Supports the Development of U.S. Domestic Supply of Graphite
CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$WWR--Westwater Resources, Inc. (“Westwater”) (NASDAQ: WWR), an energy materials development company, applauds the President’s Executive Order (“Order”) signed on September 30, 2020, that addresses the threat to the U.S. domestic supply chain from reliance on critical minerals from foreign adversaries. The critical minerals referred to in the Order were previously identified by the Department of the Interior in May 2018, and include both natural graphite and vanadium.
The President’s declaration that the United States' heavy reliance on foreign nations for critical minerals is a national emergency highlights the importance of Westwater’s plans to develop the Coosa Graphite Deposit in east-central Alabama. Westwater’s business plan for the Coosa Graphite Project over the next two and a half years is to develop a U.S. domestic supply for natural graphite for use in all types of batteries in the United States. During recent exploration activities along the Roscoe Ridge at the mine site, Westwater has also discovered widespread and significant levels of vanadium mineralization.
The U.S. is 100% dependent on imports for graphite, which is the primary anode material in lithium-ion batteries that power smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles, and stores power from intermittent renewable energy sources. Graphite was specifically named as one of the critical minerals in which the U.S. is heavily dependent on China for its supply. Also, vanadium is an essential component in the manufacture of high-strength steel, is used as a catalyst in chemical manufacturing, and is also used as a component in the manufacturing of some ceramic, glass, and pigment products. The U.S. imports virtually all of its industrial vanadium requirements from mines located in South Africa, China, and Russia.
Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of Westwater, said, “The President’s Executive Order opens up new avenues for financing and permitting our Coosa Graphite Project – this is good news for Westwater Resources and the United States.”
In the Order the President says, “a strong America cannot be dependent on imports from foreign adversaries for the critical minerals that are increasingly necessary to maintain our economic and military strength in the 21st century.” The President said the heavy dependence on imports for critical minerals makes the U.S. vulnerable to adverse foreign government action, natural disaster, or other supply disruptions.
“I therefore determine that our nation's undue reliance on critical minerals, in processed or unprocessed form, from foreign adversaries constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat,” Trump penned in the Executive Order.
Further details on Trump's critical mineral Executive Order can be read at https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-addressing-threat-domestic-supply-chain-reliance-critical-minerals-foreign-adversaries.
Westwater is uniquely positioned to benefit from the action the U.S. government is taking to ensure that America and its technology manufacturers can rely on a safe and secure source of graphite to power our next generation of power and technology needs and possibly to meet needs for vanadium as well. The action by the President orders the Office of Science and Technology, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Energy, and the Secretary of the Interior to provide guidance to clarify which minerals and projects are eligible for government support, which can include loans or grants, under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Furthermore, these agencies are directed along with the Secretary of Commerce, the Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Secretary of the Army, to use all available authorities to accelerate the issuance of permits in connection with expanding and protecting the U.S. domestic supply chain for minerals such as graphite.
Westwater is evaluating the Order and how to best approach the relevant agencies in the U.S. Government to emphasize the importance of battery graphite, its importance to the nation’s security, and how the Coosa Graphite Project in Alabama fits into the enactment of critical minerals policy.
About Westwater Resources
Westwater Resources (NASDAQ: WWR) is focused on developing energy-related materials. The Company’s battery-materials projects include the Coosa Graphite Project — the most advanced natural flake graphite project in the contiguous United States — and the associated Coosa Graphite Deposit located across 41,900 acres (~17,000 hectares) in east-central Alabama.

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Since its creation in 1973, ESI Group, leading innovator in Virtual Prototyping software and services for manufacturing industries, has been committed to addressing the operational performance of industrial products during their entire lifecycle, from launch to disposal.
Leveraging the physics of materials and using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and data mining, ESI is able to predict products’ performance and anticipate their maintenance requirements, in interaction with their environment. The approach aims to eliminate the need for physical tests and prototypes and reduce downtime. " Manufacturing and testing a real prototype is long and expensive for an industrialist. In addition, they need to set up specific test facilities that most of the time cannot be reused for other physical prototypes, which constitutes an additional cost. The use of virtual prototypes allows to overcome these constraints while increasing agility, efficiency and performance.", explains Emmanuel Leroy, Executive Vice President - Industry Solutions at ESI Group.
This innovative methodology based on virtual prototyping is effective for our customers:
Furthermore, environmental regulations are pushing manufacturers to undertake change and focus on performance. ESI supports companies to face a major challenge: successfully innovating and transforming their models to meet consumers’ expectations while maintaining their levels of growth and profitability.
The race to electric vehicles is another example of the relevance of this approach. ESI helps industrial players to develop their projects while maintaining ever tighter deadlines without compromising the safety or comfort of occupants.
The 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, one of the main highlights of September 2020, was an opportunity for leaders, including Cristel de Rouvray, CEO of ESI Group, among other CEOs from more than 100 countries, to reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism and the values of the Global Compact, by signing the United Nations Global Compact Statement.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global and China Fuel Cell Industry Report, 2020" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
China is Close to Its Leading Peers in Fuel Cell System and Engine
Fuel cell engine system is comprised of fuel cell engine, voltage converter (DC/DC) and vehicle hydrogen system, of which fuel cell engine packs such core components as stack, engine controller, hydrogen supply system and air supply system.
At present, China has come near to global leaders in fuel cell system and engine. In terms of fuel cell engine technology, fuel cell vehicles have been mature enough to be commercialized, with service life of fuel cells for commercial vehicles longer than 20,000 hours, meeting basic needs of vehicles for running; China's hydrogen fuel cell engine system leads the world in several parameters, e.g., power density.
Notably, on July 21, 2020, VISH-130A, a fuel cell engine of Wuhan HydraV Fuel Cell Technologies Co., Ltd. (under Vision Group), passed the certification of China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd. (CATARC) and China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), with stack power up to 145kW and engine system net output of 130kW. VISH-130A boasts the maximum power among hydrogen fuel cell engines having been certified by the CNAS so far.
China Remains Weak in Core Components and Materials of Fuel Cell with Heavy Dependence on the Imported
Although with the world's advanced fuel cell engine technology, China still has weak foundation in supply chain of fuel cell engine system, having yet to build a mature components supply system. The country still needs to import most of core components and key materials including catalyst, proton exchange membrane and carbon paper, and falls far behind its foreign counterparts in technologies from membrane electrode and bipolar plate to air compressor and hydrogen circulation pump. Chinese companies still need breakthroughs in basic materials, core technologies and key components, especially in commercialization of key parts like membrane electrode.
Fuel cell catalyst: it should perform very well in properties such as activity, stability and durability and could develop into a commercial product mature enough to be mass-produced only after long-term application. Now in China, catalyst verified abroad is the first option, mainly low platinum loading catalyst with high quality and high activity; homemade catalyst test is under way at the same time.
In the global fuel cell catalyst market, Toyota uses subsidiaries' catalyst for fuel cell vehicles; Hyundai chooses fuel cell catalyst of a local producer (acquired by Umicore) in South Korea; Honda's catalyst for fuel cell vehicles is supplied by TANAKA Precious Metals; Chinese fuel cell vehicles use catalyst from TANAKA Precious Metals and Johnson Matthey.
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) is the core component of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, accounting for 30% of the entire fuel cell stack cost; and its quality determines the lifespan of the fuel cell. PEM basically transmits protons, ensure the passage of protons, and intercept electrons, hydrogen molecules, water molecules, etc., guaranteeing the performance and service life of the stack.
Concerning proton conductivity or stability, perfluorosulfuric acid membrane is the best option for the current automotive proton exchange membrane. Dongyue Group is the sole Chinese enterprise that has realized the industrialization of perfluorinated ion exchange resin, perfluorosulfonic acid proton membrane and ETFE and that can compete with foreign companies Gore and Chemours in proton exchange membrane.
Moreover, fuel cell carbon paper/powder is totally dependent on imports. Carbon powder is cheap and may well be completely imported, but from a technical point of view, the inadequate technical research on carbon materials and the weak foundation will have implications for entire research equipment of the fuel cell system in China.
In recent years, there have emerged a number of suppliers of core fuel cell components in China, but they are still heavily reliant on exports, and their technical level of core components needs improving.
Key Topics Covered:
1 Fuel Cell System
1.1 Fuel Cell System and Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV)
1.2 Fuel Cell Industry Chain
1.3 Hydrogen Refueling Station

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kosmos Energy (NYSE/LSE: KOS) (“Kosmos” or the “Company”) announced today that it has closed a Gulf of Mexico facility with Beal Bank USA and Trafigura Trading LLC (“Trafigura”).
Kosmos has restructured its previously announced Gulf of Mexico prepayment facility into a five-year $200 million term-loan facility secured against the Company’s U.S. Gulf of Mexico assets. The $50 million advanced under the prepayment agreement with Trafigura announced in June has been rolled into the new facility, structured by CSG Investments, Inc., with the remaining $150 million provided by Beal Bank. The facility, which has an interest rate of approximately 6%, increases the company’s borrowing capacity by $50 million from the initial prepayment agreement, extends the tenor to five years and includes an accordion feature allowing the facility to be expanded up to $300 million.
“The closing and syndication of the Gulf of Mexico facility enhances the company’s strong liquidity position with access to low-cost, flexible financing. Along with free cash generated by our low-cost production assets and proceeds of the recent Shell transaction expected this quarter, the company’s balance sheet is expected to strengthen into 2021,” said Neal Shah, Chief Financial Officer.
As of September 30, 2020, following the closing of the Gulf of Mexico facility, the Company has approximately $650 million of available liquidity ahead of the conclusion of the fall RBL redetermination which we expect to conclude shortly.

LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Romeo Systems, Inc. (“Romeo Power”), an energy technology company, and RMG Acquisition Corp. (“RMG”) (NYSE: RMG), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced a definitive agreement for a business combination that would result in Romeo Power becoming a publicly listed company. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will be named Romeo Power, Inc. and is expected to remain listed on the NYSE and trade under the new ticker symbol “RMO”.
Romeo Power is an industry leading energy technology company focused on designing and manufacturing lithium-ion battery modules and packs for commercial electric vehicles. Through its industry leading energy dense battery modules and packs, it enables large-scale sustainable transportation by delivering safe, longer lasting batteries with shorter charge times. The company has completed construction and development of a 7 GWh-capable manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, California, with state of the art manufacturing operations designed and scaled for high growth. Romeo Power’s core product offering serves the battery electric vehicle (BEV) medium duty short haul and heavy duty long haul trucking markets, as well as specialty trucking and buses. As the era of gas-powered vehicles continues to decline, Romeo Power’s mission is to be an industry leader in the electrification of the global transportation industry and to be the commercial electric vehicle energy provider of today and tomorrow.
Lionel Selwood Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Romeo Power, commented, “We are thrilled to announce this transaction with RMG, as it allows us to further expand our business and to continue innovating and developing new products. Romeo Power’s proprietary battery systems and patented technologies that we have developed over the last four years deliver differentiated energy density, safety, efficiency and cost savings. The need for an economically viable shift toward greener methods of transportation is evident, and we look forward to playing a critical role in the electrification of commercial vehicles globally.”
Robert Mancini, Chief Executive Officer of RMG, added, “Since our IPO in early 2019, we have evaluated nearly 150 investment opportunities in search of a company with an industry-leading disruptive technology in the industrial or energy sector. Romeo Power stood out as a differentiated leading battery technology company for commercial electric vehicles, a sector that we think is at an inflection point and poised for unprecedented growth.”
Upon completion of the merger, Robert Mancini, along with Philip Kassin, President and Chief Operating Officer of RMG, are expected to join the board of Romeo Power, contributing their significant business, financial, legal and public board experience to the governance and operations of the company.
Romeo Power’s energy technology has positioned it to lead the electrification of the global commercial vehicle market. Globally, the total addressable market (“TAM”) for commercial vehicles is estimated to be approximately $665 billion with over 17 million vehicles sold annually and steady growth expected to continue as global economic growth fuels the need for more commercial vehicles. In North America and Europe, the TAM is estimated to be approximately $225 billion with over 7 million vehicles sold annually. Romeo Power has a diversified and high quality customer base today that represents an estimated nearly 70% of the North America Class 8 market. The company has varying forms of agreements with customers, enhancing visibility into the company’s future growth, including over $300 million of currently contracted revenue.
Romeo Power is de-risking commercialization through its strategic partnerships with global leaders in vehicle component technologies, including BorgWarner, a global tier one automotive supplier. In May 2019, BorgWarner made a $50 million strategic investment in Romeo Power and entered into a joint venture, with a goal of amplifying its growing portfolio of alternative propulsion products for hybrid and electric vehicles. The investment and partnership reflect significant third party validation of Romeo Power’s technology, and allow the company to leverage BorgWarner’s customer base, supply chain and manufacturing expertise in order to accelerate growth globally and bolster operational execution in a highly capital efficient manner.
“BorgWarner congratulates Romeo Power on the achievement of this important milestone”, said Frédéric Lissalde, President and CEO of BorgWarner. “We look forward to continuing to work with Romeo Power on the expansion of their business and the global growth of the BorgWarner and Romeo Power joint venture.”
In addition, Romeo Power has a significant partnership with The Heritage Group, a leader in environmental and recycling services. The Heritage Group, through its corporate venture arm, HG Ventures, was an early investor in Romeo Power and a participant in the PIPE, and as part of the partnership, they will support the co-development of a battery reuse and recycle facility for Romeo Power’s batteries near or at end-of-life. The Heritage Group has also committed to a pilot program expected to result in converting 500+ diesel trucks in its fleet to BEVs using Romeo Power’s batteries between 2021 and 2025. Republic Services, the second largest recycling and waste disposal company in the United States with a fleet of more than 16,000 vehicles, is another strategic participant in the PIPE and intends to enter into a strategic alliance with Romeo Power.
“Several of the world’s largest logistics companies have announced their commitments to electric fleets, and just about all major OEMs have announced electric vehicle programs,” continued Lionel Selwood Jr. “The team of experts at Romeo Power, which has experience across the electric vehicle, aerospace, and broader technology industries, is excited about the opportunity to tap into this quickly growing market as we help enable the electrification of the commercial vehicle fleet globally for decades to come.”

New York State Public Service Commission Approves Itron’s 550G Gas ERT® for Use by New York Gas Utilities
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, and Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison), have announced that the New York State Public Service Commission (NYS PSC) has affirmed its consent approval of Itron’s 550G Gas Encoder Receiver Transmitter (ERT®) module for use by the state’s gas utilities. Specifically configured to meet New York regulations, the 550G gas ERT module has both Advanced Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) capabilities.
With this approval from the NYS PSC, Con Edison will now deploy 550G ERT modules on its existing IoT network from Itron as a part of its ongoing efforts to improve delivery of natural gas to its customers. The 550G ERT is equipped with cutting-edge features such as high-flow safety alarm, on-demand reads, firmware downloads from the back office and extended data storage.
“This will help our customers by providing on-demand readings: If our customer is moving out of their apartment tomorrow, we can get a reading for them,” said Jude Del Percio of Con Edison’s AMI team. “If they believe their bill is high, we can check the reading for them right away, “ he added. “These gas modules have been rigorously tested in accordance with National Standards and NYS PSC requirements and feature the unique capability to operate with handheld and mobile AMR systems, equipping us to transition to our IoT network in certain service-territory areas without need for a field visit. We constantly explore ways to innovate and take advantage of cutting-edge technology and adopt the next generation of Itron’s technology.”
“The 550G ERT module is the next step in helping our customers leverage their technology investments and reduce stranded costs by providing a seamless migration from mobile meter reading to advanced metering infrastructure,” said John Marcolini, senior vice president of Networked Solutions at Itron. “Building on our collaborations with Con Edison to deploy our IoT network and develop a ground-breaking methane sensor, we look forward to similar success with the 550G ERT module.”
