LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — EVgo, the nation’s largest and 100% renewable public fast charging network for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced they have tripled the number of EV public fast chargers across Virginia’s statewide network. The company has completed Cycle One of the fast charger deployment plan for the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.

Last year, EVgo opened its first high-powered public fast charging station under Drive Electric Virginia, the Commonwealth’s Appendix D Volkswagen settlement program. Since September 2019, EVgo has deployed five new chargers each month in Virginia, totaling 24 fast charging site locations and 76 chargers, built under contract with the Department of Environmental Quality. EVgo’s fast charging network now covers the state’s key regions, with stations in Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, Newport News, Norfolk, Richmond and Roanoke.

«The combined efforts of EVgo and VA DEQ are advancing access to fast and convenient EV charging infrastructure,» said Cathy Zoi, CEO of EVgo. «With stations deployed at convenient locations like Federal Realty Investment Trust properties, Sheetz, Wawa, and numerous shopping malls, we look forward to working with existing site hosts and adding new retail partners to our network to meet the growing demand for fast EV charging.»

This growth in public fast chargers builds on the success of EVgo’s existing portfolio of more than 800 station locations across the United States, the most of any U.S. public fast charging network.

The Drive Electric Virginia network will continue to grow over the next 18 months. Forthcoming stations will continue to be located in highly visible, convenient areas including shopping and entertainment centers, as well as convenience stores. EVgo stations feature fast chargers capable of delivering 50-150kW charge rates to meet the variety of new EV models and battery technology coming in the market.

In April 2020, Virginia became the first Southern state to set the goal of being carbon free by 2045 under the Virginia Clean Economy Act. EVgo’s continued commitment to creating a zero-emissions future, will help Virginia embrace and achieve these emission targets.

The Drive Electric Virginia network prioritizes the installation of DC fast chargers along heavily traveled roads and in areas with high current and projected demand for EV charging. The network is designed to complement existing charging stations and other planned charging infrastructure deployments.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The most important growth driver for the global electric vehicle (EV) battery swapping market for two- and three-wheeler is the expansion of the EV industry. The latter is itself a result of the strong government support in many countries for the adoption of clean-energy transportation. Countries such as China, India, and Japan are notorious for their air pollution, which has prompted the government here to offer a variety of benefits to the manufacturers and buyers of EVs, according to the market research report published by P&S Intelligence.

P_and_S_Intelligence_Logo

However, a major restraint in the adoption of EVs is their high costs, which are a result of their expensive batteries. This is ultimately boosting the EV battery swapping market for two- and three-wheeler, as by buying the battery separately, the costs of EVs reduce significantly. Moreover, the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), or charging station infrastructure, is inadequate in most countries. Additionally, charging takes time, from a couple of hours to the entire night, which not everyone on a clock can afford, which further makes battery swapping a preferred option.

Automotive has been one of the hardest-hit industries during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the sale of vehicles coming to naught in many places. This has caused a great loss to the EV battery swapping market for two- and three-wheeler, as with no EV sales, swapping businesses are witnessing ceased operations. After the pandemic ends and industry picks ups, electric three-wheeler sales are expected to be low, as most people are predicted to opt for private conveyance, which would actually benefit electric two-wheeler sales.

In the past, the subscription model bifurcation held the larger share in the EV battery swapping market for two- and three-wheeler, based on service type. The subscription swapping model allows users to take the EV battery on lease, as well as leads to low swapping expenses and, hence, long-term affordability of EVs.

The Li-ion bifurcation, on the basis of battery type, is projected to witness the higher CAGR in the battery swapping market for electric two and three-wheeler industry in the years to come. Due to their higher energy density, falling prices, and environment-friendly disposal advantages, the use of Li-ion batteries in electric two- and three-wheelers is increasing rapidly. In APAC, Europe, and North America, Li-ion batteries account for 65%, 97%, and 92% of all EV batteries in use, respectively.

Itronics Developing Manganese Recovery Technology

RENO, Nev., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Itronics Inc. (OTC: ITRO), an emerging «Cleantech Materials» growth Company that manufactures GOLD’n GRO Multi-Nutrient Fertilizers and produces Silver, today announced that it has successfully tested two proprietary processes that recover manganese. One process recovers manganese, potassium and zinc from paste produced by processing non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. The second process that recovers manganese is the Company’s revolutionary Rock Kleen…

RENO, Nev., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Itronics Inc. (OTC: ITRO), an emerging «Cleantech Materials» growth Company that manufactures GOLD’n GRO Multi-Nutrient Fertilizers and produces Silver, today announced that it has successfully tested two proprietary processes that recover manganese. One process recovers manganese, potassium and zinc from paste produced by processing non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. The second process that recovers manganese is the Company’s revolutionary Rock Kleen Technology.

Manganese has been designated by the Federal Government as a «Critical Mineral.» Manganese is one of the four most important industrial metals and is widely used by the steel industry worldwide. It is a major component of non-rechargeable alkaline batteries, one of the largest battery categories sold in the world. The use of manganese in EV batteries is increasing as EV battery technology is shifting to use of more nickel and manganese in battery formulations. According to a recent United Nations report, manganese is one of the four most important battery materials.

According to the U.S. Department of Interior, there is no mine production of manganese in the United States. Itronics is using its revolutionary Rock Kleen Technology to test metal recoverability from mine tailings obtained from a former silver mine in western Nevada that has a high manganese content. The Rock Kleen process is recovering silver, manganese, zinc, copper, lead and nickel. The Company has calculated, based on laboratory test results, that if a Rock Kleen tailings process is put into commercial production, the former mine site would become the only primary manganese producer in the United States.

Itronics has also tested non-rechargeable alkaline battery paste recovered by a large domestic battery recycling company to determine if it could use one of its hydrometallurgical processes to solubilize the manganese, potassium, and zinc contained in the paste. This testing was successful, and Itronics was able to produce material useable in two of its GOLD’n GRO fertilizers.

«We believe that the chemistry of the two recovery processes would lend itself to electrochemical recovery of the manganese, zinc, and other metals. At this time electrochemical recovery has been tested for zinc and copper. Itronics has been reviewing procedures for electrochemical recovery of manganese and plans to move this technology forward when it is appropriate to do so and has acquired electro-winning equipment needed to do that,» said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President.

«Because of the two described proprietary technologies, Itronics is positioned to become a domestic manganese producer on a large scale to satisfy domestic demand. The actual manganese products have not yet been defined, except for use in the Company’s GOLD’n GRO Multi-Nutrient Fertilizers. However, the Company believes that it will be able to produce chemical manganese products as well as electrochemical products,» Dr. Whitney said.

Itronics R & D and manufacturing plant are located in Reno, Nevada about 40 miles west of the Tesla Giga-factory. The planned Itronics Cleantech Materials Campus, which is located about 40 miles south of the Tesla Giga-factory, would be the location were the manganese products would be produced. Panasonic is operating one of the world’s largest EV battery factories at the Tesla location. Tesla and other companies have announced that EV battery technology is shifting to use of nickel-manganese batteries. Itronics is positioned and located to become a Nevada based supplier of manganese products for battery manufacturing as its manganese recovery technologies are advanced.

A long-term objective for Itronics is to become a leading producer of high purity metals, including the U.S. critical metals manganese and tin, using the Company’s breakthrough hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and electrochemical technologies. Additionally, Itronics is strategically positioned with its portfolio of «Zero Waste Energy Saving Technologies» to help solve the recently declared emergency need for domestic production of Critical Minerals from materials located at mine sites.

Itronics Inc. is an emerging Clean Tech Materials Growth Company that produces GOLD’n GRO Multi-Nutrient Fertilizers and Silver. The Company is also an emerging «Critical Minerals» producer. The Company’s growth forecast centers upon its 10-year business plan designed to integrate its Zero Waste Energy Saving Technologies and to grow annual sales from $2 million in 2019, to $113 million in 2025.

About Itronics

Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, Itronics Inc. is a «Creative Clean Technology» Company which produces GOLD’n GRO Multi-Nutrient liquid fertilizers, silver bullion, and silver-bearing glass. The Company’s goal is to achieve profitable clean technology driven organic growth in specialty GOLD’n GRO Multi-Nutrient fertilizers, silver, copper, tin, zinc, and minerals.

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s operating company, Malaysian Airport Holding Berhad, decided the country’s aviation hub was in need of a serious visual update, VGI Airports – part of VGI Malaysia – was the first port of call and Absen (SZSE: 300389) was selected as the LED display supplier.

Absen Selected for Largest Airport LED Display in SE Asia (PRNewsfoto/Absen)

The airport spans 100 km² and is one of the busiest airports in the world. KLIA was designed and built as part of the MSC Malaysia plan – to create a high-technology business district in Selangor, Malaysia.

The teams decided that a digital overhaul was required throughout the airport, following the flow of passengers. VGI Airports selected a combination of Absen N4, Acclaim A2719, and A2725 for the installation, split into three different areas. In the arrivals area, Absen’s N4 created the ‘Digital Dream’ screen, an impressive 400sqm LED wall that boasts a jaw dropping 23,976W x 1,008H resolution.

Absen’s A2719 was selected for the Satellite Digital Impact Network screen to cover both arrival and departures. The same product was also used at the check-in area, while the Digital Arrivals Impact Network screen features a curved 7.3m x 2m A2725 LED wall strategically installed above the escalators for arrivals.

Absen’s N series and Acclaim series are designed for indoor display and are perfect for use in busy corporate, transport or retail spaces. At a slim two-inch panel depth, with a 1000 nit brightness and 8.8kg weight, the N4 boasts a vivid, lightweight display for all indoor requirements. With wide viewing angles and remote tracking, in which real time performance tracking can be sent and viewed from a mobile, the N4 leant itself flawlessly to the airport’s requirements, while still presenting the sharp colour and brightness uniformity associated with Absen’s range of products.

The installation itself began in Mar-2019 and was completed by Feb-2020, just in time to miss the massive disruption caused by Covid-19. Although footfall has fluctuated in the intervening months, the airport’s administrators and travellers have had plenty of time to marvel at its new look. 

«Passengers appreciate arriving or departing an airport that is fully outfitted with digital displays,» said Nacho Perez, chief digital officer at VGI Malaysia. «Moreover, MAHB appreciates the new installations as they help to revamp the overall perception of KLIA into one of the best in class in South East Asia

Blended using whisky from five of the most renowned distilleries in Japan, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the US, ‘Ao’, meaning blue, is named after the oceans that connect the distilleries together. With notes of vanilla, tropical fruit and cinnamon, it is the distinctive climate, fermentation and distillation processes in each whisky-making region that give the whisky its unique taste. 

Fifth generation Suntory chief blender, Shinji Fukuyo, selected each liquid based-on Suntory’s globally-recognised Monozukuri craftsmanship – a relentless pursuit of perfection, attention to detail and quality. Building on Suntory’s history of craftsmanship, this innovative, premium blended whisky embodies the spirit of Suntory and is a tribute to the liquid’s long history.

Shinji Fukuyo said: «Ao is an exceptional whisky which, through the art of Suntory blending, allows you to enjoy the unique characteristics of all five major whisky-making regions.»

Ed Stening, Global Head of Travel Retail Marketing at Beam Suntory International, said: «This is a truly innovative whisky that blends five very different distilleries’ greatest assets and unique crafts. We couldn’t be more excited to share this exciting innovation with global travel retail.»

Suntory World Whisky ‘Ao’ is a unique addition to Suntory’s growing portfolio.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Lear Corporation (NYSE: LEA), a global automotive technology leader in Seating and E-Systems, today expanded its sustainability efforts by announcing several new environmental goals, including achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

Lear further plans by 2030 to use 100% renewable energy at the company’s manufacturing facilities and reduce carbon emissions by 50%. The timeframes align with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to limit global warming, based on 2019 data.

«Setting the goal for Lear to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 is a significant next step that builds on actions already underway at our company,» said Ray Scott, President and CEO. «We believe designing and manufacturing products with world-class innovation and quality for our customers is compatible with protecting the environment. These efforts go hand in hand.»

To attain net zero emissions by 2050, Lear will increase renewable energy use, improve energy efficiency at facilities, expand engineering efforts for vehicle electrification and lighter weight products, and heighten sustainability requirements for its suppliers. Lear is committing to these actions with an understanding of the potential challenges that are ahead, including the availability of renewable energy, changing directives from local governments, unpredictable financial markets and long-term support from consumers for zero- or low-emission solutions.

«To achieve these goals, we will partner with our customers, suppliers and policymakers to focus on further advancing technologies that reduce carbon emissions,» Scott said. «We will also encourage our employees to contribute to creating a cleaner environment, not only while they are at work, but while they are at home, too.»

The goals to reduce Lear’s carbon footprint are just one aspect of the company’s overall environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts, as will be highlighted in its upcoming corporate sustainability report. Other highlights include new zero deforestation and human rights policies.
