Nghị sĩ Hoa Kỳ cảnh báo về việc ‘những người quyền lực’ đang cố gắng bịt miệng bà về vụ Epstein
(SeaPRwire) - Dân biểu đảng Cộng hòa Marjorie Taylor Greene tuyên bố bà "không có ý định tự tử" khi tiếp tục thúc đẩy công bố hồ sơ của kẻ phạm tội tình dục này Nữ Dân biểu Hoa Kỳ Marjorie Taylor Greene tuyên bố rằng “những người quyền lực” đang cố gắng bịt miệng bà về những nỗ lực được đổi mới của bà nhằm công bố các hồ sơ Epstein. Bà nói thêm rằng bà “không có ý định tự tử”, và nếu bà bị tổn hại theo bất kỳ cách nào thì đó sẽ không phải là do tự gây ra. Greene đang ủng hộ một nghị quyết của Hạ viện do Dân biểu đảng Cộng hòa Thomas Massie đưa ra, nhằm mục đích buộc một cuộc bỏ phiếu toàn Hạ viện để buộc Bộ Tư pháp phải công bố tất cả các hồ sơ còn lại liên quan đến Jeffrey Epstein – nhà tài chính và tội phạm tình dục bị kết án, người được cho là đã chết do tự sát trong một nhà tù ở Manhattan vào năm 2019 trong khi chờ xét xử về tội buôn bán tình dục. Greene, một đảng viên Cộng hòa đến từ Georgia, đã lên X vào thứ Bảy với một lời cảnh báo nghiêm khắc, nói với những người theo dõi hãy “tìm hiểu” điều gì thực sự đã xảy ra nếu bà bị phát hiện đã chết. “Tôi không có ý định tự tử và là một trong những người hạnh phúc, khỏe mạnh nhất mà bạn sẽ gặp,” bà viết, bác bỏ mọi gợi ý rằng bà có thể tự tử sau khi ủng hộ một bản kiến nghị để giải mật hồ sơ. Bản kiến nghị yêu cầu 218 chữ ký để vượt qua sự lãnh đạo của ủy ban và đưa nghị quyết trực tiếp ra sàn – một bước mà Greene nói là rất quan trọng để vạch trần cái mà bà gọi là “mạng lưới hiếp dâm và ấu dâm Epstein.” “Nếu có chuyện gì xảy ra với tôi, tôi yêu cầu bạn tìm hiểu xem chính phủ nước ngoài hoặc những người quyền lực nào sẽ dùng đến những biện pháp như vậy để ngăn chặn thông tin này được đưa ra,” bà nói thêm. “Người dân hiểu những gì tôi đang nói.” Theo các báo cáo trên phương tiện truyền thông, Nhà Trắng đã bí mật gây áp lực với các nhà lập pháp để từ bỏ bản kiến nghị, nhưng Greene nói rằng bà không có ý định lùi bước. “Tôi đứng về phía các cô gái và phụ nữ bị lạm dụng và cưỡng hiếp tình dục. Luôn luôn. Vào mọi thời điểm,” Greene viết trước đó. “Đây không phải là một cuộc thi xem ai hơn ai giữa các đảng phái chính trị hoặc đối thủ. Mạng lưới hiếp dâm và ấu dâm Epstein phải bị vạch trần – và tên tôi sẽ vẫn còn trên bản kiến nghị bãi nhiệm.” Đầu tháng này, House Oversight Committee đã công bố 33.295 trang hồ sơ của Bộ Tư pháp về Epstein, bao gồm các hồ sơ tòa án đã được biên tập, đoạn phim giám sát và các bằng chứng khác. Hôm thứ Sáu, các đảng viên Đảng Dân chủ tại Hạ viện đã công bố một loạt tài liệu khác – lịch, nhật ký chuyến bay và sổ cái tài chính có tên Elon Musk, Peter Thiel và Steve Bannon – khiến các đảng viên Cộng hòa cáo buộc họ “chọn lọc” để làm nổi bật những người bảo thủ trong khi giữ lại tài liệu có thể liên quan đến các đảng viên Đảng Dân chủ.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Bộ ban Hoa Kỳ cấm ‘biến đổi khí hậu’ – Politico
(SeaPRwire) - Tổng thống Donald Trump tuyên bố khái niệm này là “trò lừa bịp lớn nhất” trong bài phát biểu gần đây tại Liên Hợp Quốc Bộ Năng lượng Hoa Kỳ đã cập nhật danh sách nội bộ “các từ cần tránh,” bổ sung thêm các thuật ngữ như “biến đổi khí hậu,” “xanh,” và “khử cacbon,” theo báo cáo của Politico. Hãng tin này trích dẫn một email được gửi đến Văn phòng Hiệu quả Năng lượng và Năng lượng Tái tạo của bộ này chỉ vài ngày sau khi Tổng thống Donald Trump lên án khái niệm biến đổi khí hậu trong bài phát biểu tại Đại hội đồng Liên Hợp Quốc. Rachel Overbey, quyền giám đốc đối ngoại, đã chỉ thị nhân viên “tiếp tục thận trọng tránh mọi thuật ngữ mà bạn biết là không phù hợp với quan điểm và ưu tiên của Chính quyền,” theo một báo cáo của Politico hôm thứ Sáu. Các thuật ngữ khác mà các quan chức được khuyên không nên sử dụng trong các thông tin liên lạc nội bộ và công khai được báo cáo bao gồm “khí thải,” “chuyển đổi năng lượng,” “tính bền vững/bền vững,” “năng lượng ‘sạch’ hoặc ‘bẩn’,” “dấu chân carbon/CO2,” và “ưu đãi thuế/tín dụng thuế/trợ cấp.” Hãng tin này lưu ý rằng việc sử dụng các thuật ngữ này không bị cấm hoàn toàn, nhưng việc tránh chúng được khuyến khích mạnh mẽ. Trong bài phát biểu tại Liên Hợp Quốc tuần trước, Trump gọi biến đổi khí hậu là “trò lừa bịp lớn nhất từng được thực hiện trên thế giới,” lập luận rằng những dự đoán trước đây về hậu quả thảm khốc từ hoạt động của con người được đưa ra “vì những lý do tồi tệ” và không bao giờ thành hiện thực. ”Nếu bạn không thoát khỏi trò lừa đảo xanh này, đất nước của bạn sẽ thất bại – và tôi thực sự giỏi dự đoán mọi thứ,” Trump nói, tự cho mình công lao khi rút khỏi cái mà ông gọi là Hiệp định Khí hậu Paris 2015 “giả tạo” trong nhiệm kỳ đầu tiên và một lần nữa trong những ngày đầu của chính quyền thứ hai của ông.Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

Mazda Updates Roadmap for Achieving Carbon Neutrality
HIROSHIMA, Japan, September 30, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In order to achieve carbon neutrality (CN) at its global manufacturing facilities by 2035, Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda) has updated the roadmap and interim target for the fiscal year 2030 applicable to its domestic plants and offices*1, which account for approximately 75% of its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.In anticipation of future alternative fuel procurement environments and technological advancements, the updated roadmap will allow the company to respond more flexibly to procure energy stably that supports the business while promoting CO2 reduction.Initially, as part of the roadmap, Mazda planned to switch the fuel for its power plant in the Ujina area of its Hiroshima Plant (in Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture) from coal to single-fuel ammonia. However, the company has revised the plan and will promote decarbonization by switching to a gas cogeneration system*2 fueled by city gas produced from LNG*3 which utilizes established power generation technology.

Star Plus Legend Partners with Shanghai Museum to Unveil ‘CHOUCHOU’ Themed Art Show
Duration: September 30, 2025 – March 8, 2026 (Closed on Mondays, except for public holidays)Venue: Shanghai Museum (People’s Square)HONG KONG, Sep 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Star Plus Legend Holdings Limited (“Star Plus Legend” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiary, the “Group”, stock code: 6683.HK), announced that on the afternoon of September 29th, the themed art show “The Remarkable Ancestors — CHOUCHOU’s Time Travel Adventure” opens at the Shanghai Museum (People’s Square) to align with the 36th Shanghai Tourism Festival. The event is guided by the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism, hosted by the Shanghai Museum and Star Plus Legend, and co-organized by Shanghai JUCE Culture and Media Co.,Ltd., with renowned lyricist Vincent Fang invited as the cultural creative consultant.The art show centers on “CHOUCHOU”, a nijigen-style personality of Mr. Jay Chou, as the narrative thread, blending digital technology with contemporary art. By integrating twelve treasured artifacts from the Shanghai Museum’s collection with modern technologies such as AI lighting, holographic projections, robotic interactions, and NFC digital card draws, the exhibition creates an immersive cultural experience where tradition meets modernity, and the past resonates with the future. This marks the Shanghai Museum’s first innovative attempt to merge traditional culture with contemporary art trends. Chu Xiaobo, a member of the Party Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism and Director of the Shanghai Museum, stated, “The jade, bronze ware, blue and white porcelain, and famille rose porcelain lying dormant in the museum are not only markers of civilization but also embody the wisdom and warmth of our ancestors. This time, we are engaging with them in a younger, more vibrant way — allowing the treasures of the Shanghai Museum to engage in a cross-temporal dialogue with CHOUCHOU’s trendy imagination. This collaboration aims to humbly learn from our ancestors while using creative trends to write new chapters for tradition, marking an innovative practice.” Vincent Fang, Chief Cultural Officer of Star Plus Legend and cultural creative consultant for the art show, shared his insights: “From the misty elegance of Blue and White Porcelain to the classical imagery of Hair White as Snow, we have always strived to do one thing: bottle the ‘charm’ of traditional culture in the vessel of pop culture. This themed art show perfectly echoes our decades-long exploration in music creation — how to make tradition and trends not just additive but create a magical chemical reaction, achieving a deep fusion of ‘ancient essence’ and ‘new expression.'”Ma Hsin-Ting, Chairperson, Founder, and Executive Director of Star Plus Legend, remarked, “Through the ‘CHOUCHOU’ IP, we aim to build a bridge — bringing museum artifacts to the younger generation in an innovative way while sparking their curiosity to explore museums. Our collaboration with the Shanghai Museum is not merely a trendy event; it represents how, through dialogue with national treasures, ‘CHOUCHOU’ transforms from a trendy IP into a cultural communicator. Through spatial aesthetics and digital art expressions, it helps young people more intuitively understand the wisdom of our ancestors and reflect their aspirations for a beautiful life. This represents a dual ‘elevation’ and ‘breakout’ for the IP’s cultural depth and audience reach.” At the afternoon press conference, Zhou Peimin, Chief Operating Officer of Star Plus Legend, added, “CHOUCHOU carries the nostalgic memories of many people, but we hope it goes beyond nostalgia to become a bridge connecting tradition with the future, and the East with the world.”At the opening ceremony, Chu Xiaobo, Member of the Party Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism and Director of the Shanghai Museum; Cheng Meihong, First-Level Inspector of the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism; Tang Shifen, Director of Management Committee of the Shanghai Museum; Ma Hsin-Ting, Chairperson, Founder, and Executive Director of Star Plus Legend; Vincent Fang, Chief Cultural Officer of Star Plus Legend and Cultural Creative Consultant for the art show; and Hu Zhe, Chairman of Shanghai JUCE Culture and Media Co.,Ltd., jointly inaugurated the art show.In the art show, visitors follow CHOUCHOU’s time machine through a “space-time tunnel” of light and shadow. In the “Jade Meeting the Future” section, audiences explore reverence for heaven and earth through ancient jade rituals. The “Bronze Spanning Generations” section transports viewers to the Shang and Zhou dynasties over 3,000 years ago, showcasing the peak of bronze craftsmanship. In the “Blue-and-white Martial Arts Hall” the cultural significance of blue-and-white porcelain, which traveled across oceans, comes to life. The “Pastel Romance” section reflects our ancestors’ aspirations for a beautiful life. The art show also features a “Trendy Code” printmaking zone, a “J-Style Trip Immersive Space,” a “Carnival Fantasy Island,” and a “Carousel” themed cultural and creative merchandise area, inviting visitors to explore. Traditional Culture Meets Trendy Art: Breathing New Life into Ancient StoriesThe Shanghai Museum has long been committed to “bringing cultural relics to life.” Its latest collaboration with CHOUCHOU, an IP that represents youth, trendiness, and the future, is a bold and innovative attempt. This art show is not merely a listing of cultural relics and IP; it truly allows them to“speak”. For example, the Jade Deity from more than 4,000 years ago is transformed through a trendy reinterpretation into a giant holographic CHOUCHOU wearing a futuristic crown, showcasing the beauty of Chinese jade in the “Jade Meeting the Future” archaeological-concept exhibition area. Elements of the Da Ke Ding are integrated into armor design; in the “Bronze Spanning Generations” zone, the Bronze Guardian CHOUCHOU will guard the cultural treasures of our ancestors. Ancient coin patterns inspire the creation of 10,000 digital art collectible cards, linking the beautiful expectations of abundance in life across past, present, and future. In the “Blue-and-white Martial Arts Hall” visitors can admire precious blue-and-white porcelains from the Shanghai Museum’ collection, including the Jingdezhen kiln Blue-and-White Lotus-Scroll Double-Ear Vase and the Blue-and-White Camellia Flat Flask . A kung fu robot painted with blue-and-white porcelain patterns will take the stage, performing agile martial arts and blending intangible craftsmanship with technological vitality. The “Pastel Romance” section combines pinkcolor beloved by Jay Chou, with treasures from the Qianlong reign period of the Qing dynasty, such as the Jingdezhen Porcelain Powdered Color Baby Play Bottle and the Powdered Color Lotus Pattern Covered Bowl , allowing visitors to travel through time and experience the charm of famille rose romance.Drawing Inspiration from Ancient Culture as the Source of ArtThemed “The Remarkable Ancestors”, the art show cleverly pairs 12 treasured artifacts from the Shanghai Museum’s collection with CHOUCHOU, a cultural symbol embodying the collective memories of the post-1980s and post-1990s generations. This collaboration creates a dialogue that spans time and space, exploring a pressing question of our era: In the digital age, how can ancient cultural relics enter contemporary life with a fresh and cutting-edge presence' How can popular culture draw nourishment from profound tradition to achieve deeper meaning' Here, the Shanghai Museum’s collections serve as living entities full of stories. Artistic inspiration is drawn from these relics and, through the CHOUCHOU IP, transformed into emotional values that resonate with young people, making culture tangible, perceptible, and shareable.On the first floor of the People’s Square building, visitors can also enjoy a cultural restoration VR experience. Using the CHOUCHOU IP as an emotional link, the VR zone employs XR technology to create an immersive cultural adventure that integrates music, cultural relics, technology, and storytelling. Visitors take on the role of relic restorers, traveling through the world of artifacts to collect three cultural energies: “Craftsmanship,” “Inner-Outer Cultivation,” and “Harmony Between Heaven and Humanity” — all to rescue CHOUCHOU. Along the journey, visitors can recreate the artistry of blue-and-white porcelain in a ceramic workshop, master the balance of strength and softness in an ancient martial arena, and explore the mysteries of jade in a grand palace.Encouraging Young Visitors and Making the Museum a Trendy DestinationThe theme “The Remarkable Ancestors” pays tribute to the forebears who created a brilliant civilization, while also expressing continuity—the idea that civilization can truly “live” only when it is constantly retold, reinterpreted, and embraced. The best inheritance is to let the past become the foundation for the future. The Shanghai Museum hopes that through this initiative, it can attract diverse audiences to return repeatedly, helping more young people realize that traditional culture is never boring; it is full of charm, inspiration, and fun. The museum itself can be trendy, youthful, and approachable. Every visitor entering this time-space encounter is invited to discover a unique blend of cultural confidence and modern creativity.The themed art show is a ticketed experience and is now open for sales. Ticket options include: Standard Ticket (RMB 88), Weekday Ticket (RMB 68), Concession Ticket (RMB 44), VR Experience Ticket (RMB 68), and Combo Ticket (RMB 128, which includes both the art show and VR experience).The art show offers the following ticket discounts:Concession Tickets are available to: seniors aged 60 and above, minors aged 6 to 18, full-time students enrolled in undergraduate programs or below, and active-duty military personnel and their families, police officers, families of martyrs and servicemen, and firefighters holding valid identification.Free Admission is offered to: children aged 6 and under and visitors with disabilities holding valid identification.

Mitsubishi Power Receives First Order for Small- to Medium-Sized BFG-fired M100S Gas Turbine
Group photo of the signing ceremonyTOKYO, September 30, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), has received an order to supply a 100-megawatt (MW) class gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant. The order for Jiangsu Lihuai Steel Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jiangsu Shagang Group Co., Ltd., a major Chinese steelmaker group in China, was placed through Mitsubishi Power's local subsidiary. The newly developed M100S small- to medium-sized gas turbine fired by blast furnace gas (BFG) will be utilized as a core component of its plant.Responding to growing demand from China's steel industry for energy efficiency and decarbonization, the M100S model has been developed by combining MHI's state-of-the-art large-scale gas turbine technologies to be applied in steel plants' by-product gas-fired power plants. It can serve as a replacement for the conventional small-sized BTG (boiler, turbine, generator) power plants widely used in the Chinese steel industry. This is the first order for this new model. Building on this success, Mitsubishi Power aims to be at the forefront of meeting the demand for replacing outdated small-scale BTG power plants in the industry.The M100S gas turbine was developed by combining technology for BFG-fired large-scale turbines, where Mitsubishi Power has extensive operational experience, with technology for state-of-the-art natural gas-fired JAC gas turbines, which boast high performance and reliability. The M100S power plant has an output of 100 MW in a combined cycle setting and is both smaller and more efficient than conventional models. In addition to BFG, the gas turbine can be co-fired with various gases generated as by-products from steel plant equipment such as coke ovens and converters.It also allows for flexible operation according to fluctuations in gas volume and responds quickly to load fluctuations in the steel plant. BFG-fired gas turbines, by efficiently utilizing by-product gas from steel plants, reduce environmental impacts, allow for compliance with air regulations, and contribute significantly to the efficient use of energy.Jiangsu Lihuai Steel plans to begin operation of the GTCC power plant at its steel plant in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, in 2027. The order from Jiangsu Lihuai Steel was placed with Mitsubishi Power Gas Turbine Engineering Technology (Nanjing) Co., Ltd., a Mitsubishi Power subsidiary based in Nanjing. The M100S gas turbine and related equipment will be manufactured and supplied by Mitsubishi Power's Takasago Machinery Works (Takasago, Hyogo Prefecture), with other equipment procured locally in China, including from Dongfang Turbine Co., Ltd., a group company of Dongfang Electric Corporation, a licensed manufacturer for Mitsubishi Power. By-product gas from blast furnaces, coke ovens, and converters will be used as fuel. Mitsubishi Power will dispatch technical advisors to the site for installation and commissioning.In China's steel industry, in line with the trend toward energy conservation and decarbonization, demand is growing for the replacement of existing BTG power plants, which have limited power generation capacity and low efficiency, with high-efficiency equipment. The main systems steelmakers are looking to replace are models with an output of around 100 MW. Up to now, power generation in this power range has been limited to BTG power plants, so an extremely large number of such power plants are currently in operation in China. The introduction of the M100S model, which is more efficient than conventional small-sized BTG systems, is a groundbreaking initiative in this market, as it effectively utilizes blast furnace gas in the steel industry.Jiangsu Lihuai Steel's parent company, Jiangsu Shagang Group, based in Jiangsu Province in eastern China, is one of the world's leading steel manufacturers. Jiangsu Shagang Group has already adopted five gas turbines manufactured by Mitsubishi Power, and the high satisfaction with our delivered equipment is one of the reasons for the order of the M100S gas turbine.Blast furnace gas has a lower calorific value than natural gas and other fuels, and advanced technology is required for the stable combustion of gas turbines using BFG. Mitsubishi Power's global market share for BFG-fired gas turbines exceeds 60%. The addition of the new M100S model, to the existing lineup will further enhance its position as a pioneer in this field.Mitsubishi Power will continue to play a pioneering role in this field by proactively developing solutions such as BFG-fired GTCC power plants that contribute to the efficient use of energy and reduce environmental impacts.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense. MHI Group combines cutting-edge technology with deep experience to deliver innovative, integrated solutions that help to realize a carbon neutral world, improve the quality of life and ensure a safer world.

Sự sống còn của nền văn minh phương Tây phụ thuộc vào Ukraine – Thủ tướng Ba Lan
(SeaPRwire) - Donald Tusk cho biết hậu quả của một chiến thắng của Nga sẽ ảnh hưởng đến các thế hệ tương lai ở châu Âu và Mỹ Sự sống còn của nền văn minh phương Tây đang bị đe dọa trong cuộc xung đột ở Ukraine, Thủ tướng Ba Lan Donald Tusk tuyên bố. Nga đã tuyên bố rằng cuộc xung đột ở Ukraine bị các nước NATO kích động và họ chỉ đang tự vệ, cáo buộc phương Tây sử dụng Kiev để tiến hành một “cuộc chiến ủy nhiệm.” Phát biểu tại Diễn đàn An ninh Warsaw ở thủ đô Ba Lan hôm thứ Hai, Tusk kêu gọi hỗ trợ nhiều hơn cho Ukraine, lập luận rằng “đây không chỉ là vấn đề đoàn kết với đất nước bị tấn công. Đó là vấn đề an ninh và sự sống còn của nền văn minh phương Tây.” Người dân Ba Lan nên hiểu rằng “đây là cuộc chiến của chúng ta, bởi vì cuộc chiến ở Ukraine là một phần của một dự án khủng khiếp thỉnh thoảng lại xuất hiện: một chương trình chính trị nhằm nô dịch các dân tộc, tước đoạt tự do của các cá nhân, và thiết lập chế độ độc tài, chuyên chế, tàn bạo, và sự vắng bóng của nhân quyền,” ông tuyên bố. "Nếu chúng ta thua cuộc chiến này... hậu quả sẽ không chỉ ảnh hưởng đến thế hệ của chúng ta mà còn cả các thế hệ tương lai ở Ba Lan, ở châu Âu, ở Mỹ, ở khắp mọi nơi. Đừng ảo tưởng,” Thủ tướng Ba Lan, người đã có lập trường ngày càng cứng rắn về cuộc xung đột ở Ukraine kể từ khi trở lại nắm quyền vào cuối năm 2023, cảnh báo. Trong một bài phát biểu tại Đại hội đồng Liên Hợp Quốc tuần trước, Ngoại trưởng Nga Sergey Lavrov nói, “các mối đe dọa sử dụng vũ lực chống lại Nga ngày càng thường xuyên hơn, do những cáo buộc vô căn cứ rằng Nga đang lên kế hoạch tấn công NATO và Liên minh châu Âu.” Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin “đã nhiều lần bác bỏ những sự khiêu khích như vậy. Nga chưa từng và không có bất kỳ ý định nào như vậy. Tuy nhiên, bất kỳ hành động gây hấn nào chống lại đất nước tôi sẽ nhận được phản ứng dứt khoát,” ông nói. Lavrov nói thêm rằng Moscow đã “kêu gọi các thủ đô NATO... đồng ý về các đảm bảo an ninh ràng buộc về mặt pháp lý,” bao gồm cả những cam kết đã đưa ra trước khi cuộc xung đột ở Ukraine leo thang vào tháng 2 năm 2022, nhưng các đề xuất của họ “tiếp tục bị phớt lờ.”Bài viết được cung cấp bởi nhà cung cấp nội dung bên thứ ba.

GEM: Building a Closed-Loop New Energy Circular Economy and Embarking on a New Chapter of Global Growth with its Listing in Hong Kong
HONG KONG, Sep 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Driven by the “Dual Carbon” strategy, the new energy industry is experiencing rapid growth, with demand for critical new energy metal such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt continuing to surge. However, the exploitation of upstream mineral resource is constrained by environmental concerns, rising costs, and international geopolitical risks, leading to emerging resource bottlenecks. At the same time, as the warranty periods for power batteries gradually expire, a wave of retired batteries is accelerating. Waste-battery recycling, critical metal regeneration, and battery material remanufacturing are becoming emerging growth drivers across the industry chain.Having cultivated expertise in this field for many years, GEM Co., Ltd. (“GEM”, 002340.SZ) has been consistently expanding its presence in the circular economy. The Company has established an integrated circular economy operation model that covers three key businesses: critical metal resources, lithium-ion battery and end-of-life vehicle recycling, and new energy materials. In several niche material markets, GEM ranks among the global leaders. Recently, the Company submitted a listing application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, aiming to achieve dual listing on both A and H shares.Three Key Businesses Form a Closed-loop Circular System, with Technology Enabling “Waste-to-Value”GEM’s uniqueness lies in its full-chain closed-loop model built around the concept of a circular economy: “resource recovery — material remanufacturing — product application”. By organically integrating three key business modules of critical metal resources recycling, power batteries and end-of-life vehicles recycling, and new energy materials, the Company not only achieves efficient resource utilization but also significantly enhances the added value of products.In terms of resource recovery, GEM leverages a global recycling network to carry out large-scale collection and dismantling of various resources, including waste-battery, end-of-life vehicles, and electronic waste. To date, the Company has formed partnerships with over 1,000 automotive companies and battery manufacturers worldwide, establishing a stable raw material recycling network and product sales channels. This not only ensures a steady supply of “Urban Mining” resources such as retired batteries and end-of-life vehicles, but also opens up vast market opportunities for new energy materials, positioning the Company as a central hub in the industry chain with risk-resilience significantly stronger than its peers.In terms of material regeneration, GEM utilizes advanced processes to transform recycled resources into high-purity, high value-added intermediate products and new energy materials. As one of the early adopters of hydrometallurgical technology in the industry, the Company utilized this advanced technology to smelt limonite nickel ore, which could hardly be smelted through traditional pyrometallurgy. The process also enables the efficient smelting of other metal resources associated with laterite nickel ore, enhancing overall economic value while achieving recovery rates of up to 99% for nickel, cobalt, and tungsten. In terms of lithium-ion battery and end-of-life vehicle recycling, GEM has established a dual-track processing model of “cascade utilization + material regeneration”, achieving a recovery rate of 96.5% for lithium metal, significantly exceeding the industry average of 90%. More importantly, through technological innovation, GEM further processes recycled resources into high value-added critical new energy materials such as ternary precursors, cathode materials, and cobalt tetroxide, supplying to global battery manufacturers and vehicle OEMs. This truly achieves a complete closed loop process from recycling to application.GEM’s three core businesses are mutually supportive and closely interconnected. The recycling of critical metals and power batteries jointly provides a stable metal supply for the production of new energy materials. Meanwhile, the materials business extends downstream, supplying to battery manufacturers and achieving value-added transformation. This turns green recycling into a profitable and sustainable industrial chain, creating a competitive barrier that is difficult for industry peers to replicate.Leading in Multiple Segments and Seizing the Future Opportunities with a Global ExpansionLeveraging its technological barriers and industrial synergy advantages, GEM has established a globally leading position across multiple segments, emerging as a frontrunner in the new energy materials and resource recycling sector. According to Frost & Sullivan, GEM ranked first in China in the recycling of nickel, cobalt, tungsten resources in terms of recycling volume in 2024, as well as retired lithium-ion battery recycling volume from third parties. In the field of new energy materials, GEM was the second largest supplier of ternary precursors globally in terms of shipment volume in 2024, capturing a market share of 19.7%. At the same time, with a market share of 37.4%, it became the world’s largest supplier of high-nickel ternary precursors, with the shipment volume of its 8-series and 9-series high-nickel ternary precursor materials ranking first globally. In the cobalt tetroxide sector, the Company ranked second worldwide with a market share of 20.2%.Looking ahead, GEM is embracing multiple market opportunities. The expansion of new energy applications is driving sustained growth in demand for critical new energy metals. According to Frost & Sullivan, from 2024 to 2030, nickel demand in China is expected to rise from 335.5 thousand tons in 2024 to 1,233.7 thousand tons in 2030, with the proportion of recycled nickel increasing from 17.2% to 31.1%; Demand for cobalt and tungsten in China will also grow in tandem, while the proportion of recycled cobalt and recycled tungsten will further increase. In addition, under the wave of retired power batteries, it is expected that by 2030, around 15% of the nickel, cobalt, and lithium required for new power batteries will come from recycling.In the field of new energy materials, driven by emerging sectors such as EVs, 3C electronics, low-altitude aircrafts, and humanoid robots, market demand is expected to grow rapidly. In terms of shipment volume, from 2024 to 2030, the CAGR of lithium-ion battery cathode materials is expected to reach 24.2% while that of ternary precursors is projected at 21.6%. Among them, the penetration rate of high-nickel ternary precursors is expected to rise from 35.2% to 70.0%, and the shipment volume of cobalt tetroxide is expected to record a CAGR of 12.7%.Confronting opportunities, GEM has formulated a clear development strategy. On the technology front, it plans to establish overseas R&D centers, increase R&D investment, and deepen the deployment of cutting-edge technologies in the field of new energy materials. On the capacity front, it will expand and upgrade existing production capacity, advance the expansion of its Indonesian base, and strengthen the “nickel resources — precursors — cathode materials” integrated nickel industrial chain. On the globalization front, it intends to set up marketing centers in Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia, enhance customer collaboration, and further expand its global business footprint.GEM’s proposed listing in Hong Kong will provide GEM with broader access to capital and international markets, injecting stronger momentum into its dual growth engines of circular economy and new energy materials. Backed by robust technological barriers, a mature closed-loop model, and an expanding global footprint, the Company is well-positioned to maintain its leading edge in the circular economy sector and unlock greater growth flexibility.
