Star Metro - Rektron Group Inc. Expands Market Reach with Innovative Clean Energy Division 'Rektron Nova'

Rektron Nova will serve as the Company's dedicated platform for renewables, green fuels, bio-assets and critical energy transition metals, complementing existing operations in global energy and metal trading through Rektron's wholly owned subsidiaries.

"Rektron Nova is our commitment to a low-carbon future," said Atanas Kolarov, Chief Executive Officer of Rektron. "It formalizes the work we've already started in clean fuels and EV supply chain metals and positions us to scale new sustainable lines of business in tandem with global decarbonization efforts. By embracing these emerging market opportunities, we aim to unlock next generation solutions that not only enhance environmental value but also drive unprecedented growth through increased margins and a stronger bottom line."

Strategic Objectives of Rektron Nova

Rektron Nova is designed to be the Company's dedicated innovation and sustainability engine. It will serve as a platform to build new revenue streams aligned with the global shifts towards cleaner energy, electrification, and circular economic models. The division will initially focus on four high-growth verticals:

1. Green Fuels and Clean Commodities

Rektron Nova will target trading activities in next-generation low-carbon fuels including Euro VI-compliant diesel, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil often referred to as renewable diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, and renewable natural gas. These fuels are critical to meeting emission reduction targets across the transportation, industrial, and power generation sectors. By leveraging existing logistics infrastructure, Rektron aims to accelerate the adoption of clean fuels across its client base in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

2. Critical Minerals for Energy Transition

The division will oversee the sourcing and trading of metals vital to clean technology and electric vehicle ecosystems. These materials are essential for the manufacturing of batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines.

3. Bio-Assets and Waste-to-Energy

Recognizing the untapped value in biological waste streams, Rektron Nova will actively evaluate investment and partnership opportunities in bio-asset development, such as wood biomass, manure-to-RNG projects and agricultural waste valorization, which refers to the process of converting agricultural byproducts and waste materials into energy resources. These solutions offer dual benefits: reducing methane emissions while generating renewable energy.

4. Circular Economy and Recycling

Building Rektron's growing presence in recycled metals, Rektron Nova will lead the integration of circular economy principles into the Company's broader value chain. This includes scaling, sourcing, and trade of recycled metals, as well as exploring opportunities of investment in infrastructure to enhance reprocessing efficiency and end-market access. Rektron Nova's strategy supports both customer ESG targets and internal emissions reduction, while addressing global raw material shortages and supply chain resilience.

Market Opportunity

In a rapidly evolving global energy landscape, the inclusion of low-carbon and renewable solutions is driving unprecedented investment. BloombergNEF recorded global energy transition spending that exceeded $1.8 trillion USD in 2023 and is forecast to surpass $4.8 trillion USD per year by 2030.¹

Rektron is strategically positioning itself as a physical commodity enabler, and an infrastructure company to meet the rising demand for critical resources. By aligning with regulatory tailwinds and surging global appetite for sustainability, the Company aims to capture and cement itself in the transformative market while delivering long-term value to all stakeholders.
