of internal combustion vehicles,» said Michael Masquelier, WAVE’s Founder and CEO. «Joining the Ideanomics family will allow WAVE solutions to rapidly develop at the scale needed to help fleet operators around the world meet their zero-emission goals.»

WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Chemours Company (Chemours) (NYSE: CC), a global chemistry company with leading market positions in Titanium Technologies, Fluoroproducts and Chemical Solutions, applauds the 116th Congress in its recent passing of the bipartisan American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (AIM Act), which was signed into law by President Donald Trump as part of the year-end Omnibus package on December 27^th.  Once enacted, the AIM Act is expected to deliver $38 billion in economic benefit to the US by 2027, create new jobs, and provide an orderly nation-wide phase down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in use today across multiple industries. 

In support of the phase down, Chemours has developed and commercialized a portfolio of low global warming potential (GWP) solutions leveraging hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) technology.  These Opteon™ branded products, in addition to existing low GWP HFCs, will enable our customers and value chain partners in refrigeration, air conditioning, foam blowing agents, and other segments to transition to more sustainable solutions in their respective applications.

«Chemours has been consistent in our support of orderly HFC phase down actions globally.  We are pleased that Congress, with bi-partisan support in both the Senate and the House, believed the provisions of the AIM Act can deliver environmental and economic benefits as the United States continues to take important steps to address climate change. We look forward to working with the Biden Administration in 2021 to bring the AIM Act to life and to working with policy makers on both sides of the aisle to continue to advance and apply American innovation, manufacturing and leadership to help create a cleaner world,» said Mark Vergnano, President & CEO. 

The Opteon™ portfolio has been developed to meet global regulations while maintaining or improving performance compared to the products they replace and reducing the carbon footprint of the specific application.  By the year 2025, Chemours estimates that its low GWP products will eliminate an estimated 325 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents on a global basis.  This reduction would be equivalent to 69 million passenger cars being driven in one year, or the annual energy use for 37 million homes.

«The initial stages of transition away from high GWP HFCs to our low GWP solutions are already underway in some parts of the world and in pockets of the US due to state-led activity.  Now with a consistent federal framework, our customers will be able to plan transitions with confidence, and our commercial and operations teams are ready to support this ramp-up of activity,» said Alisha Bellezza, Vice President of Chemours Fluorochemicals.

Chemours has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development, manufacturing assets, and downstream product and application development with low GWP, HFO technology, and remains committed to the ongoing development needs of customers through the HFC phase down in the US and globally.
