Greenlane Signs Definitive Agreements With Panasonic As Cascade LF Production Partner In Brazil

~Partnership establishes local production facility to fulfill Brazilian demand for Greenlane's next-generation landfill gas upgrading technology~

VANCOUVER, BC, May 11, 2026 /CNW/ - Greenlane Renewables Inc. ("Greenlane" or the "Company") (TSX: GRN) (FSE: 52G) is pleased to announce it has signed definitive agreements with Panasonic do Brasil Limitada ("Panasonic") to localize production of Greenlane's proprietary next-generation Cascade LF landfill gas upgrading technology in Brazil.

Under the terms of the agreements, Greenlane and Panasonic will partner to establish volume production of Greenlane's Cascade LF and Cascade MS proprietary standard product lines. Panasonic has been granted a technology license for fabricating the products in Brazil. Panasonic will produce the Greenlane branded product modules in its facilities in São José dos Campos in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, investing in facility modifications, tooling, and production equipment, while also providing the necessary working capital and advance payment assurances to meet customer requirements. Panasonic's initial investments are expected to be in the range of 8 million to 10 million Brazilian Reais (C$2 million to C$3 million). Greenlane retains responsibility for product design, management of the supply chain including supplier selection and supplier quality assurance, marketing and sales, and commissioning and servicing of the products. The target is to be ready to ship the first system by the end of 2026. The partnership is expected to strengthen Greenlane's competitive positioning in one of the world's most dynamic biomethane markets and spur adoption of Greenlane's new technology.

Partnership Expansion In Brazil

"We are pleased to formalize our partnership with Panasonic, an established global leader in the development and manufacturing of innovative technologies and solutions for wide-ranging applications," said Brad Douville, Chief Executive Officer of Greenlane. "Establishing local manufacturing in Brazil is key to enhancing project economics, improving access to competitive financing, and supporting broader adoption of biomethane solutions in the region. The partnership brings not only its manufacturing expertise, but also the strength of Panasonic's balance sheet to support sales growth. Cascade LF advances the state of the art of technology in landfill gas upgrading by coming down the cost curve and going up the performance curve. We are launching this exciting new technology first in Brazil because we see the market need and believe the technology can help accelerate project development by making biomethane more accessible and scalable."

"Establishing local production capacity for Cascade LF and Cascade MS aligns well with Panasonic's commitment to advancing clean energy solutions in Brazil and globally," said Michael Coleridge, Director of B2B Business, Panasonic do Brasil Limitada. "By partnering with Greenlane to localize production, we are building a scalable industrial platform to support the growth of biomethane, while contributing to Panasonic's Green Impact initiative and broader ambitions around decarbonization and the circular economy. We view this partnership as a meaningful step in strengthening Brazil's role in the global energy transition."

Cascade LF Technology

Cascade LF is Greenlane's next-generation patent-pending landfill gas upgrading technology featuring its new proprietary Linear Nitrogen Rejection Unit. It is designed for higher performance at lower cost, delivering up to 99% methane recovery per nitrogen-removal stage. Cascade MS shares commonality with Cascade LF and is Greenlane's membrane separation biogas upgrading solution, designed to provide the best possible combination of price and performance specifically for large biodigester projects.

Brazil Biomethane Market Opportunity

Brazil represents a significant opportunity for biomethane project development, driven by a familiarity and leadership as a biofuels superpower (sugarcane ethanol), vast quantities of organic residues, a tropical climate that promotes robust methanogenesis of organic matter, evolving and supportive regulatory framework, and sophisticated and enthusiastic investors. Brazil's biomethane production is projected to expand significantly, with forecasts indicating up to a sevenfold increase in production capacity by 2035, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 21%.

Cascade LF is a configured-to-order standard product engineered around two maximum inlet flow sizes of 2,500 Nm3/hour and 5,000 Nm3/hour. Initial production capacity is being established at a level equivalent to approximately twelve units per year of 2,500 Nm³/hour systems, or six units per year of 5,000 Nm³/hour systems, or a combination thereof, based on a single daily production shift. This anticipates future demand and maintaining market-competitive lead times. Capacity can be further scaled over time as the market evolves. The localized production strategy aligns with Greenlane's commitment to serving regional markets with cost-effective, scalable solutions.
