We are doing our best to support them in finding new and safe homes with us.” Buch continued to say: “During times of change, it’s important to be flexible, and our business model puts us in a good position to respond to changing circumstances.

Siemens - Siemens patented Zero-Emission, Battery electric Haul Truck solution combines a proven off-board energy source (trolley substation and overhead catenary) with on-board energy storage (LTO batteries) capable of dynamic 6C and >400kWh in-cycle charging while simultaneously providing increased power to the wheels to decrease overall cycle time and increase productivity. 3ME Technology - is a battery and electric vehicle technology company that develops and manufactures safe, scalable, remotely monitored, and reliable battery systems to power heavy-duty mining equipment. 3ME Technology is providing the Charge On Innovation Challenge with a purpose-refined version of its novel Bladevolt® Battery System to fit the requirements of haul truck operations. The haul truck-specific Bladevolt® XL system will be scalable to fit varied truck sizes, composed of the optimum chemistry, cost-effective and compliant with the proposed charging infrastructure, as well as enabled to capture and analyse critical data that will help improve operations going forward. Next steps Winners are collaborating with interested mining companies, OEMs and investors to accelerate the technology development to support the future roll-out of zero-emissions fleets. BHP’s Group Procurement Officer, James Agar, said, “The truly global nature of the final eight technology innovators selected, from across industries, demonstrates the level of interest that exists to work closely with the mining industry in seeking solutions to decarbonise mining fleets. The Charge On Innovation Challenge is a great example of the current collaborative work being done to reimagine traditional models and relationships, which will enable innovative solutions to be designed, tested and implemented, fast-tracking the adoption of new technology.” Rio Tinto Chief Technical Officer Mark Davies said, “With this group of innovators, we’re taking another step in the right direction towards changing the way haul truck systems operate in the mining sector. Through collaborations like this, where we all come together to create change, we can drive long-term benefits for our industry and the environment. “We know we have a role to play in helping solve the global climate challenge. We’re looking at how we can make changes across our business to reduce our carbon emissions by 50 per cent by 2030. Initiatives like the Charge On Innovation Challenge can help us reach our targets.” Vale´s CEO, Eduardo Bartolomeo said, “It is with great pride that we announce the winners of this Challenge who have presented solutions that promise to disrupt the sector. The decarbonisation challenge is so extensive that the mining industry cannot tackle it alone, but with partnerships such as these, we hope to reach this goal, for ourselves, for our communities and for our planet.” GHD, one of the world’s leading professional services companies, has facilitated the Charge On Innovation Challenge, and is now leading the process of establishing consortia to drive the testing of preferred technologies. GHD's role builds on the significant work of Austmine to launch the challenge, which attracted a number of supporting organisations, OEMs and investors. GHD’s CEO, Ashley Wright, said, “We are proud to help the global mining industry innovate to reduce emissions. Our role with Charge On Innovation Challenge is aligned with our Future Energy ambitions of helping clients and communities move to a future of reliable, affordable and secure low-carbon energy, sooner.

April 25, 2022. SINGAPORE This partnership between the two Singapore firms aims to help accelerate corporates’ journey to carbon neutrality. OCBC Bank and MetaVerse Green Exchange (MVGX), a digital green exchange licensed and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, have announced a strategic partnership to develop new green financing solutions aimed at accelerating large corporates’ journey to carbon neutrality. Scheduled to be launched later this year, these financing solutions will include tokenised carbon credits in the form of MVGX’s Carbon Neutrality Tokens (CNT™s), for large corporates to offset their carbon emissions, simplifying their path to carbon neutrality. An independent party will verify the expected carbon emissions from projects utilising these financing solutions, to calculate the corresponding carbon credits required. MVGX’s CNT™s are supported by MVGX’s proprietary Non-Fungible Digital Twin (NFDT™) distributed ledger technology that provides corporates a verifiable, immutable and constantly updated record of the carbon performance of the climate-action projects that they have invested in through these digital carbon credits. The partnership comes at an opportune time when carbon credits are becoming an increasingly popular solution for corporates after they have explored other decarbonisation options to achieve carbon neutrality. This is particularly important for companies in hard-to-abate industries such as shipping, steel and energy. By purchasing carbon credits, corporates are also investing in green projects such as reforestation and renewable energy that contribute to future decarbonisation. The Institute of International Finance’s Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets estimates that the global demand for carbon credits could increase fifteen-fold by 2030. The ability to properly account for and track carbon credits under existing systems has resulted in challenges which have prevented uptake and impact at scale, such as double counting and the difficulties involved with cross-border carbon trading. The CNT™s provided in the new green financing solutions can mitigate these challenges by providing businesses with a reliable and accurate view of their emissions and offsets. “We hope to accelerate these efforts by providing financing solutions with tokenised carbon credits, and expand the reach of private-sector finance in areas and sectors most crucial in mitigating climate change.” Elaine Lam Ms Elaine Lam, Head, Global Corporate Banking, OCBC Bank, said: “With the recently released report by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there will be increased urgency in corporates' transition to a low carbon future by cutting down greenhouse gas emissions. We hope to accelerate these efforts by providing financing solutions with tokenised carbon credits, and expand the reach of private-sector finance in areas and sectors most crucial in mitigating climate change.” This partnership underscores the Bank’s commitment to combating climate change and supporting customers in their journey to carbon neutrality, by seizing growth opportunities in green and sustainable financing. By end-2021, the Bank had extended over $34 billion in sustainable financing to customers, surpassing its original target of S$25 billion by 2025 four years ahead of schedule. A new target of S$50 billion in sustainable financing commitments by 2050 has been established. Commenting on the company’s landmark partnership, MVGX Executive Chairman and Co-Founder Bo Bai, said: “Despite the best intentions, governments and businesses around the world have come to realise the limitations of the current systems for tracking and neutralising carbon emissions. Thankfully, there is now a greater urgency to embrace new solutions that leverage technology to promote carbon reduction and finance green initiatives. By joining forces with Southeast Asia’s second-largest bank, we have the opportunity to advance our sustainability ambitions and fast-track our nation’s goal of achieving Singapore’s 2030 Green Plan. We are excited to be building the bridge between green investments in traditional finance and the global carbon trading markets of the future through green digital assets.” Last year, MVGX launched its first batch of CNT™s ahead of COP26 in Glasgow. These asset-backed tokens were tied to carbon credits generated by a wind project in Zhangjiakou, China that was verified and registered with China’s National Carbon Registry. The first tranche of 5,000 carbon credits was sold to a Hong Kong-based private equity firm last year, lowering barriers to access ESG assets for retail and institutional investors in Asia Pacific. Pictured from left to right are: Mr Gabriel Wong, Co-Founder of MVGX; Dr Bo Bai, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of MVGX; Mr Lee Shyong, Managing Director, Partnership & Innovation of OCBC Bank; and Ms Elaine Lam, Head, Global Corporate Banking of OCBC Bank. This partnership between OCBC Bank and MVGX to develop new green financing solutions with tokenised carbon credits will help accelerate large corporates’ journey to carbon neutrality.
