TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CF Energy Corp. (TSX-V: CFY) (“CF Energy” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), a leading clean energy service provider in the People’s Republic of China (the ”PRC” or “China”) wishes to provide an update on the following:
MEISHAN PROJECT RECEIVES NATURAL GAS QUOTA
In the fourth quarter of 2024, CF Energy received formal letter of approval from the PetroChina Company Limited’s Southwest Oil & Gasfield Subsidiary (“PetroChina”) to receive a gas consumption quota of 20 million cubic meters per year for its Meishan project in the Meishan City, Sichuan Province, the PRC. The approval includes permission to connect the Company’s Meishan project natural gas pipeline with the pipeline of PetroChina.
Going forward, the pipeline connection will signify a significant reduction in cost to the Group for generating steam to serve the hub for manufacturers of drugs, supplements, medical equipment and other medical-related supplies in the Meishan New Economic Development Zone.
DAZE NATURAL GAS PIPELINE PROJECT UPDATE
The Company’s Daze Project is in the process of receiving necessary regulatory approval from local authorities regarding distribution station and routing planning site with many other key regulatory approvals having already been obtained.
APPOINTMENT OF NEW SECRETARY OF THE BOARD
Chair Lin of the Company has appointed Zhaoyu Wang (“Charles”) as the new Secretary of the Board in her stead. Charles has been with CF Energy for nine years involved in both the secretarial work of the board and the public company in Toronto as well as the various Company projects in China. Charles received his Bachelor’s in Business Administration from the Ivey Business School of Western University in Canada and his Master’s in Business Administration from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.
About Meishan Project
The Meishan Project is in the Meishan New Economic Development Zone, an economic zone situated next to central urban area of Meishan City, Sichuan province, the PRC, with a planned development area of 50.5 square kilometers. The Meishan New Economic Development Zone will be a hub for manufacturers of drugs, supplements, medical equipment, and other medical related supplies. The year-round constant demand of steam necessary to produce drugs makes the Meishan New Economic Development Zone an ideal platform for integrated district energy distribution.
About Daze Project
CF Energy signed a co-operative agreement with the State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC), one of the five major electricity generation companies in China, to construct a 7km natural gas pipeline to supply natural gas to its Xinhui Daze Gas Thermal Power Project (hereinafter referred to as "the Daze Project").
The Daze Project is listed as one of the key natural gas cogeneration projects in the "14th Five Year Plan" for energy development in Jiangmen City and the "Action Plan for Building a New Power System to Promote High quality Development of Electric Power in Guangdong Province". The project plans to construct 2 × 50MW (F-class) gas steam combined cycle cogeneration units, with an expected annual power generation of 584 million kilowatt hours, an annual heating capacity of 108.4 × 104GJ, and an annual consumption of about 150 million Nm3 of natural gas.
The natural gas for the project is planned to be connected from the Gonghe Valve Station, approximately 7.0km northeast of the plant site. CF Energy will invest in the construction of direct supply pipeline supporting facilities, and the natural gas pipeline from the Gonghe Valve Station to the Daze Thermal Power Plant.
