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."
