CN Energy Group. Inc Upgrades Its 6G Gasification Reactors CN Energy Group. Inc. announced that its 6th-generation gasification reactors have been formally and smoothly put into full operation at its Tahe Factory, after completing all acceptance checks on design requirements and passing all tests on safety, efficiency and reliability. This is a crucial achievement of CNEY's own R&D team that started in May 2020 to revamp and optimize its 5th-generation gasification reactors. The first prototype of FLS-VI was built and installed in September 2021. This was followed by continuous on-site efforts on debugging shortcomings and enhancing performance, which lasted for 14 months of trial operations. In 2023, applications of FLS-VI gasification reactors are expected to be replicated on a large scale within CNEY's production lines. Through such technological innovations and engineering progressions, CNEY has attained multifaceted improvements and consequently reinforced its competitive strength in the market. First, the daily outputs of carbonized materials per gasification reactor have increased by five times, from 4 tons for FLS-V to 20 tons for FLS-VI. Second, reactor automation has been ameliorated and streamlined so that the total number of workers needed to produce the same targeted level of outputs can be reduced by nearly two-thirds. Third, the entire production process has become more resource-conserving and environmentally friendly. Electricity and water inputs needed to produce each ton of activated carbon have been reduced by 1.5% and by 3%. Finally, the overall conversion rate from feedstocks to final products has also been boosted, with tangible quality enrichments. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Nov 21

CN Energy Group. Inc.'s Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, Zhejiang CN Energy New Material Co., Ltd. Obtains the Permit to Directly Sell to Drinkable Water Markets CN Energy Group. Inc. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zhejiang CN Energy New Material Co. Ltd. has recently been awarded an official permit to sell its wood-based activated carbon products directly to domestic drinking water markets, after satisfying all increasingly more stringent requirements on safety and environmental protection. This is a significant milestone for CNEY to expand its business networks, reinforce its competitive strength and enhance its revenue sources. With such a permit, CNEY can now provide high-quality customized products and services under its own brand names to the vast majority of end-users, with remarkable improvements in reliability, sustainability and responsiveness, while avoiding "deadweight losses" caused by multilevel intermediaries. This supply-chain streamlining will not only generate tangible economic and ecologic benefits for general societies but will also deliver more decent returns to its shareholders. According to the World Bank, accessing to sufficient and safe drinking water is a fundamental social infrastructure and thus requires large-scale investments over decades to secure basic public health and sanitation conditions, especially in populous countries like China and during challenging times of fighting against pandemics and climate change. With rapid urbanization and income growth, the demand for treated drinking water in China has already been gigantic (valued at around USD 70 billion currently per year) and will continue to grow at a fast pace in the foreseeable future. CNEY's activated carbon products, completely made from forest wastes and agricultural residues, can be effectively utilized in a wide spectrum of industrial and residential applications, ranging from soil improvement, sewage treatment, water purification, odor absorption to impurity removal. They are indispensable in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It is evident that, with its outstanding R&D capabilities and newly renovated manufacturing facilities, CNEY stands strategically ready to capture these enormous market opportunities in both urban and rural areas and to launch global sales campaigns.
