July 09 2019 - 8:03AM
Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS), (“Aqua Metals” or the “Company”),
which is commercializing its proprietary AquaRefining™
electrochemical lead recycling technology, today announced that Dr.
Feng Han, a seasoned global leader in technology licensing and
business development, was appointed to the new role of Vice
President of Licensing and Pricing to expand on the Company’s
organizational capabilities and help to execute on its mission to
deliver the first AquaRefining licensing package to Clarios and
other potential licensees on a global basis.
Han brings to Aqua Metals over 30 years of experience executing
global business strategies inclusive of business development,
market and opportunity assessment, licensing, product valuations
and delivery to achieve sustainable business growth and create long
term value. Feng joins Aqua Metals from X-Cutag Therapeutics, Inc.
where he was Chief Business Officer driving global business
strategy and licensing. Prior to that, he spent over 10 years at
DuPont building the framework for China’s first biofuels business
development plan resulting in a strategic partnership with a
leading Chinese refinery partner. He relocated to Chicago, IL
to define and lead DuPont’s global licensing packages for
cellulosic ethanol then moved to Dupont’s headquarters in
Wilmington, DE to negotiate and sign DuPont’s initial process
licenses and biocatalyst supply agreements, representing hundreds
of millions of dollars of capital investment across multiple
licensees.
Han earned a Ph.D. from Washington State University and has an
MBA from the University of Iowa.
“After seeing firsthand the maturity of the AquaRefining
technologies, I knew that I could make a direct impact as the
Company executes on its growth plan to license these technologies
on a global basis, beginning with delivering the world’s first
licensing package to Clarios,” said Han. “I am pleased to
join this dynamic management team and become an integral part of
executing their business plan. With key partnerships already
in place, I look forward to engaging with additional global
operators that have an interest in licensing this innovative,
environmentally cleaner way to recycle.”
Steve Cotton, President and Chief Executive Officer, added, “Our
plan, as we continue to scale the AquaRefinery, is to build our
capabilities and supplier partner network to deliver licensing
packages globally. Our ability to do this is greatly enhanced with
the benefit of Feng’s experience.”

About Aqua Metals Aqua Metals, Inc.
(NASDAQ:AQMS) is reinventing lead recycling with its patented
AquaRefining™ technology. Unlike smelting, AquaRefining is a
room temperature, water-based process that emits less pollution.
The modular systems are intended to allow the Company to vastly
reduce environmental impact and scale lead acid recycling
production capacity by licensing the AquaRefining technology to
partners. This would meet growing demand for lead to power new
applications including stop/start automobile batteries which
complement the vehicle’s main battery, Internet data centers,
alternative energy applications including solar, wind, and grid
scale storage. Aqua Metals is based in McCarran, NV,
and has built its first recycling facility in
Nevada’s Tahoe-Reno Industrial Complex. To learn more, please
