Such gravity energy storage technology [Energy&nbsp;Vault GESS]&nbsp;technology pioneered by Energy Vault&nbsp;is currently under construction by&nbsp;China&nbsp;Tianying&nbsp;under license&nbsp;at their&nbsp;renewable&nbsp;facility in Rudong, China. This first of its kind&nbsp;global&nbsp;deployment of the&nbsp;EVx \u201cNext&nbsp;Generation\u201d gravityelectrical energy storage technology&nbsp;and the 24\/7 implementation of construction and drive towards first&nbsp;half&nbsp;2023 commissioning&nbsp;has given Chinese policy makers a high level of confidence that the representations made&nbsp;by both partners are accurate and&nbsp;have accepted its results in&nbsp;shaping \u201ca&nbsp;new&nbsp;national&nbsp;gravity storage&nbsp;standard. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric Fang, Atlas Renewables Co-Founder and CEO describes the importance in this way, \u201cNew Energy Technology that is cutting edge,&nbsp;like&nbsp;EVx,&nbsp;has to clear a high initial hurdle before it is allowed to be adopted: both for credibility and a&nbsp;seal of approval, or \u201cgreen&nbsp;light\u201d for&nbsp;the&nbsp;all-important&nbsp;financing for deployment phase. High level sectoral policy approval certifies that it blends into the existing China framework, is necessary and serves a valuable purpose.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEO Fang continued,&nbsp;\u201cIn China established policies are published and engineering conforms to the standard.&nbsp;New Technology which has the possibility of widespread adoption must achieve the standards process first.\u201d In the case of Energy&nbsp;Vault,&nbsp;the policy process was critical: Atlas Renewable in concert with the Washington, DC based National Center for Sustainable Development (NCSD) and the Energy Investment Professional Committee (EIPC) of the Investment Association of China collaborated to help promote the technology\u2019s understanding and answer the questions asked by local, municipal and provincial governments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neil Bush, Chairman of Atlas Renewable and Neil Bush Global Advisers further emphasized, \u201cEnergy Vault\u2019s&nbsp;value proposition is a foundational element of future Chinese growth and helping to lift hundreds of millions of Chinese to share the vision of a modestly prosperous future. Solving the practical problems of energy storage is a worthy goal and the&nbsp;recognition of it is acknowledged by this new policy doctrine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications&nbsp;of the Energy Vault technology will require&nbsp;strict examinations and reviews by the collective energy, policy, technology expert groups,&nbsp;answering&nbsp;agencies\u2019&nbsp;questions for its technical&nbsp;and applicable&nbsp;components,&nbsp;the&nbsp;implications for the broader renewables market both generation and transmission within China and the&nbsp;thresholds&nbsp;for&nbsp;interaction with the local, provincial and national grids.&nbsp;The Chinese government approval of Gravity Energy Storage&nbsp;for the Chinese market is the underpinning&nbsp;this&nbsp;effort: and Atlas Renewable and its cooperation partners in the US, Europe and China undertook the policy effort&nbsp;first, 18 months before this announcement&nbsp;to begin building the policy foundation well before the Rudong project was identified and undertaken. Experience based planning for policy considerations is not the norm in the US but is critical in China to the&nbsp;long-term&nbsp;success and value proposition of Energy Vault.\u201cThis is a perfect example of integrated policy, technology, investment and implementation approach,\u201d&nbsp;Mr. Fang added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChinese governmental approval for&nbsp;gravity energy storage&nbsp;deployment&nbsp;in China is another key milestone&nbsp;for our&nbsp;innovative&nbsp;technology, reflecting&nbsp;significant&nbsp;construction&nbsp;progress for&nbsp;our first 100 MWh EVx system in Rudong,\u201d said Robert Piconi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Energy Vault. &nbsp;\u201cChina\u2019s support at the national policy level will facilitate broader adoption of&nbsp;EVx to meet strong demand for our technology to enable China\u2019s decarbonization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Piconi concluded,&nbsp;\u201cChina\u2019s welcome to us through the outstanding work of China Tianying and&nbsp;EIPC,&nbsp;whose cooperation and willingness to collaborate,&nbsp;has led to a strong&nbsp;partnershipbetween our organizations.&nbsp;We are looking forward to completion of the Rudong&nbsp;EVx project as the first step to a bright future for&nbsp;Energy Vault&nbsp;in China.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Atlas Renewable LLC, Houston, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlas Renewable LLC is structured as an integral part of the project development and execution process led by CNTY in China.
