Vancouver, BC, May 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Gold Basin Resources Corporation ("Gold Basin" or the "Company") (TSX.V:GXX) alerts the market that the purported joint venture between Gold Basin and Helix Resources Limited ("Helix") (HLX) (the "Invalid Helix Joint Venture") announced by Helix in its ASX Announcement on April 29, 2026 (the "Helix Announcement") is not valid and has no standing. Accordingly, it is the Company's opinion that Helix has no interest or rights in the Gold Basin Property.The Invalid Helix Joint Venture was approved and signed by Gold Basin's prior management contrary to a court order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued by Justice Baker on February 2, 2026, restraining Gold Basin from selling, transferring, disposing of, leasing, or encumbering any property of Gold Basin. Furthermore, the Invalid Helix Joint Venture did not receive the required approval of the TSXV and the Company is of the view that the Invalid Helix Joint Venture did not disclose the required Canadian related party transaction disclosures including Kevin Lynn being a director of Helix and a director of Gold Basin Resources (Australia) Pty Ltd., and constituted an improper defensive tactic in response to the announcement of an unsolicited offer by Mayfair Acquisition Corp. to acquire Gold Basin in contravention of National Policy 62-202 - Take-Over Bids - Defensive Tactics.Accordingly, for the above noted reasons, it is the Company's position that no valid joint venture has been formed between Helix and the Company.The Company provides further particulars below with respect to the Invalid Helix Joint Venture and the Helix Announcement which the Company believes shareholders should be made aware of in considering the propriety of the Invalid Helix Joint Venture.Kevin Lynn, a director of Helix was also a director and secretary of Gold Basin Resources (Australia) Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gold Basin, this was not publicly disclosed by Gold Basin to the market.The purported "Initial Binding Letter JV offer" dated November 12th, 2024 and issued by Helix was on Helix letterhead and was signed by Michael Povey as Chair of Helix. The agreement is dated 52 days before Mr. Povey became a director of Helix on January 3, 2025, and 18 days after Mr. Povey resigned from the board of Gold Basin, and while he was still an advisor to Gold Basin. Mr. Povey falsely claimed to be the Chair of Helix in the November 12th, 2024, document.On March 27, 2025, Helix Resources announced a deal to purchase the White Hills project from companies owned by Charles Straw (Gold Basin's CEO at the time) and Gold Basin's former Consulting Geologist and Project Manager Calvin Heron, a deal which granted the vendors cash consideration and a right to become a material shareholder in Helix Resources.Mr. Straw was appointed as President of Gold Basin on March 19, 2021. It is not clear when Mr. Straw acquired the White Hills project, but Gold Basin referenced this project in a November 2022 press release as containing exploration targets of interest to Gold Basin. Mr. Straw acquired a State lease on a portion of the White Hills project in early 2023 referred to as "Section 2". This acquisition appears to have violated the non-competition and area of influence provisions in Mr. Straw's consulting agreement with Gold Basin and would therefore be in breach of his fiduciary duty to Gold Basin.A little over a month following the announcement of the transaction between Mr. Straw and Helix, Gold Basin issued a press release announcing that Helix, the very Company that Mr. Straw, Gold Basin's CEO had agreed to sell properties to, had purportedly entered into an earn in agreement with Gold Basin to acquire a 40% interest and a 1% net smelter royalty in the Gold Basin Project.Mr. Povey, a close business associate of Mr. Straw (Mr. Povey and Mr. Straw were recently subject to an action in the Supreme Court of Australia by the liquidator of Ochre Group) and a former CEO and director of Gold Basin, was an advisor to Gold Basin and was Chair of Helix at all material times with respect to the negotiation of the Invalid Helix Joint Venture, except for the November 12, 2024 agreement when Mr. Povey represented he was the Chair of Helix but was not.In the Helix Announcement, Helix states as of 30th April 2026 it has no disputes or litigation recorded against it. This statement is not factual. On October 28, 2025, Gold Basin shareholders filed a petition to set aside the Invalid Helix Joint Venture with Gold Basin in the Supreme Court of British Columbia naming Gold Basin and Helix as respondents. The petition outlines the undisclosed related party nature of the purported transaction, the absence of proper approvals, the unfair and unreasonable terms, an improper defensive tactic to a take over proposal, and other breaches of procedures and policies.The Company has reserved all of its rights against the former directors of the Company and has initiated the appropriate steps to file appropriate proceedings to recover from them, personally, any losses the Company alleges it has suffered, and may continue to suffer, as a result of their actions The Company's controlling shareholder, CANEX Metals Inc., has advised that it intends to seek contempt orders against each of the former directors of the Company personally for any breach of the restraining orders issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia preventing former directors from impairing the value of Gold Basin or its Arizona property.About Gold Basin Resources CorporationGold Basin Resources Corporation holds the 42 km2 Gold Basin Project in Mohave County Arizona. The project hosts large mineralized trends containing near surface oxide gold mineralization and has seen over 800 historic and current drill holes into mineralized deposits up to 1.7 kilometres in length.On Behalf of the Board of Directors"Shane Ebert"Shane Ebert, President, Chief Executive Officer and DirectorFor Further Information Contact:Shane Ebert at 1.250.964.2699info@goldbasinresources.caNeither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.Forward-Looking StatementsExcept for the historical and present factual information contained herein, the matters set forth in this news release, including words such as "will", "intends", "may" and similar expressions, are forward-looking information that represents Gold Basin Resources Corporation's expectations or beliefs concerning, among other things: whether CANEX Metals Inc. will obtain a contempt order against the former directors of the Company; whether the Petition will be successful in setting aside the agreement with Helix; whether steps or proceedings against the former directors of the Company will recover losses the Company alleges it has suffered, and may continue to suffer, and recover the gains the Company alleges its former directors may have benefited from; and whether the new board will be able to address the current state of the Company and create value for stakeholders.

Brisbane, Australia, May 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) ("Adyton" or the "Company") is pleased to report the discovery of a new high-grade gold zone within the existing resource, from its 2025 infill drill program at the Gameta Gold development Project (50/50 JV), located on Fergusson Island in Papua New Guinea (PNG).The 2025 program included 4201 meters of largely infill drilling for a total of 36 diamond core holes. Drilling focused on areas within the existing deposit to better define and expand known mineralization. Prior to this drilling, the Gameta Project's Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) contained approximately 4.0 million tonnes (Mt) @ 1.33 g/t Au for 173 koz gold (indicated), and 10.5 Mt @ 1.01 g/t Au for 340 koz gold (inferred), within a conceptual open-pit shell.Hole GMDH009 returned 28.56 g/t Au over 12.0m starting from 146m downhole. This is the highest-grade intercept ever recorded by Adyton to date and highlights the presence of high-grade zones within the broader deposit. This result, along with other strong intercepts reported in this release, demonstrates the potential to enhance the overall grade of the planned open- pit at Gameta. These higher-grade zones could positively impact the upcoming Feasibility Study being advanced by Adyton and its JV partner EVIH.KEY HIGHLIGHTS Final assays from the 2025 infill drill program highlight the presence of locally high-grade zones at Gameta including the project's best intercept to date of 12m @28.56 g/t Au returning 342 g-m.Significant intercepts include:GMDH009 12m @ 28.56g/t Au from 146 m downholeGMDH008 13m @ 3.84g/t Au from 98 m downholeGMDH021 16m @ 2.2.07g/t Au from 51 m downholeGMDH010 6m @ 2.69g/t Au from 114 m downholeGMDH005 13m @ 1.88g/t Au from 49 m downholeGMDH013 13m @1.37g/t Au from 105 m downholeGMDH005 14m @1.05 g/t Au from 94 m downholeSeveral holes also intersected near surface mineralization with solid grades including hole GMDH001 with 9m @ 1.08g/t Au and hole GMDH002 6m @ 1.22g/t Au (see Table 1 below).These infill drill results have exceeded the Company's expectations and are expected to support an updated MRE, with several intersections returning grades above those reflected in the current model. The results may also support the conversion of a significant portion of the inferred resource to the indicated category."I am very pleased with these results, which have exceeded our expectations and highlight the strength of the Gameta Project," said Tim Crossley, Adyton CEO. "The project combines solid grades, near surface mineralisation, and favourable logistics, including access for barge transport to support envisioned development and concentrate shipment to end markets. We are now focused on advancing Gameta alongside the Wapolu Project, accelerating toward feasibility and permitting, with the goal of developing Gameta into a second production asset. Our vision for these projects is to unlock near-term cash flow through a disciplined Direct Ship concentrate strategy, while establishing a scalable foundation for long-term growth and value creation across the portfolio.""We are encouraged by the assay results at Gameta and, together with Adyton, plan to advance the project through MRE finalisation, Feasibility Studies, and permitting.

JAKARTA, May 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Indonesia is the most spammed country in the world. In 2025, Truecaller identified 79 percent of all unknown calls in Indonesia as spam or fraud. Chile follows at 70 percent, up from 51 percent in just six months. Vietnam, Brazil, and India round out the top five. The data comes from Truecaller, the leading global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication, with over 500 million users globally and over 68 billion spam and fraud calls identified in 2025.Behind each country’s ranking is a different story. In Indonesia and Mexico, over 40 percent of spam calls are identified as financial institutions – banks, lenders, and loan services. In Chile, the dominant category is not sales or scams but debt collection, which accounts for 38 percent of all spam, the highest concentration of any single category in any market globally. In Brazil and Nigeria, calls from Telcos flood the landscape, making it nearly impossible for users to distinguish a genuine carrier message from fraud. These findings point to a broader global shift — as automated spam scales, trust in unknown calls continues to decline."The scale of what this data shows should concern everyone. Fraud, impersonation, and scams are affecting people's daily lives in a way we have never seen before. In some countries, most unknown calls are now spam — that is a fundamental breakdown in how communication works. Our mission is to build trust in communication, and in 2026, we are focused on stopping fraud before it reaches people," said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, CEO of Truecaller.On March 31, 2026, Truecaller crossed 500 million monthly active users, with more than 150 million outside India. The full Spam and Fraud Report, including the complete top 10 ranking and regional breakdown, is available at the Truecaller Insights page.About TruecallerTruecaller is an essential part of everyday communication for 500 million active users worldwide, with more than one billion downloads since launch and 68 billion spam and fraud calls identified in 2025 alone.

SINGAPORE, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Daily shopping in Singapore often goes beyond picking up essentials. From groceries at neighbourhood supermarkets to online orders during festive sales, these routine purchases can become more rewarding when planned well. Many shoppers today explore Rewards Credit Cards as a way to earn cashback, points, or travel perks while managing everyday expenses. When selected based on lifestyle preferences, these cards can help transform routine spending into meaningful benefits without altering regular purchasing habits.Singapore's cost of living means that everyday expenses such as groceries, dining, transport, and digital subscriptions can easily cross SGD 1,200-1,800 monthly for an individual. Choosing a card that aligns with these spending patterns can make it easier to earn steady value across categories that already form part of daily life.Here are five everyday spending categories where Rewards Credit Cards may help you earn cashback or points from purchases you already make, plus one simple tip for getting more value from the rewards you accumulate.1. Turn Grocery Runs into Reward OpportunitiesGrocery shopping forms a significant part of monthly expenses in Singapore, especially with rising food prices. Using Rewards Credit Cards for purchases at supermarkets such as FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Giant can help you earn cashback or reward points on essential spending. If a household spends around SGD 500 monthly on groceries, even a modest 5% cashback rate can return SGD 25 per month, which adds up over time.Some credit cards also partner with grocery retailers to provide exclusive promotions or bonus reward days. Planning grocery purchases during promotional periods can also help maximise benefits while keeping everyday shopping habits unchanged.2. Enjoy Dining and Coffee Breaks with Extra PerksSingapore's vibrant food culture makes dining out a common lifestyle activity. Whether it is hawker meals averaging SGD 6-10 or café visits costing SGD 15-25 per visit, food-related spending can accumulate quickly. Rewards Credit Cards offering dining cashback or restaurant discounts can help make these experiences more enjoyable without increasing overall expenses.Some Credit Cards also provide exclusive dining deals at partner restaurants or offer bonus reward points during weekend dining.3. Make Online Shopping More Cost-EffectiveOnline shopping continues to grow rapidly in Singapore, especially during seasonal sales such as 9.9, 11.11, and 12.12 events. Rewards Credit Cards offering higher cashback or bonus points for online transactions can help shoppers gain extra value during these promotional periods. For example, if monthly online spending averages around SGD 300, cashback benefits ranging from 6% to 10% might generate steady savings.These perks can help enhance the shopping experience while encouraging smarter spending decisions.4. Convert Transport and Ride Expenses into SavingsDaily commuting costs in Singapore, including MRT fares, bus rides, and ride-hailing services, often total SGD 120-200 monthly. Using Rewards Credit Cards that offer cashback or reward points on transport expenses can help turn routine travel into a steady source of savings. Certain cards also offer additional benefits such as fuel discounts or ride-hailing promotions.These features can help individuals who drive or frequently use private transport services enjoy small but consistent savings.5. Earn Rewards While Paying Utility and Subscription BillsMonthly utility bills in Singapore generally range between SGD 120 and 180, while mobile, streaming, and broadband services often cost another SGD 60-120. Paying these recurring bills using Rewards Credit Cards can help accumulate points or cashback without additional effort.Some Credit Cards also provide bonus rewards for recurring transactions, making bill payments more valuable. Over time, these benefits can contribute towards travel redemptions, shopping vouchers, or statement credits.Pro Tip: Turn Reward Points into ExperiencesAfter earning rewards from everyday spending categories, cardholders may choose to redeem them for lifestyle experiences, such as travel bookings, hotel stays, or entertainment passes, instead of using them only for basic discounts. In Singapore, short regional holidays to destinations like Bangkok or Bali often cost between SGD 350 and SGD 800, and accumulated reward points may help reduce these expenses. Some Rewards Credit Cards offer curated lifestyle privileges, such as airport lounge access or event invitations.Making Everyday Shopping More MeaningfulWhen aligned with personal spending habits, Rewards Credit Cards can help turn routine purchases into opportunities for savings, travel, or exclusive experiences. Selecting a Credit Card based on individual lifestyle needs, spending categories, and reward preferences can help create consistent value across everyday transactions.With careful planning, tracking expenses, and choosing cards that reflect real-life spending patterns, shoppers can gradually transform routine purchases into enjoyable lifestyle benefits.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

LIMASSOL, CYPRUS, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vaiz, a Cyprus-based work management platform, is growing its user base with a product principle most competitors ignore: zero employee surveillance. The platform has no keystroke logging, no screenshot capture, no mouse tracking, and no automatic activity monitoring. It is a deliberate product decision, not a missing feature.Vaiz combines tasks, documents, and team collaboration in one workspace — without any form of employee activity tracking.The announcement comes as workplace monitoring faces renewed criticism. In April 2026, a major technology company began installing software on employee computers to record keystrokes, mouse movements, and screen activity to train AI models. The decision triggered immediate employee backlash and public debate about the limits of employer surveillance. A growing number of teams are now looking for tools that help them coordinate work without tracking how people spend every minute.Why no-surveillance work management matters nowEmployee monitoring software has grown from a niche practice to a global norm. Adoption rose from 30 percent before the pandemic to 60 percent by 2022. In 2026, the EU AI Act classifies workplace AI monitoring as high-risk and restricts practices such as emotion recognition in employment, with penalties up to 35 million euros or 7 percent of global revenue.Research shows that 31 percent of monitored employees feel micromanaged, and 23 percent report a sense of constant surveillance. For small and mid-sized teams that depend on trust and speed, surveillance tools often cause more harm than the problems they claim to solve. Vaiz was designed for these teams. The platform does not include any automatic activity tracking, screen recording, or behavioural monitoring.What Vaiz offers instead of surveillanceVaiz is a unified work management platform that brings tasks, documents, files, and team discussions into a single workspace. Rather than tracking employee behaviour, the platform makes work visible through structure: task boards, project timelines, milestones, and shared documents that give everyone context without oversight software.The platform connects to over 2,000 applications through Zapier and offers native integrations with Slack, GitHub, and GitLab. Embedded tools include Figma, Miro, YouTube, Vimeo, Swagger, and GraphQL editors. A built-in AI assistant turns goals into task breakdowns, generates project plans, summarises discussions into action items, and improves document clarity. A native MCP server connects Vaiz to AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, and three public SDKs let developers extend the platform. The full list is available on the integrations page.Vaiz co-founder Konstantin Cherkasov explained the company's position: "We build tools that help teams coordinate their work, not tools that watch people.

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Commercial competition in the robotics industry is shifting from technology showcases to real-world consumer applications. Taozhu New Creation Bureau, a robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), has recently accelerated its rollout in Beijing’s core commercial districts. Following the official opening of its Beijing apm store on April 30, the brand’s Chaoyang Hopson One outlet also debuted on May 1, further strengthening the company’s offline robotics experience network.At the Beijing apm store, Taozhu New Creation Bureau continues to embody its brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” creating an immersive smart living space that integrates product showcases, hands-on experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, and maintenance services. Consumers can interact up close with humanoid robots, companion robots, smart wearable devices, and other products, experiencing how robotics technology is moving from being merely “watchable” to genuinely “usable” across scenarios such as household service assistance, entertainment interaction, and smart living trials.The Chaoyang Hopson One store further enhances Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s commercial appeal within high-traffic retail districts. Centered on the theme of “empowering commerce through technology and driving consumption through innovation,” the store will introduce products from ecosystem partners including Unitree Robotics, Booster Robotics, Vbot, and others. Its product offerings cover quadruped robotic dogs, educational programming robots, smart wearables, smart home devices, and other intelligent equipment. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interactions, science education courses, themed events, and holiday-limited activities, the store aims to attract young consumers, parent-child families, and technology enthusiasts, while converting experiential engagement into consumption. It is positioned as a benchmark project for robotics technology consumption experiences and is expected to support the upgrade of traditional commercial districts into integrated “technology + commerce” scenarios.From the perspective of its Beijing footprint, Taozhu New Creation Bureau has now covered locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Chaoyang Hopson One, forming a multi-dimensional robotics consumption network that connects industrial landmarks, transportation hubs, and core commercial districts. Shougang Park serves as a venue for industrial showcase and technology experience, the airport store reaches high-mobility traveler groups, while Beijing apm and Hopson One tap into core urban retail consumption scenarios. Together, these locations form the front-end platform for showcasing, experiencing, and selling Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics products.Meanwhile, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is also promoting nationwide replicability. The brand previously made its debut in Chengdu’s Chunxi Road commercial district, leveraging a key consumption landmark in Southwest China to test a consumer pathway combining immersive interaction, on-site experience, and instant purchase. As the brand expands into more core commercial districts in major cities, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to replicate its Beijing model across the national market.For Shoucheng Holdings, Taozhu New Creation Bureau will further complete its robotics commercialization value chain. The company invests in high-quality robotics enterprises at the front end, introduces products into diversified scenarios such as industrial parks, airports, and commercial districts at the midstream level, and completes a closed loop of experience, sales, maintenance, and services through offline stores at the back end. As the robotics industry enters a phase of accelerated application deployment, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is becoming Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics consumption gateway closest to users, orders, and cash flow.

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Taozhu New Creation Bureau, the robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), is accelerating its entry into core consumer scenarios. On April 30, Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s Beijing apm store officially commenced operations; on May 1, its Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store subsequently made its debut. The coordinated launch of two stores in prime commercial districts not only expands the brand’s offline consumer touchpoints, but also marks the further extension of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry strategy from the investment and industrial ends to the mass consumer market.Built around the brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” Taozhu New Creation Bureau targets robotics technology experiences and future lifestyle consumption scenarios. It has created a multifunctional smart living space that integrates robotics displays, immersive experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, after-sales maintenance services, and industrial ecosystem exchange. At the Beijing apm store, demonstrations such as robotic dog walking displays, companion robot Q&A sessions, and smart wearable trials transform cutting-edge technology from static showcases into real consumer experiences, encouraging consumers to move from “watching technology” to “trying technology” and ultimately “buying technology.”Following the Beijing apm store’s role in opening up consumer touchpoints through immersive interaction, the launch of the Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store further introduces this experience model into high-frequency commercial scenarios, amplifying its value in commercial conversion and scenario validation. Located in the core CBD area, Hopson One benefits from high foot traffic, a young consumer demographic, and strong family consumption frequency. This collaboration is not merely a single-store opening, but a cross-sector upgrade between a commercial district operator and a robotics industry platform. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interaction experiences, holiday-limited promotions, science education courses, and themed events, the two parties aim to create a new traffic engine for “commercial district + technology.” For the commercial district, Taozhu New Creation Bureau can help generate buzz, aggregate foot traffic, and extend customer dwell time. For robotics companies, it provides channels for real user feedback, market validation, sales conversion, and after-sales reach, supporting the transition of cutting-edge robotics products from exhibitions and laboratories into high-frequency consumer scenarios.From the perspective of Shoucheng Holdings’ overall robotics footprint, the significance of Taozhu New Creation Bureau lies in completing the commercialization loop. In recent years, Shoucheng Holdings has continued to deepen its presence across embodied intelligence, humanoid robots, medical robots, service robots, and other fields. Its investment portfolio now includes a number of companies such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Narwal Robotics, Xinghaitu, Songyan Dynamics, Weici Technology, and R-robot. The robotics industry is currently at a critical stage of moving from technological breakthroughs toward scaled applications. Companies generally require support from real-world scenarios, sales channels, user data, and after-sales systems. Taozhu New Creation Bureau is therefore assuming the dual role of both an “industrial outlet” and a “consumer gateway.”More notably, leveraging its accumulated capabilities in infrastructure asset operations, industrial space management, fund investment, and the REITs ecosystem, Shoucheng Holdings is building an “investment + application + consumption” industrial model. At the front end, the company secures high-quality robotics enterprises through fund investments; at the midstream level, it promotes technology deployment through industrial spaces and application scenarios; and at the back end, it reaches users and forms a closed loop of transactions and services through consumer channels such as Taozhu New Creation Bureau.For the capital market, the expansion of Taozhu New Creation Bureau offers a new window through which to assess the execution quality of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy. The long-term value of the robotics industry depends not only on technological advancement, but also on whether products can enter real-life scenarios, generate stable orders, and support sustained repeat purchases. As diversified scenarios such as Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Hopson One are gradually rolled out, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its robotics ecosystem from “investing early and investing accurately” toward “selling effectively, being practically usable, and delivering ongoing services.” Market participants noted that Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to become one of the closest links to cash flow, users, and scenarios within Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry layout.

SURABAYA, INDONESIA, May 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has developed an innovative technology known as Benwit (Palm Gasoline), enabling the conversion of crude palm oil (CPO) into high-quality biogasoline, and presenting a promising alternative for reducing Indonesia’s substantial dependence on imported petroleum and foreign extraction technologies.Geopolitical tensions have continued to disrupt the global oil market and threaten energy supply security across Southeast Asia, thus emerging economies such as Indonesia are placing greater emphasis on energy sovereignty to safeguard national interests against the volatility of fossil fuel supply chains. Dr Eng Hosta Ardhyananta ST MSc explained the process and results of producing Palm Oil Gasoline using the "Benwit" method he discovered.The research, funded by the Indonesian Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS), applies an advanced catalytic cracking method developed by ITS expert Dr. Eng. Hosta Ardhyananta, S.T., M.Sc., and his team. This method is designed to decompose large triglyceride molecules in crude palm oil (CPO) into lighter hydrocarbon fractions that are suitable for use in combustion engines.Hosta's team successfully optimized the reaction by introducing a bimetallic catalytic composed of Nickel Oxide (Nio) and Copper Oxide (CuO). This catalytic synergy enabled a substantial reduction in operating temperature, from 380°C to 320°C, while simultaneously increasing the biogasoline yield from 60% to an impressive 83%.The resulting fuel consists of short-chain hydrocarbons (C5–C11), closely resembling the chemical composition of commercial gasoline. In addition to the primary fuel product, the process reflects a zero-emission approach, in which gaseous byproducts are recycled as a heat source for the reactors, while liquid residues are repurposed as fuel for industrial or household stoves.Hosta noted that the innovation has been applied with agricultural machinery, but testing has been underway since April with conventional internal combustion engines through a blending method with fossil fuels and will continue to enable Benwit as a primary fuel for conventional vehicles, in line with the Indonesian government's plan to implement B50 biodiesel in July.This innovation aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7 on affordable and clean energy, and Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production. A comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the research team indicates that the production process generates a minimal carbon footprint in comparison with conventional fossil fuels.The development of Benwit has also received full support from the Indonesian Minister of Agriculture, Amran Sulaiman. In the near future, collaboration with PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) PalmCo IV is expected to commence following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITS.Prof. Dr. (HC) Ir. Bambang Pramujati, S.T., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D., and Rector of ITS, underscored the timeliness of Benwit, noting that the current global situation offers a strategic opportunity for the government to accelerate the transition toward alternative energy sources, while the use of domestic palm oil reserves could help mitigate the effects of external fuel crises.Benwit bio-based fuel products, for agriculturl machinery and for convetional vehicles, represent a potentially significant policy instrument for advancing the transition to renewable energy, while working to reinforce national energy security.About ITSEstablished in 1960, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is one of Indonesia’s leading universities, with a strong emphasis on science, engineering, and innovation.
