About Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd.

Graphene is an Australian-based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured through in-house production process. Graphene uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (that is, methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high-quality, low-cost, scalable, tunable and low/no-contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.

The company's present focus is to derisk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, Graphene has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning coating (or energy saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications, including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product Graphene has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.

In the energy storage segment, Graphene and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian government to progress research and development and commercialization of graphene aluminum-ion batteries. Graphene has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.

Graphene's 4 critical business objectives are:

1. Produce graphene and improve/scale cell production processes
2. Build revenue from energy savings products;
3. Develop next-generation battery; and
4. Develop supply chain, partners and project execution capability.

We seek Safe Harbor.
