Impact Fusion International Inc.: Louisiana State Legislature Unanimously Passes LA HCR-42 Focusing on Bagasse Utilization


NAPOLEONVILLE, LOUISIANA – Newsfile Corp. – 8 July 2024 – Impact Fusion International Inc. (OTC Pink: IFUS)

On May 28, 2024 bipartisan legislation passed both the Louisiana House with 99 Yeas and 0 Nays and the Louisiana Senate 31 Yeas and 0 Nays. LA HCR-42 (2024) places focus of bagasse utilization and was generated by testimony provided by Dr. Clyde (Pat) Bagley and Agricultural Commissioner, The Honorable Dr. Michael Strain.

IFUS met with Dr. Strain in September 2023 in his office in Baton Rouge, LA, whereby he provided us with valuable guidance as to the steps the Company should take in the validation of SGP+™ as a supplement, partial feed, and possibly hay replacement for beef and dairy cattle. These scientific steps are considered to be “Best Practices and Methods” in the beef and dairy industries.

Following Dr. Strain’s advice and working with the American Sugarcane League, local U.S.D.A. representatives, and the Farm Bureau Federation, IFUS contacted Dr. Clyde “Pat” Bagley, formerly Dean of Tennessee Tech School of Agriculture (now Director, SUAREC Beef Research Unit).

IFUS formed a partnership with the Southern University Agricultural and Research Center (SUAREC) also located in Baton Rouge, LA. Team members from SUAREC have made several visits to the IFUS Napoleonville, LA operations where they were awestruck by the immediate exothermic to endothermic transition of bagasse into SGP+™. As a result of this discovery, Dr. Bagley, the leader of the SUAREC Team, stated that if IFUS had discovered how to naturally breakdown lignin, this would be in fact the “Holy Grail” of energy and nutrition for beef and dairy cattle. Dr. Bagley further stated, “Lignin was thought to be indigestible. What we think is happening here is their special blend is making the lignin pull apart and become digestible, which we have never seen happen before.” In addition, Dr. Bagley is investigating as to whether SGP+™ is actually a hay replacement.

Furthermore, Dr. Mallory Tate, DVM and Director of Pre-Veterinary Studies at SUAREC, believes combining Chios Mastic Oil emulsified in native ionic minerals (much like Lochte’s Saline) could significantly improve bovine ration digestibility and absorbability.

Since then, a “Best Practices and Methods” statistically viable study after a visit to our facility on June 13, 2024, has been launched by Dr. Bagley and select members of his team with results pending. Dr. Bagley, visited an IFUS test ranching operation where he noted a significant improvement in herd score as well as an absence of flies. Additionally, cattle testing trials continue in any number of locations across the U.S. On June 13, 2024 we delivered approximately 5,000 pounds of SGP+ to the SUAREC testing ranch in Baton Rouge, LA.

Lastly, other Green-to-Gold studies for added utilization of SGP+™ are in discussion to include soil amendment and mulch, application in viticulture, natural insecticide or insect repellent, fly management on cattle, greenhouse gas reduction, and manure management.

Marc Walther, CEO of IFUS, said, “We greatly appreciate the efforts of Dr. Strain, the Louisiana Legislature, the entire SURAEC Team lead by Dr. Bagley, and all the IFUS team and customers who strive to advance the validation and commercialization of SGP+™ and other commercial uses for bagasse. The impact of bagasse utilization in transforming a waste product into useful cash products while reducing Carbon-Footprint is both promising and exciting for The State of Louisiana, The United States, and the world at large.”

Stories behind China’s latest mega cross-sea link: from blueprint to reality


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 July 2024 – The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, a mega cross-sea passage in south China that consists of one underwater tunnel, two bridges, and two artificial islands, opened to traffic on Sunday.

A view of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, a mega cross-sea passage in the Great Bay Area, June 27, 2024.
A view of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, a mega cross-sea passage in the Great Bay Area, June 27, 2024.

Seven years on, Chinese designers and constructors have overcome some of the world’s most pressing technical challenges, transforming the passage from a blueprint to a reality and setting 10 world records.

On Wednesday, China News Network interviewed some and discovered the stories behind the one of the most challenging cross-sea cluster projects in the world.

No room for error

This 24-kilometer passage, connecting Shenzhen in the east of the Pearl River estuary with Zhongshan in the west, has significantly slashed travel time between the two cities from about two hours to under 30 minutes.

It is equipped with numerous devices to ensure its safe and stable operation.

The construction personnel need to build a suspension bridge with a tower height of 270 meters and a main span of 1,666 meters approximately 15 kilometers off the coast. They also need to achieve millimeter-level precision in docking 23 immersed tubes, each weighing about 80,000 metric tons, on the seabed nearly 40 meters deep in the Lingdingyang sea. Additionally, within less than six months, they must create an island in the sea with an area equivalent to 19 international standard football fields.

Despite enormous challenges during the construction, these projects were all completed within the scheduled time.

Chen Weibin, General Manager of Technology Center and Project Manager of Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link Contract 9 for Precasting of Immersed Tunnel of CCCC Fourth Harbor Engineering Co., Ltd., introduced that “the construction process of the passage that adopted steel-shell immersed tube structures is irreversible and there was no room for error”.

Without any lesson to learn from, the project team adopted 3D printing technology to develop a customized intelligent pouring system, saving 2,500 hours of machinery time.

Independently-developed key technologies

In the construction, breakthroughs in domesticating key technologies have also been achieved.

Suo Xuhong, Director of the Measurement Management Center of CCCC – First Harbor Engineering Company’s Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link Project Management Department, introduced that over the past seven years, his team has generated over 170 patents, achieving eight major technological innovations and accomplishments, including rapid island formation and underwater push-type final joints.

For example, he elaborated that “facing complex geological and hydrological conditions, we independently developed the ‘underwater 3D printer’ — a gravel leveling ship. We have achieved full localization of both hardware and software, with leveling precision and efficiency meeting the requirements for various specifications of immersed tube tunnel bed construction. Additionally, we integrated the BeiDou system into immersed tube construction for the first time in the world, and developed an integral prefabricated underwater push-type final joint.”

Marine ecological environment outweighs cost

The construction of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link also attaches great importance to protecting the marine ecological environment. Ma Dingqiang, deputy general manager of the Dredging Branch Company under CCCC-Guangzhou DREDGING CO., LTD,and project manager of the dredging works for the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link Project (section 09), said that during the trench excavation process, a large amount of decomposed rocks were found to have distributed on the seabed.

Ma explained that according to traditional dredging methods, the most efficient, economical, and conventional approach would be blasting. However, the construction site is located in the Pearl River Estuary, which is on the migration route and an important habitat for the Chinese white dolphin.

After evaluation, a precise mechanical rock-breaking technique for deep water and deep trenches was developed. “This advancement came at a financial cost of about 30 million yuan ($4.13 million) and a time investment of more than one year. However, the impact on the habitat of the Chinese white dolphin was minimized,” Ma stated.

About 24 hours after the link opened to traffic, the volume on the mega cross-sea passage had reached 125,000 vehicles, according to the Guangdong Transportation Group.

This transformative program drives and measures the company’s progress toward global sustainability 2021–2025 targets contributing to six long-term commitments that cover all environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions. Among this progress, the company helped customers reduce their carbon emissions, with 553 million tonnes of CO2 saved and avoided since 2018. The company has also made significant progress in transforming its own supply chain. Carbon emissions from Schneider Electric’s top 1,000 suppliers fell by 27% since the beginning of the program — and 21% of the company’s most strategic supply chain partners have met Schneider Electric’s decent work standards.

“We’re incredibly honored to be recognized as the world’s most sustainable company”, said Peter Herweck, CEO of Schneider Electric. “This achievement is a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability, which is embedded in everything we do. We consider the environment, society, and good governance in all our decisions and daily operations. That’s why we’re pushing hard to make even more progress on our sustainability goals and ensure everyone contributes to creating a positive and enduring impact”.

Schneider Electric was also recently included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the 13th consecutive year, ranked #1 in its industry and secured its place in the Europe index. This achievement reflects its strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, with sustainability at the core of its strategy.
