Encore Technologies Expands Partnership with Greenfoot

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Encore Technologies Inc. (“Encore” or the “Company”) (CSE: ENCR) is pleased to announce that it is expanding its existing partnership with Greenfoot Energy Solutions (“Greenfoot”) to advance commercial discussions focused on integrating Encore’s software platform with HYGN hydrogen retrofit systems across a broader range of applications.

The expanded collaboration will focus on the development of Encore’s intelligent infrastructure platform to support the measurement, monitoring and verification of fuel savings and associated emissions reductions generated through the deployment of HYGN systems, in non-vehicular applications, including distributed power generation, mining operations, and other industrial use cases.

HYGN systems, which are installed by Greenfoot in Atlantic Canada, are designed to enhance combustion efficiency in diesel and gasoline engines through on-demand hydrogen generation. Independent testing has demonstrated meaningful fuel savings and emissions reductions across a range of equipment types. By extending its software capabilities to these applications, Encore aims to provide customers with validated data insights and potential pathways to monetize efficiency gains.

As part of this next phase, Encore and Greenfoot will also evaluate commercial structures for the licensing of Encore’s software platform across HYGN deployments, including applications beyond traditional fleet vehicles.

Key Areas of Focus:

• Expansion of the Encore platform to enable HYGN technology across industrial, oil and gas, mining, and stationary power applications
• Development of methodologies to quantify fuel savings and operational efficiency improvements
• Evaluation of frameworks for verification and potential credit generation tied to measured performance
• Structuring of commercial licensing arrangements across HYGN installations

“This is a natural extension of our relationship with Greenfoot and an initiation of our relationship with HYGN. The ability to bring high-quality data and verification to real-world fuel savings across industrial environments represents a meaningful opportunity for all three companies and their customers.” Stephen Kukucha, CEO, Encore Technologies Inc.

“HYGN is already delivering measurable efficiency gains in the field. Working with Encore allows us to further quantify and communicate that value, particularly as we expand into new applications beyond traditional fleet vehicles.” Joe Godbout, CEO, Greenfoot Energy Solutions

The parties are currently engaged in commercial discussions and intend to work toward formal agreements governing software development, deployment, and licensing.
