Strengthened balance sheet and advancements in engineering, technology solutions and vertically integrated business in 1Q 2026 support commercial ready development of first waste-to-value renewable fuels platform
HOUSTON, TX, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc. (NYSE American: AGIG) (“Abundia” or the “Company”), a low-carbon energy solutions company focused on converting biomass and plastics waste into high-value low-carbon fuels, provides a business update highlighting continued execution across its engineering, technology integration, financing and commercialization initiatives during the first quarter of 2026.
“We are encouraged by the meaningful progress executing against our 2026 commercial strategy to support long-term scalable growth over the first quarter of 2026,” said Ed Gillespie, Abundia Chief Executive Officer. “Our strategy is focused on integrating commercially validated technologies and engaging expert engineers and consultants in various fields with relevant capabilities to support Abundia’s waste-to-value platform, designed to produce “Drop in” renewable fuels and chemicals.”
“Importantly, this progress reflects the strength of our entire leadership team’s abilities to execute on our large-scale project development strategies. Further, our industry recognized engineering and energy transition solutions bring immediate value by de-risking key elements of the project development cycle. With this de-risking strategy at the forefront, we are firmly advancing toward final investment decision on our first commercial plastics to renewable commodities facility, while carefully managing our resources to drive shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Gillespie.
Key Business Developments
Burns & McDonnell Selected as Lead FEED Engineer
The appointment of lead engineering firm Burns & McDonnell to deliver the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) package also initiated Phase 2 of the commercial strategy for Abundia’s first waste-plastics-to-renewable chemicals and fuels division.
Burns & McDonnell’s FEED package drives the planned facility’s front-end process design developing a replicable, modular foundation with detailed design and construction phases across multi-project execution.
Topsoe Partnership Secures HydroFlex® Upgrading Technology
Abundia entered into a multi-facility licensing agreement with Topsoe to deploy its HydroFlex® technology as the upgrading process in its plastics-to-renewable fuels technology stack.
Importantly, the Company’s differentiated and de-risked renewable technology strategy combines two commercially operational and validated solutions. The front-end conversion technology is supplied through a licensed, strategic relationship with Alterra Energy while the licensed HydroFlex® technology will be integrated as the back-end upgrading process designed to maximize yield consistency and commercial-grade renewable fuel quality.
Reinforcing the Company’s competitive production platform, this agreement also establishes a regionally exclusive framework surrounding deployment of Topsoe’s upgrading technology in combination with Alterra’s conversion process within designated operating markets.
Completed Acquisition of RPD Technologies
Abundia completed the strategic acquisition of RPD Technologies (“RPD”), a scale-up project development firm specializing in plant design, engineering, construction, operations and consulting services across refining and renewable markets.
This tuck-in acquisition expands Abundia’s vertically integrated business model by bringing internal scale with project development expertise while integrating RPD’s established customer base, operational capabilities and an additional revenue-generating business vertical.
The Company believes the acquisition strengthens its competitive positioning by further penetrating the waste-to-value supply chain and enhancing Abundia’s ability to execute and scale future projects.

Abundia strengthened its capital position by completing a registered direct financing that generated gross proceeds of approximately
Importantly, this capital raise is expected to support the execution of Abundia’s targeted milestones in the commercial execution strategy through Final Investment Decision (FID) and long-term platform scalability.
Commercialization Strategy
Abundia’s leadership team was assembled based on proven experience and meaningful resource capabilities to support the execution and development of the Company’s first commercial renewable fuels platform. This team’s combined expertise spans commercialization, project development, capital markets and energy transition infrastructure.
