Third Term Contract Renewal With Shell

Graphene NanoChem (AIM: GRPH), the performance nanochemicals and advanced materials company, is pleased to announce that Platinum NanoChem Sdn Bhd, its wholly-owned subsidiary, has been awarded a contract renewal by Shell Malaysia for the supply of up to 5 million litres per month of PlatAmber, the Group's biofuel product derived from palm waste for the Malaysian market.

The contract with Shell Malaysia, renewed for the third term, is for a further period of one year, commencing 1 November 2014. PlatAmber is used as an additive into road-grade diesel to assist with compliance with the Malaysian Government's B5 mandate, which requires a mixture of 5% biofuel in diesel products. The Malaysian Government plans to increase this to a B7 mandate, increasing the threshold to 7%, in 2015, following which the Group expects the market for the product to increase from 500,000 tonnes to 700,000 tonnes per annum.

Jespal Deol, Chief Executive Officer of Graphene NanoChem, commented: "We are pleased to announce this latest contract renewal with Shell Malaysia, and look forward to supporting our long term partner in the fulfillment of its obligations under the mandate."
