Atlantic Power & Infrastructure Corp. (AP&I) Announces Postponement of British Fire Service Evaluation Trials for NGAG BIOTECH LTD Products
Atlantic Power & Infrastructure (OTC:AWSL) announced the postponement of British fire service evaluation trials for its subsidiary NGAG BIOTECH's fire remediation products. The trials were intended to showcase EMERALDGREEN™ and ASCOGEL™, plant-based technologies that claim to reduce water usage by up to 80% in firefighting operations.
The delay is necessary to complete regulatory approval processes. The company notes that the Environment Agency's June 2025 report excludes non-chemical fire retardants from its scope, potentially creating an opportunity for NGAG's eco-friendly solutions. During the postponement, the company plans to demonstrate ASCOGEL™-GRANULES' effectiveness in controlling oil and fuel fires over water.
Atlantic Power & Infrastructure (OTC:AWSL) ha annunciato il rinvio delle prove di valutazione presso il servizio antincendio britannico dei prodotti di bonifica incendi della sua controllata NGAG BIOTECH. Le prove avrebbero dovuto mettere in mostra EMERALDGREEN™ e ASCOGEL™, tecnologie a base vegetale che affermano di ridurre l'uso dell'acqua fino al 80% nelle operazioni di spegnimento.
Il ritardo è necessario per completare le procedure di approvazione regolamentare. L'azienda rileva che il rapporto dell'Environment Agency di giugno 2025 esclude dal suo ambito i ritardanti non chimici, il che potrebbe aprire un'opportunità per le soluzioni ecologiche di NGAG. Durante il periodo di sospensione, la società intende dimostrare l'efficacia di ASCOGEL™-GRANULES nel controllo di incendi di oli e carburanti su specchi d'acqua.
Atlantic Power & Infrastructure (OTC:AWSL) anunció el aplazamiento de los ensayos de evaluación del servicio de bomberos británico para los productos de remediación de incendios de su filial NGAG BIOTECH. Las pruebas tenían como objetivo mostrar EMERALDGREEN™ y ASCOGEL™, tecnologías de origen vegetal que aseguran reducir el uso de agua hasta en un 80% en operaciones de extinción.
El retraso es necesario para completar los trámites de aprobación regulatoria. La compañía señala que el informe de junio de 2025 de la Environment Agency excluye los retardantes no químicos de su alcance, lo que podría crear una oportunidad para las soluciones ecológicas de NGAG. Durante el aplazamiento, la empresa planea demostrar la eficacia de ASCOGEL™-GRANULES en el control de incendios de petróleo y combustibles sobre agua.
Atlantic Power & Infrastructure (OTC:AWSL)는 자회사 NGAG BIOTECH의 화재 복구 제품에 대한 영국 소방청 평가 시험을 연기한다고 발표했습니다. 해당 시험은 소방 활동에서 사용되는 물을 최대 80%까지 절감한다고 주장하는 식물성 기반 기술 EMERALDGREEN™ 및 ASCOGEL™을 선보일 예정이었습니다.
연기는 규제 승인 절차를 완료하기 위해 필요하다고 밝혔습니다. 회사는 2025년 6월 환경청(Environment Agency) 보고서가 비화학적 난연제를 범위에서 제외하고 있어 NGAG의 친환경 솔루션에 기회가 될 수 있다고 지적했습니다. 연기 기간 동안 회사는 물 위의 유류 및 연료 화재 제어에 대한 ASCOGEL™-GRANULES의 효과를 시연할 계획입니다.
Atlantic Power & Infrastructure (OTC:AWSL) a annoncé le report des essais d'évaluation par les services d'incendie britanniques des produits de remédiation incendie de sa filiale NGAG BIOTECH. Les essais devaient mettre en avant EMERALDGREEN™ et ASCOGEL™, des technologies d'origine végétale prétendant réduire la consommation d'eau jusqu'à 80% lors des opérations de lutte contre les incendies.
Le retard est nécessaire pour finaliser les procédures d'approbation réglementaire. La société souligne que le rapport de la Environment Agency de juin 2025 exclut les retardateurs non chimiques de son champ d'application, ce qui pourrait constituer une opportunité pour les solutions écologiques de NGAG. Pendant la période de report, la société prévoit de démontrer l'efficacité des ASCOGEL™-GRANULES pour le contrôle d'incendies d'hydrocarbures et de carburants sur l'eau.
Atlantic Power & Infrastructure (OTC:AWSL) gab die Verschiebung der Bewertungsversuche durch den britischen Feuerwehrdienst für die Brandsanierungsprodukte seiner Tochtergesellschaft NGAG BIOTECH bekannt. Die Versuche sollten EMERALDGREEN™ und ASCOGEL™ vorstellen, pflanzenbasierte Technologien, die laut Angaben den Wasserverbrauch bei Löschmaßnahmen um bis zu 80% reduzieren können.
Die Verzögerung ist erforderlich, um die behördlichen Zulassungsverfahren abzuschließen. Das Unternehmen weist darauf hin, dass der Bericht der Environment Agency vom Juni 2025 nicht-chemische Flammschutzmittel außer Betracht lässt, was eine Chance für NGAGs umweltfreundliche Lösungen schaffen könnte. Während der Verschiebung plant das Unternehmen, die Wirksamkeit von ASCOGEL™-GRANULES bei der Kontrolle von Öl- und Brennstoffbränden auf Wasser zu demonstrieren.
- Technology claims to reduce water usage by up to 80% in firefighting operations
- Opportunity to demonstrate additional ASCOGEL™-GRANULES capability for marine fire protection
- Environment Agency's scope exclusion may provide pathway for eco-friendly solutions approval
- Delay in planned British fire service evaluation trials
- Pending regulatory approvals creating timeline uncertainty
- Current exclusion from Environment Agency's fire retardant scope
TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 5, 2025 / Atlantic Power & Infrastructure Corp. (OTC PINK:AWSL) announces the postponement of the full-scale evaluation trials by the British fire service originally scheduled for early September, to allow NGAG BIOTECH LTD- a wholly owned subsidiary of NGAG Inc. and AP&I- to complete the necessary regulatory approval processes for its proprietary plant-based fire remediation and extinguishment technologies, EMERALDGREEN™ and ASCOGEL™.
As previously outlined in AP&I's Vol. 1, Issue 7 Corporate Newsletter, the trials were designed to demonstrate that NGAG BIOTECH's unique solutions could reduce wildfire ignition risk and extinguish active fires using up to 80 percent less water. They also featured precision application techniques- drone swarms combined with targeted ground systems- to minimize wind drift and evaporation, which can account for 30 to 40 percent of water loss during traditional aerial firefighting.
In its June 2025 Flame Retardant Scoping Review- Chief Scientist's Group report, the Environment Agency expressly noted that "fire retardancy achieved by means other than the use of chemical fire retardants is outside the scope of the project. The project does not address fire retardants used to suppress forest, moorland, heathland, and grass field fires."
NGAG President Martin Driscoll commented, "We are hopeful that this caveat provides an opportunity for our eco-friendly, plant-based wildfire solutions to be added to the list of approved products."
CEO and Chairman Kevin Bagnall remarked, "We appreciate the British fire service's diligence in adhering to the proper approval frameworks. This pause ensures that when we proceed, the trials will meet the highest safety and efficacy standards, reinforcing confidence in these revolutionary firefighting solutions."
Martin Driscoll further added, "This postponement of NGAG BIOTECH's trials has provided an opportunity to also demonstrate the quelling ability on oil and fuel fires over water of ASCOGEL™-GRANULES. We believe this addition to our fire protection portfolio will be a major benefit to the marine industry."
Stephanie Williams, Officer of Corporate Governance and Environmental Affairs, stated, "AP&I is committed to maintaining transparency with our investors and stakeholders. We will continue to provide regular updates on the progress of NGAG BIOTECH's regulatory approvals and trial rescheduling as we advance these critical initiatives."
