The LCA was conducted in accordance with the ISO 14067:2018 standard, ensuring a rigorous, transparent, and science-driven approach. Minviro, a globally recognized leader in environmental assessments for the battery and mining sectors, applied best practices to quantify Ionisil™'s full environmental impact, covering:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions,
• Scope 2: Indirect energy emissions, and
• Scope 3: Upstream emissions.

The findings provide a credible foundation for Ionic MT’s sustainability claims, meeting the high standards required by stakeholders across the energy transition landscape. This underscores Ionic MT’s leadership in delivering sustainable, high-performance battery solutions critical to the global energy transition. Notably, Ionisil™ shows a potential reduction of:

• Up to 90% in emissions compared to natural graphite,
• Up to 93% reduction compared to synthetic graphite.

Innovation and Sustainability in Ionisil™ Production

The favorably low carbon footprint of Ionisil™ is attributed to Ionic MT’s innovative production process, which prioritizes sustainability at every stage:

• Recycled Magnesium: Ionisil™ production relies on post-industrial recycled magnesium for metallothermic reduction, significantly lowering upstream emissions.
• Halloysite Feedstock: Derived from high-purity halloysite clay, Ionisil™ requires minimal beneficiation and avoids the use of explosives, chemicals, or water during extraction.
• Energy Optimization: Ionic MT employs efficient energy sourcing, including renewable power, to further minimize emissions.
• Byproduct Recovery: The production process recovers alumina from halloysite and recycled magnesium reductant, transforming them into value-added products for reintegration into production or other industrial applications.

“The LCA results demonstrate that Ionisil™ is not only a high-performance material but also a material designed with sustainability at the forefront,” said Andre Zeitoun, Founder & CEO of Ionic Mineral Technologies. “As the battery industry strives to reduce carbon emissions across the value chain, Ionisil™ provides a clear path toward achieving net-zero goals without compromising performance.”

A Game-Changer for the Battery and EV Industries

Battery manufacturers, automotive OEMs, and energy storage providers face increasing pressure to lower the environmental footprint of their supply chains. Ionisil™ delivers a clear competitive advantage by offering:

• Drop-In Compatibility: Designed as a drop-in replacement for traditional graphite anodes, Ionisil™ requires no changes to existing battery manufacturing processes.
• Scalable Sustainability: With access to a secure, high-quality feedstock and a scalable production process, Ionic MT is poised to meet the growing demand for sustainable battery materials.
