LanzaJet Applauds Signing into Law the Inflation Reduction Act

LanzaJet

The passage of The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will catalyze a new domestic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) industry to decarbonize the aviation sector. LanzaJet, Inc., a leading SAF producer, and technology provider through its proprietary Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) process, applauds the IRA's passage. It recognizes the critical role this legislation will play in enabling aggressive scale-up of SAF, supporting an ecosystem of innovation and transformation in aviation. The aviation industry and the Administration share a joint goal under the SAF Grand Challenge of achieving 3 billion gallons of domestic SAF production by 2030 and 100% SAF by 2050. The IRA provides critical policy tools to scale domestic SAF production to achieve these ambitious goals rapidly. LanzaJet committed in 2021 to fulfilling one-third of the U.S. target by enabling the production of 1 billion gallons of SAF by 2030 using its industry-leading technology, which converts ethanol into drop-in SAF and renewable diesel. The U.S. market provides significant access to low-carbon, sustainable feedstocks and waste sources that can be converted into ethanol and from ethanol into sustainable transportation fuels. "The U.S. is poised to lead the world in the energy transition, and this legislation is a leap forward in advancing energy security, economic development, and climate action. LanzaJet applauds Congress for leading through action, and the inclusion of a performance-based Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) tax credit positions the U.S. to lead in developing a new, global sustainable fuels industry. We look forward to working with Congress and industry leaders to accelerate the transition to clean energy," stated Jimmy Samartzis, CEO of LanzaJet. He continued, "We've been at an inflection point in building this new industry. The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act allows U.S. manufacturing, agriculture, biofuel, oil and gas, aviation, and financial industries to double-down, work together, and advance the development of the sustainable fuels industry." LanzaJet has been a strong advocate and industry leader on the SAF provisions in the IRA, which includes a new performance-based SAF tax credit. This innovative feedstock and technology-neutral credit provides an incentive of up to $1.75/gallon for SAF to achieve a 100% lifecycle GHG reduction that will drive investment in the high-performing SAF technologies like ATJ, which our nation will need to decarbonize the aviation sector. Access to low-cost capital is one of the most significant barriers to the rapid deployment of SAF technologies that have been proven but not yet deployed at a commercial scale. The IRA's $245 million in complementary grant funding for SAF projects will further de-risk investment and speed the deployment of next-generation SAF technologies. LanzaJet's investors and partners recognize and applaud Congress for enacting a suite of foundational and innovative SAF policies that will ensure continued U.S. leadership in the emerging SAF industry and are already working to transform the nation's economy. LanzaJet works in collaboration with its investors, partners, and funders, including LanzaTech, Mitsui & Co, Ltd., Suncor Energy, British Airways, Shell, Microsoft, and All Nippon Airways, to develop the U.S. SAF industry. The IRA's SAF provisions will enable continued advancement and development of projects using LanzaJet's ATJ technology, over 300 million gallons of which have already been publicly announced. Upon President Biden signing this bill into law, LanzaJet's investors reinforced the importance of this legislation in building a new SAF industry and in working together to continue to expand SAF production: LanzaTech's CEO and LanzaJet Board Chair, Jennifer Holmgren, said, "This is a critical time for hard-to-abate sectors, including aviation. By enacting historic sustainable aviation fuel policies within the Inflation Reduction Act, the new tax credits and aviation grant programs will provide critical support for spurring a new domestic industry in the U.S., which can lower emissions, create new American jobs, and improve energy security and show U.S. global leadership." Mr. Toru Iijima, Chief Operating Officer of the Energy Solutions Business Unit of Mitsui & Co., Ltd., stated, "Mitsui welcomes the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act that will further support production and use of SAF in the United States. We look forward to jointly building the SAF industry in strong partnership with LanzaJet and other stakeholders and to contributing to the decarbonization of the aviation industry." Sir David King, world-renowned climate scientist, and technology leader, member of LanzaJet's Board of Directors, and former Chief Scientific Advisor to the United Kingdom and Head of the Government Office for Science, said, "The Inflation Reduction Act is a major step forward for the U.S. in combating climate change, the biggest challenge facing humanity today. The world is already experiencing extreme weather events causing enormous losses and costs. Speaking for the world, this Act is a potentially enormous step forward for the States to join Europe in taking a leading role in managing these threats and growing green economies. The SAF tax credit provisions in the Act and grant funding for SAF projects represent a critical step by the U.S. government in catalyzing the SAF industry to enable decarbonization of the aviation industry." About LanzaJet LanzaJet is a leading sustainable fuels technology company dedicated to accelerating the energy transition by embracing the circular economy. As a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) technology provider and producer with patented and proprietary technology, LanzaJet is creating an opportunity for future generations by accelerating the deployment of SAF and other clean technologies critical to addressing the climate crisis and transforming the global economy.

Don’t Give This Company The Brush Off? Brüush Offers Mid-Priced Electric Toothbrush In An Interesting Market

Bruush Oral Care Inc.

While the jury’s still out on whether electric toothbrushes are more effective than manual ones, a number of companies are betting consumers will increasingly adopt them. https://profiles.smallcapsdaily.com/bruush/ The American Dental Association says both manual and electric brushes remove plaque and bacteria from teeth — so long as you’re using a proper brushing technique. More recently, the Journal of the American Dental Association published a survey that found that 13,000 out of 16,000 patients who used an electric toothbrush reported better oral health. The global electric toothbrush market size was estimated to be worth $4.3 billion in 2022 and projected to increase to just over $6 billion by 2027, according to Statista. Some are betting big with high-priced devices, while others are banking on consumers looking for value. And then there are those that fall somewhere in the middle. Koninklijke Philips N.V.’ s (NYSE: PHG) Sonicare line has a variety of options, with the least expensive starting at about $20 and the company’s most advanced electric toothbrush — which gets guidance from an app using artificial intelligence — selling for $380. Joining Philips with a lower-end offering is Quip. Starter kits for Quip’s adult electric toothbrushes start at $20. You get the handle with three-month battery life, a soft-bristle brush head and a cover. Quip will send you a new brush head and free battery every three months for $5. Brushing Off The Competition? Then there’s Brüush (NASDAQ: BRSH), which says it takes the confusion out of deciding what to buy with its $79 electric toothbrush kit. Brüush, which comes in three core colors and the seasonal colors, has six cleaning modes for every type of brusher. The company’s website says Gentle makes smiles clean and bright, while the Tongue mode keeps your mouth smelling fresh. Brüush estimates 70% of its customer base is between ages 18 and 45 years old, a group that’s under-penetrated compared to baby boomers in terms of using an electric toothbrush. This age group also consists of the first digital generations when it comes to shopping and e-commerce brand loyalty to businesses like Apple Inc. (AAPL), perhaps a positive for a company where the website accounts for the majority of sales. If you’re in the market for an electric toothbrush, Brüush says to be sure to buy one that comfortably fits inside your mouth — usually, smaller is better so you can maneuver it to make sure you’re brushing all your teeth. Looking for a brush with soft bristles that are gentle on teeth and gums to avoid irritation is a good idea — a self-timer feature also is recommended to ensure you brush the full two minutes dentists recommend. Toothbrush heads should be replaced every 12 weeks — which makes Brüush’s subscription model that sends customers three new brush heads for $18 every six months a convenient way to stay on top of changing them. By comparison, replacing brush heads for Sonicare products can cost as much as $43 for a three-pack, and the price of the Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG) Oral-B line of replacement brush heads reaches as high as $40 for a three-pack. Visit Brüush’s website to learn more about the company and its products. About Bruush Oral Care Inc. Bruush Oral Care Inc. is on a mission to inspire confidence through brighter smiles and better oral health. Founded in 2018, Brüush is an oral care company that is disrupting the space by reducing the barriers between consumers and access to premium oral care products. The Company is an e-commerce business with a product portfolio that currently consists of a sonic-powered electric toothbrush kit and brush head refills. Brüush has developed a product to make upgrading to an electric brush appealing with three core priorities in mind: (i) a high-quality electric toothbrush at a more affordable price than a comparable electric toothbrush from the competition; (ii) a sleek, countertop-friendly design; and (iii) a convenient brush head refill subscription program that eliminates the frustrating experience of purchasing replacement brush heads at the grocery/drug store. The Company is rooted in building a brand that creates relevant experiences and content, with the goal of becoming the go-to oral care brand for millennials and Generation Z.For more information on Bruush Oral Care Inc visit https://bruush.com.

Third times the charm: OPPO wins again EISA’s ADVANCED SMARTPHONE 2022-2023 AWARD breaks new ground with the EISA IN-EAR HEADPHONES 2022-2023 AWARD

OPPO

The Find X5 Pro wins coveted EISA award for ADVANCED SMARTPHONE of the Year The Enco X2 wins EISA award for IN-EAR HEADPHONES of the Year SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach - 15 August 2022 - Today, OPPO, one of the leading manufacturers of smart devices in the world, receives two prestigious awards: the “EISA ADVANCED SMARTPHONE 2022-2023" award for the flagship handset, the OPPO Find X5 Pro, and the “EISA IN-EAR HEADPHONES 2022-2023" award for the Enco X2 earbuds. The accolades were presented by the Expert Image and Sound Association (EISA), a coalition of 59 of the most reputable consumer electronics publications in the world. Bingo Liu, President of OPPO Western Europe revealed: "We are overjoyed to receive the EISA award for the innovation of the Find X5 Pro." Winning the advanced smartphone award for third year in a row demonstrates our dedication to creating devices that exceed consumer expectations and provide premium out-of-this-world experiences. The Find X5 Pro raises the bar for smartphone imaging and premium design by incorporating industry-leading features that allow consumers to be their true selves and inspire their expression of individuality on their own terms. It’s an honour to be recognised for our efforts in upleveling the smartphone market but to also receive recognition for our latest IoT device is thrilling. Building on the momentum of the previous generation, Enco X, the Enco X2 redefines the audio experience while also serving as a fashion statement with its class-leading acoustic performance and elegant design." Paul Miller, President of EISA shared: “Incorporating a superior camera system with advanced stabilisation technology, amazing battery capacity and a premium build, the impressive OPPO Find X5 Pro is a smartphone whose features define the current state-of-the-art. Inside the glass-fronted chassis (finished in white or black ceramic) resides a 4nm octa-core Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, and up to 512GB storage and 12GB RAM. Combined with its 170mm LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display with dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, the Find X5 Pro offers an unbeatable specification – and with its powerful 50MP main camera complemented by a 50MP ultra-wide angle lens and 13MP telephoto lens with OIS, we rate it currently the most advanced smartphone in the world, by far.” The OPPO Find X5 Pro is the result of a decade of research and development into mobile camera systems. This has allowed OPPO to create the MariSilicon X, OPPO’s self-developed chipset, dedicated to bringing to life the beauty in front of the camera. The paradigm-shifting imaging technology made its debut within this industry-recognised smartphone powerhouse and changed the industry forever. The handset takes computational photography to the next level with a particular focus on low-light videography, where each frame has detail, clarity and dynamic range that excels in conjunction with OPPO’s 1 Billion Colour Capture technology. Paul Miller, President of EISA further added: “Key to the appeal of OPPO’s true wireless Enco X2 is the collaboration with audio specialist Dynaudio, but arguably the most important feature is an ability to record Dolby binaural stereo sound, a must-have function for modern content creators. A bold upgrade on its predecessor model, the Enco X2 features a new two-way coaxial driver arrangement, partnering an ultra-light, ultra-thin dynamic bass driver with quad-magnet planar unit that handles high frequencies to a rated 40kHz. Allied to these hardware innovations are advanced processing – including active noise cancelling – and high-quality DAC supporting 96kHz sample rates. OPPO’s earbuds feature special antibacterial tips and are dust/water resistant. This is a top-level wireless in-ear headphone mixing rich features with extremely good sound reproduction.” The OPPO Enco X2 continues to provide premium true-to-life sound quality with its collaboration with Dynaudio. It features a coaxial dual-driver design, often only seen in high-end audio products. It offers an industry-leading noise cancellation capability with a 45 dB maximum depth and a 4 kHz maximum width. The 45dB depth helps you find a quiet corner, no matter where you are – whether at work, on a bus, or even in the air.
