GMG Unveils G(R) Lubricant Engine Performance Testing Results: A Transformative Graphene Energy Saving Solution for the Multi Trillion Dollar Global Liquid Fuel Industry

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 24, 2025) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the multi-year performance testing of G® Lubricant, a transformative graphene liquid concentrate additive designed to enhance the performance of diesel and gasoline (petrol) engines. This product has the potential to reshape the future of the global liquid fuels industry and offers an innovative solution that optimizes efficiency and power for stationary or mobile engines.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg1.jpgGMG is in the process of preparing packaging and marketing materials for G® Lubricant, and expects to begin a direct marketing campaign, targeting fleet owners and initially commencing in Australia and then expanding into other markets from April 2025 onwards.Click here to order a G® Lubricant sample for your own engine testing.Unleashing the Power of GrapheneG® Lubricant, a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine, has been shown to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in a diesel engine. The amount of graphene in the final lubricant once G® Lubricant is mixed in is only ~ 1:10,000, with the balance of the concentrate consisting of lubricating base oil. As a result, G® Lubricant can be used safely in any internal combustion engine. Over the past four years, GMG has conducted environmentally controlled testing of G® Lubricant in internal combustion engines monitored and verified by The University of Queensland. GMG's test results have been corroborated by similar savings realized by customers over a number of years of field testing.Figure 1 below shows the high level fuel efficiency improvement provided by the G® Lubricant additive, while Figure 8 provides the detailed fuel testing parameters.Figure 1: Diesel Engine Fuel Efficiency Improvement provided by G LubricantTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg2en.jpgThe data shows a clear increase in fuel efficiency performance from G® Lubricant when the load is increased on the engine. High loads for truck diesel engines are usually seen when the truck starts to move, and then at high speeds when encountering wind resistance. Usually stationary diesel engines for power generation operate at high load.Figure 2 shows the potential savings for the main types of diesel engine commercial vehicles in use in Australia - with average vehicle data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics[1] (ABS).Figure 2: Potential Cost Savings per Vehicle Type provided by G LubricantTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg3en.jpgExceptional Performance Confirmed by University of QueenslandGMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "G® Lubricant has taken over 4 years of advanced product testing and is transformational for energy efficiency and emissions reduction for the liquid fuels industry - it is the culmination of decades of lubricants, engines, energy markets and graphene knowledge which is inherent in the GMG business. The next challenge to commercialise this product awaits - which we are eagerly preparing for."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "G® Lubricant's performance, which demonstrates an 8.4% improvement in fuel efficiency using only a very small amount of graphene in an easy to use graphene concentrate, is a 'Category Creator' that has the potential to redefine the multi trillion dollar liquid fuels market. The fact that only 1% of G® Lubricant is needed to achieve such savings provides a very attractive value proposition for fleet owners."Click here to order a G® Lubricant sample for your own engine testing.US$ 1.4 Trillion Global Diesel IndustryWhilst G® Lubricant can be used to reduce fuel consumption in both diesel and gasoline/petrol engines GMG intends to focus on the diesel market initially, which is largely B2B focused, and therefore, more targeted as far as fuel cost savings and performance. GMG calculates that global diesel fuel sales totalled US$1.4 Trillion per annum[2] including taxes and duties on approximately 28 million barrels of diesel per day as detailed by the EIA2. Figure 3 shows the top 34 countries in the world with diesel fuel sales greater than US$10 Billion per annum.Figure 3: Total Diesel Fuel Sales US$ BillionTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg4en.jpgEstimated US$ 1.2 Billion Per Annum Global Diesel Market For G® Lubricant Assuming an average fuel savings of 8.4%, GMG believes that a conservative estimate of the potential market for G® Lubricant is 10% of the fuel savings realized by users annually. Assuming G® Lubricant pricing equal to 10% of the savings realized, GMG estimates that the potential global revenue for G® Lubricant is US$ 1.2 Billion sales per annum. Figure 4 shows GMG's estimates of potential annual sales of G® Lubricant by country.Figure 4: Total G® Lubricant Sales OpportunityTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg5en.jpgDetailed Equipment and Process for Testing G® LubricantThe following describes the equipment used and the process followed by the Company in demonstrating the fuel saving demonstration of the G® Lubricant in the diesel engine generator:A 30kVA (24 kW) Cummins diesel engine generator (with 14,784 hours of run time) as seen in Figure 5 and described in Figure 6 was purchased and setup in the GMG Richlands warehouse.The generator was connected to a 40 kW power load bank which consumed the energy produced by the generator and created the load and a 500 litre self-contained fuel tank.Two calibrated flow sensors were connected (inflow and return/outflow) to the fuel lines and to a data logger which recorded the fuel consumption.An Energy Analyzer was used to log and track energy produced by the generator.Tests were conducted on loads of 40%, 60% and 80% loads of the 40 kW power load bank - 12, 18, 24 kw respectively.A baseline to record diesel fuel consumption under normal engine oil and operating conditions was completed with newly changed recommended premium diesel engine oil and a new oil filter. This oil change was carried out by a professional engine maintenance service company.The engine was run at the different loads (40%, 60% and 80%) and the baseline and G® Lubricant data set used for the analytics is when the maximum ambient temperature for the day was less than 33 degrees Celsius and relative humidity was between 50% and 80% with no rain. Fuel consumption for diesel engines changes when operating in rain or very high humidity or temperatures, so the fuel consumption data baseline and G® Lubricant engine oil additive performance testing were excluded for these times.Only steady state data was used and so any variance or anomalous data seen in either baseline or G® Lubricant datasets were removed from the analytics. Data sets were grouped into minute blocks.Once the baseline fuel tests were completed, the engine oil was drained and the oil filters were replaced. G-Lubricant with approximately 1:100 concentration was mixed at approximately 1% ratio by weight with a new batch of the same premium recommended engine oil and added to the generator engine. The end ratio of GMG's Graphene to the diesel engine oil was approximately 1:10,000 by weight. The oil change was carried out by the same professional engine maintenance service company.G® Lubricant PackagingG® Lubricant is currently sold by GMG in different small pack sizes, a 500 ml pack is shown in Figure 5 which can be diluted into 50 litres of engine oil to provide improved engine performance. GMG intends to direct market the product to its targeted markets through various pack sizes for direct and bulk use.Figure 5: G® Lubricant 500 ml pack (which can be used to dose 50 litres of engine oil)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg7en.jpgClick here to order a G® Lubricant sample for your own engine testing.Figure 6: Diesel Engine Generator EquipmentTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_7719c67484409aad_011full.jpgFigure 7: Diesel Engine Generator Equipment Parameters.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg8en.jpgThe detailed data for this fuel test is shown below in Figure 8LoadEngine Oil UsedNo of Data PointsFuel Used (litre per hour)Power Output (kWh)Fuel Efficiency (kWh per litre)% Fuel Efficiency Increase from G® Lubricant40% LoadPremium Diesel Engine Oil (PDEO)107370Mean: 211.95Average:3.03  StandardDeviation:  0.60StandardDeviation:0.01Min: 210.31Min:  3.00Max:  214.49Max:  3.06 PDEO + G® Lubricant136766.7Average:  211.84Average:  3.184.9%StandardDeviation: 0.68StandardDeviation: 0.24Min: 209.89Min: 2.64Max:  213.45Max:  3.5660% LoadPremium Diesel Engine Oil (PDEO)41890Average:  297.13Average:  3.30 StandardDeviation: 0.65StandardDeviation: 0.01Min: 295.06Min:3.28 Max:  298.42Max:  3.32 PDEO + G® Lubricant148684.9Average:  301.31Average:  3.557.5%StandardDeviation: 7.62StandardDeviation: 0.20Min: 294.13Min: 3.27Max:  313.85Max:  4.2280% LoadPremium Diesel Engine Oil (PDEO)811120Average:  404.52Average:  3.37 StandardDeviation: 0.79StandardDeviation: 0.01Min: 402.62Min: 3.36Max:  406.20Max:  3.38 PDEO + G® Lubricant1756110.6Average:  404.21Average:  3.658.4%StandardDeviation: 1.26StandardDeviation: 0.13Min: 401.30Min: 3.34Max:  407.37Max:  4.49 Figure 8: Detailed Diesel Engine Generator Performance Data.Basis for Performance ImprovementAs seen in Figure 9, G® Lubricant GMG improves fuel efficiency by creating less friction in the boundary layer lubrication of the pistons inside the cylinder block of the engine. It is widely accepted that approximately 30% of the fuel is used in an engine to overcome internal friction, and that approximately 60% of the engine friction is in the piston area. Graphene has also been seen to prevent wear and also fill in wear scars of an engine, helping to improve piston sealing.Figure 9: G® Lubricant is believed to reduce friction in the engine pistons.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg9.jpgPatent Progress of G® LubricantGMG submitted a patent application on the G® Lubricant product as soon as it was possible, and this is progressing through the usual process to be approved for the main target markets.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.

Hong Kong rated as leading sustainable business hub

HONG KONG, Feb 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong has been globally recognised as taking a lead in sustainable business development. This is the key finding from the preliminary edition of the HKTDC ESG Index, an important new metric introduced by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) with the aim of ensuring local, Mainland China and global enterprises have an in-depth understanding of the city’s strengths as an ESG (environmental, social and governance) business hub.The index is based on an analysis of how businesses perceive Hong Kong’s strengths across the three established ESG criteria: environmental, social and governance. The initial research factored in the views of more than 1,200 businesses through surveys conducted by the HKTDC at many of its most high-profile trade fairs and related business events in 2024.Explaining the rationale behind the launch of the new index and its ongoing significance for Hong Kong, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “This new metric has been devised to help domestic and global businesses gauge the efficacy of Hong Kong as a platform for sourcing ESG-related products and services, as well as identifying more ESG-responsible counterparts. We believe the index will significantly contribute to the overall understanding of the business world’s prioritisation of sustainable operational models and the real and lasting contribution Hong Kong is making to this shift at a global, regional and local level.”Overall, Hong Kong scored highly in the index across all three criteria, receiving an aggregated total of 64.3 points. This figure is well above the neutral watershed point of 50 and indicates the city’s status as an effective and highly regarded global ESG business hub.Hong Kong rates highly across all criteria as an ESG hubThis high score was reflected in the marks accorded to each criterion – Environmental (63,8), Social (65.0), and Governance (64.7). Across these categories, respondents from the three designated geographical regions all had distinct individual preferences and their own specific reasons for awarding the city such high marks.In the case of Hong Kong’s Environmental credentials, respondents from the mainland (68.6) saw Hong Kong’s strengths as lying primarily in its provision of green and sustainable investment opportunities. International enterprises (67.2), meanwhile, had a particularly high regard for the availability and diversity of green and sustainable solutions, while local businesses rated the quality and innovation of the city’s portfolio of green and sustainable products and services most highly.Regarding the Social Sub-Index, it was Hong Kong’s ESG-related expertise and talents that most impressed mainland survey respondents, followed by the city’s success in promoting cross-border ESG knowledge exchange. International and Hong Kong-based respondents highly rated the engagement of local businesses in community development and social welfare programmes, as well as the ability to find socially responsible business partners.For the Governance Sub-Index, Hong Kong’s proficiency in facilitating effective ESG-oriented international collaborations, particularly with regard to international standard-setting and the provision of market access, was highly valued by all participants regardless of location. Mainland respondents also singled out the effectiveness of Hong Kong’s ESG reporting frameworks and regulations.Commercial advantages of ESG engagementIn addition to its core focus on the views of buyers and vendors regarding the efficacy of Hong Kong as an ESG hub, the research also set out to provide insights into other developmental aspects of ESG-related business. Among the key findings here were:All buyers currently sourcing ESG-related products or services indicated they were willing to pay a higher premium for such products or services. Some 68% of them were willing to pay a premium of at least 10% to secure such items. This is largely because prioritising ESG-friendly solutions is seen as likely to enhance a company’s brand reputation and corporate image while ensuring compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements and risk-management protocols.All vendors currently providing ESG-related products or services maintained they earned additional profit margins from such products or services. Approximately 72% of them reported that the additional profit margins delivered by such activities were 10% or higher than those related to comparable non-ESG-compliant products and services. In addition, by meeting market demand for ESG-related products and services, such vendors also saw themselves as positively differentiated from their competitors and, consequently, gaining a commercial advantage.Nearly 90% of respondents see ESG considerations as an integral element of their overall business decision-making process, underscoring the general acceptance of the importance of such principles.MethodologyThe provisional findings of this initial edition of the HKTDC ESG Index were drawn from a survey of 1,200+ vendors or buyers in attendance at seven HKTDC trade fairs and business events from April to December 2024. The survey will be completed in March and the first full edition of the index will be released thereafter. Full details of the methodology used for the survey can be found in the Appendix to the Preliminary Report.Photo download: https://bit.ly/4hbnJbj(from left) HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan, Principal Economist (Global Research Team) Alice Tsang, Economist Edmund Lo and Senior Economist Nicholas Fu announced the preliminary edition of the HKTDC ESG Index at a press conference today.HKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Principal Economist (Global Research Team) Alice TsangHKTDC Senior Economist Nicholas FuHKTDC Economist Edmund LoMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane Cheung Tel: (852) 2584 4137 Email: jane.mh.cheung.hktdc.orgJohnny Tsui Tel: (852) 2584 4395 Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

香港, 2025年2月25日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 國內現製飲品市場競爭日益激烈的當下,蜜雪集團不僅在本土穩居現製飲品行業領先地位,更是積極拓展海外市場。隨著公司海外市場佈局的逐步擴張,尤其是在東南亞地區取得的顯著成績,蜜雪集團成為了港股市場中投資者關注的焦點。按照截至2024年9月30日的門店數計,蜜雪集團(2097.HK)已經登上中國及全球現製飲品行業冠軍寶座。此次IPO的發行定價202.50港元,擬募資額超39億港元(綠鞋後),並獲M&G、紅杉中國、博裕資本、高瓴、美團龍珠5名基石投資者的青睞,擬合共認購約7,692,600股發售股份。搶佔東南亞市場機遇,架起全球化進程關鍵支點受消費者愈加注重性價比、門店網絡持續拓展以及供應鏈基礎設施逐步完善等因素的驅動,蜜雪集團在東南亞現製飲品市場快速增長。以終端零售額計,東南亞現製飲品市場規模預計自2023年至2028年複合年增長率達19.8%,在全球主要市場中增長最快。相比中國,東南亞現製飲品市場高度分散且連鎖化率相對較低,更是為蜜雪集團提供了廣闊的品牌發展空間。自蜜雪集團邁出國際化步伐以來,憑藉著獨特的商業模式和產品定位,在綜合品類、強大品牌力和完整產業鏈供應鏈體系的共同加持下,逐漸在全球市場嶄露頭角。截至 2024 年 9 月 30 日,公司在中國內地以外開設了約4,800家門店,覆蓋11個國家,東南亞市場更成為其全球化征程中的堅固橋頭堡。在東南亞市場,蜜雪集團通過結合國內積累的豐富經驗和專有知識,以及一系列因地制宜的創新措施,實現了多樣化佈局。為了在東南亞各國進行產品研發和營銷推廣,蜜雪集團組建了本地化團隊,深入瞭解當地市場需求,根據東南亞消費者的口味偏好,推出了多款本地化產品,受到了當地消費者的歡迎。同時,蜜雪集團利用社交媒體和網絡平台進行品牌推廣,并充分利用「雪王」IP推出豐富的營銷活動,提升品牌知名度和影響力。除此之外,蜜雪集團還大力加強供應鏈建設,確保產品的穩定供應和質量,并在東南亞的四個國家建立了本地化的倉儲體系,以支持海外業務的發展。登高望遠,從東南亞奔向全世界自2018年在越南河內開設首家海外門店至今,蜜雪集團出海的意義,已遠不止於品牌影響力升級,更帶動了上下游產業發展。在「蜜雪冰城」迅速成為東南亞市場第一大現製茶飲品牌的同時,國內多省的核心農產品也搭上了蜜雪集團的「出海快車」,遠銷海外,形成聯動效應。作為國內現製飲品行業首批出海的企業之一,蜜雪集團在東南亞市場大獲成功,為其全球化發展築牢根基。從最初在東南亞國家佈局,到如今在多個國家留下足跡,每一步都彰顯著蜜雪集團的穩健成長。相信在未來,蜜雪集團將充分總結和借鑒過往積累的成功經驗,繼續深入研究各地的市場特點和消費者需求,積極開展本土化運營,同時加快數字化建設,為消費者提供更加個性化的消費體驗。相信通過進一步提升品牌的市場適應性和競爭力,蜜雪集團將持續在全球現製飲品市場大放異彩。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Silhouettes that incorporate flowing, fluid lines and layers suggest movement through time and space. Asymmetrical cuts and elongated forms reflect the idea of time dilation, while high-contrast, bold colours such as electric blues, chartreuse and deep purples, alongside stark black and white, create a sense of instability and immediacy.Main event:Fashion Hong Kong Professional ShowroomDate: 21 February (Friday) to 21 March 2025 (Friday)Time: 10am-6pm (reservation required)Venue: The POP Group, 63 Hanbury Street, Shoreditch, LondonWebsitesFashion Hong Kong: www.fashionhongkong.com.hkFashion Hong Kong Instagram: @hktdcfashionhkMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC's Communications and Public Affairs Department:Stanley SoTel: (852) 2584 4049Email: stanley.hp.so@hktdc.orgSnowy ChanTel: (852) 2584 4525Email: snowy.sn.chan@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.
