Apeiron Bioenergy Raises S$50 million through an Investment Grade Green Bond, the First Bioenergy-Focused SGD Bond Issuance in Asia

Singapore, Jun 26, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Apeiron Bioenergy ("Apeiron"), a leading integrated global player in bioenergy, raised S$50 million on Friday, 23rd June 2023, through the landmark issuance of a 5-year senior unsecured green bond guaranteed by Credit Guarantee & Investment Facility, a trust fund of the Asian Development Bank ("CGIF"), and an ASEAN+3 initiative to develop local currency bond markets.

Rated AA by S&P Global Ratings, the privately placed bond was well-received by investors and was oversubscribed despite a challenging macro environment. The green bond was issued at par and bears a coupon rate of 4.487% with HSBC as the sole lead manager.

The proceeds will be applied towards capital expenditure and asset improvement for collection points and pre-treatment facilities of waste-based feedstocks like used cooking oil ("UCO") in the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The remainder will be used for general working capital requirements. The utilisation of proceeds will be guided by Apeiron's Green Finance Framework endorsed by Sustainalytics, demonstrating the company's commitment to integrating environmental, social, and governance factors into its operations.

UCO, one of Apeiron's primary products, is one of the cleanest waste-based feedstocks for biofuel production offering the highest greenhouse gas emissions savings. It is a major feedstock for renewable biodiesel products like sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF"). As the SAF market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 42% in the next decade, the availability of feedstock emerges as a crucial bottleneck. Leveraging Apeiron's robust network of suppliers across Asia, where the collection of waste-based feedstocks remains relatively untapped, the company is well-positioned to serve as the hub for the mass consolidation of waste-based biofuel feedstocks in the region.

Chris Chen, Co-founder of Apeiron Bioenergy said, "We are delighted by the overwhelming response to our green bond issuance supported by CGIF, which demonstrates strong investor confidence and our shared mission with the Asian Development Bank. This will allow Apeiron to expand our operations and maintain our position as a leader in the bioenergy sector. Building upon our operational and financial track record, we are fully committed to reducing reliance on fossil fuels and accelerating the growth of green energy."

Mr. Hongwei Wang, Chief Executive Officer of CGIF stated, "We are pleased to support Apeiron in its inaugural green bond issuance which will certainly benefit them in diversifying funding sources to support its sustainable growth. The transaction showcases our commitment in promoting debut issuers and green bond issuances in ASEAN+3 region. The successful issuance of this bond also demonstrates market participants' confidence in CGIF and its guarantee product."

Sean Henderson, Co-Head of Debt Capital Markets, Asia-Pacific at HSBC said, "We are pleased to have supported this landmark transaction for Apeiron, the first ever SGD bond issuance from the bioenergy industry in Asia. This transaction highlights our commitment to support growth-stage companies that can facilitate the transition to a carbon-sustainable economy through increasing the availability of low-carbon alternative biofuels. The strong reception by investors also affirms the markets' support for companies that can deliver solutions for the new economy."

Empower Your Journey: BLUETTI AC60 Redefines Portable Energy for the Aussie Explorer

LAS VEGAS, NV, Jun 8, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – BLUETTI has just launched on its Australian website the world's first professional outdoor mobile power station – the AC60, which is IP65 rated to protect against water and dust. There are many other features that back up its reputation and its 6-year warranty.

Introducing the BLUETTI AC60

Equipped with a 600W inverter and a 403Wh LiFePO4 battery, the AC60 offers a high level of protection, faster charging, extreme portability, and expandable capacity. It is designed to meet the growing demand for a reliable and mobile power source for outdoor use.

Water-resistant & Dust-proof

The internal structure of the AC60 has been significantly improved: its air ducting system is independent and vacuum coated with a protective layer to prevent the ingress of liquids and dust. All its external materials pass water and dust resistance tests.

In addition, its plugs, including the patented AC outlets, are sealed from the inside out with rubber plugs for maximum protection and safety. That's why the AC60 has an IP65 rating and is defined as the perfect power source for various outdoor activities such as overlanding, beach camping, boating, and more.

Multiple Charging

The AC60 has three charging modes, including silent mode (160W), standard mode (255W), and turbo mode (600W). It can be fully charged at 600W in as little as one hour using the included turbocharging adapter. In silent charging mode, the unit reduces its sound from 45dB to 40dB, so soft that it can hardly be heard even in confined spaces such as a room or tent.

The AC60 also supports solar charging up to 200W. It is widely compatible with other solar panels besides BLUETTI's PV120/PV200 solar panels. It also supports car or lead-acid battery charging, there is always a suitable charging option.

Easy to Move Anywhere

The AC60 is the perfect adventure companion, surprisingly light at 9.1kg. It also has a compact size, like a small cooler or toolbox, with dimensions (L*W*D) of 290 mm* 205 mm*234 mm. It can easily fit into tight spaces and be moved around thanks to its folding handle.

Flexible Capacity with B80

The AC60 comes with a 403Wh LFP battery that can power several devices in a row. However, it can last longer with the expansion B80 battery. With two B80 batteries, 806Wh per pack, the AC60 can have a maximum capacity of 2,015Wh.

More Details about its Partner B80

Like the AC60, the B80 battery is IP65 rated and uses the same reliable LFP cells that have a life span of over 3,000 cycles. It also comes with the same six-year warranty as the AC60. It can be used as a power bank for other BLUETTI solar generators such as the EB3A, EB70, and AC180.

Besides complementing others, the B80 works as a standalone DC power source with three DC ports: USB-A, USB-C, and a cigarette lighter port. With 806Wh of energy, it can charge a phone up to 43 times, a laptop up to 10 times, and power light for more than 60 hours. The B80 can either charge alone or together with the AC60. It supports AC adapter charging (T200S available from BLUETTI) and 200W solar charging via an included standard PV charging cable.

Availability & Price

Pre-orders for the AC60 and B80 combo in Australia will begin on June 8, with a limited-time early bird price of $1789 until June 22.

Matahio Energy completes acquisition of onshore assets in New Zealand

TARANAKI, New Zealand, Jun 6, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Matahio Energy has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of six onshore oil and gas licenses in the Taranaki Basin, North Island, New Zealand.

Matahio will be the operator of these licenses, holding 100% participating interest in four licenses, and 70% interest in the remaining two licenses. Of the six licenses, three are currently producing. The sale and purchase agreement between the parties was signed in March 2022. All required approvals for the relevant New Zealand regulatory authorities have been obtained to complete this transaction

Key highlights of the transaction:

– Operatorship of two fields, namely Cheal and Sidewinder, which are currently producing a total of 1.4 Kboepd (thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day), net to Matahio. Cheal and Sidewinder are well-established, prolific fields, which have produced over 5 MM bbls (million barrels of oil) to date, since the first oil in 2008.

– Matahio is adding 2 MM boe (million barrels of oil equivalent) 2P reserves (Net, effective date 1st January 2023). At prevailing oil prices and contemporary OPEX rates, the Cheal and Sidewinder fields are expected to generate positive cash flow until 2030. The New Zealand business's EBITDA for the calendar year 2022 was NZD$29 MM

– The transaction also includes full technical and operational teams, based in New Plymouth, who have a track record in delivering strong health, safety & environment (HSE) and production performance. Most notably, recent production optimisation efforts have resulted in production rates returning to 2015 levels without drilling any new wells.

– Matahio has crafted a multi-year development programme consisting of infill and step-out drilling as well as the appraisal of newer fields in the Puka license (which was 100% acquired by Matahio) to be tied back to existing operated infrastructure. This organic growth programme targets an additional 3.8 MM boe and, if successful, will ensure more than 100% replacement of reserves across Matahio's portfolio. Coincident with this transaction, the first Cheal infill well as part of this programme is currently being completed.

– Matahio has constructed a bottom-up greenhouse gas reduction plan that projects the New Zealand business to be "net-zero" by 2030. A significant component of this plan is a deep decarbonization of the operation, for which a number of projects have been initiated in 2023, targeting an immediate impact on Matahio New Zealand's carbon footprint.

– Under Matahio ownership, cash contributions will continue to be made to an escrow fund that ultimately covers future abandonment liabilities.

– Matahio Energy New Zealand has already committed to several Taranaki partnerships and sponsorships. This transaction now opens the door to other opportunities to collaborate with the Taranaki community.

Dr Wai-Lid Wong, CEO of Matahio Energy, says, "We are excited to progress the multi-dimensional plans we have laid out for this portfolio of assets in New Zealand.

"First and foremost, the execution of an expansive production optimisation and development programme, which has already borne fruit, will continue to exhibit Matahio's mature field management credentials. This includes maintaining the portfolio's OPEX per barrel at levels lower than 40 USD/bbl. Second, the proving-up of prospects in the Puka license area, and utilising existing infrastructure for its development, will enhance the longevity of our New Zealand business. And finally, to undertake a complex decarbonisation plan, which underpins our New Zealand net zero strategy and aims to demonstrate that this growth does not need to be at the expense of the environment."

He added, "We are also keen to continue discussions with our industry peers, investors, government, and other key stakeholders to ensure that the oil and gas industry is effectively participating in an orderly energy transition in New Zealand, which supports the country achieving its overall net zero ambitions."

The AC300 system can support a maximum solar input of 2,400W, while 3,000W for AC500. They can deliver constant power to devices or store any excess energy in their batteries for later use. Numerous solar panels, including the BLUETTI PV200, PV350, and PV420, can be used for efficient charging.

Upgraded Battery Pack
The B300S is designed with an intelligent self-heating capability to heat up responsively even when the ambient temperature is as low as -20 degrees Celsius, ensuring that the AC500 system operates smoothly during winter.

Friendly to B300 Users
The AC500 is compatible with B300 and B300S, so the AC300 owners can gain 170% power by purchasing an AC500 instead of replacing the entire system. They can also be mixed in an AC500 system (up to 4 packs in total).

Is AC300 still worth it?
When considering the price difference of up to $999, the AC300 may be a more budget-friendly option for users who don't require extreme performance. Yet, the AC500 would be a better choice for those living in colder areas, as it offers higher power and more efficient charge/discharge rates.
