Datavault AI and Biochar Now Combine Insured Carbon Removal Credits with Patented Tokenization Technology
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DVLT), today announced a global strategic collaboration with Biochar Now to expand the distribution of verified, insured carbon removal credits through Datavault’s patented tokenization technology and global marketing and distribution capabilities. The partnership is designed to connect Biochar Now’s carbon removal credits with a broader network of buyers while strengthening transparency, traceability and accountability in the carbon markets.
Under the agreement, Datavault AI will provide access to its carbon credit tokenization technology, including U.S. Patent No. 12,443,977 and related pending applications. It will also support worldwide demand generation, buyer development, marketing and distribution of eligible Biochar Now carbon credits, while also pursuing listings with existing and future partner exchange platforms. Biochar Now will pay Datavault AI for its technology and services; specific financial terms were not disclosed.
The collaboration brings together two complementary strengths: Biochar Now's physical carbon removal, third-party verification and carbon-credit insurance program, and Datavault AI's tokenization technology, data exchange and distribution capabilities. Together, the companies aim to make carbon removal credits more accessible to buyers while strengthening documentation of their authenticity, ownership and retirement.
Eligible credits are third-party verified and tracked in Biochar Now's proprietary Insured Carbon system. Biochar Now's insurance-based program operates in place of a traditional registry. Qualifying credits are insured through a captive insurance company owned by Biochar Now, subject to policy terms, limits and exclusions.
“This partnership reflects our focus on turning Datavault’s technology and intellectual property into meaningful commercial opportunities,” said Teri Gallo, Chief Operating Officer of Datavault. “We are prioritizing partnerships that leverage our existing capabilities, expand our market reach and establish new pathways for revenue growth.”
"We believe the message from voters is that the world doesn't want more delay in dealing with climate change. It needs real carbon removal, real accountability and a better way to connect credible carbon removal credits with buyers," said James Gaspard, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Biochar Now. "We have spent years developing our patented production technology, independent verification processes and insured carbon-credit program. Partnering with Datavault allows us to build demand for our credits and create a pathway for our technology licensees to reach in-market buyers. We believe this combination can help set a higher standard for carbon-credit quality and transparency."
Creating a channel for Biochar Now licensees
The agreement is designed to extend beyond Biochar Now's own carbon removal production. Through an onboarding framework, qualifying projects operated by Biochar Now technology licensees may be brought into the partnership, subject to verification, insurance and onboarding requirements. No licensee projects have been accepted as of the date of this release, although discussions are underway, with Biochar Now referring licensees to Datavault.
For Biochar Now, this framework creates an opportunity to extend the reach of its patented technology while helping licensees bring qualifying insured carbon credits to a broader global buyer base.
Connecting environmental data
The partnership also includes opportunities to make Biochar Now's authorized first-party environmental and carbon-credit data available through Datavault AI's Information Data Exchange (IDE). Biochar Now will also have access to Datavault’s DataValue and DataScore capabilities for that data. The data initiative is intended to connect physical carbon removal with reliable, traceable information in carbon markets and biochar production.
"James and I worked closely to bring this agreement together, and he has built an innovative model to address challenges in the carbon credit market," said Teri Gallo, Chief Operating Officer of Datavault. "Biochar Now combines physical carbon removal, third-party verification and insurance for qualifying credits. Our role is to help bring that to buyers through platform distribution, demand generation and marketing, while applying our technology to strengthen transparency, traceability and protection against fraudulent or duplicate claims. We believe the combination of carbon removal, insurance protection and digital accountability can help make carbon credits more accessible to buyers."
Advancing a more credible and accessible carbon market
The Biochar Now and Datavault partnership is designed to address both sides of the carbon-credit market: the need for documented carbon removal and the need for infrastructure to connect those credits with demand. By combining physical carbon removal, insurance for qualifying credits, digital traceability, commercial distribution and a licensee framework, the companies intend to create new opportunities for Biochar Now and its partners while supporting greater accountability and transparency for carbon-credit purchasers.
"Our objective is clear: to bring verified carbon removal to more buyers around the world, supported by stronger documentation and digital accountability," said Gaspard. "This partnership is about more than selling carbon credits. It's about building trust in the market and creating new opportunities for our technology licensees."
The parties have also agreed to evaluate other strategic projects together, including one in the western United States that is actively being discussed.

Quectel Launches EG216Q-GL and BG950Q-GL to Give IoT Device Makers a More Cost-efficient, Lower-power Upgrade Path
MUNICH - Tuesday, 10. November 2026 AETOSWire
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global end-to-end IoT solutions provider, today announced the EG216Q-GL and BG950Q-GL, two next-generation global cellular IoT modules based on Qualcomm technology.
Built in Quectel’s widely adopted EG2 and BG95 form factors, the modules give device makers a direct route from established legacy platforms to a more cost- and power-optimized generation. Customers can reuse the board designs and development work they already have.
The EG216Q-GL is an LTE Cat 1bis module for customers whose designs use Quectel’s EG2-footprint modules. These include the EC2x series, EC200A series, EG25-G, EG25-GL, EG21-G and EG21-GL, as well as the UC200A-GL.
Because it shares their form factor, manufacturers can upgrade while keeping their existing layouts. It delivers up to 10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink over a single main antenna. Built-in Wi-Fi scan supports location awareness without relying on GNSS alone.
The module is suited to commercial telematics, payment terminals, asset tracking, remote monitoring and control, smart safety systems, and smart metering and grid equipment. For the businesses running those devices, that means continuous fleet and asset visibility, reliable card payments where Wi-Fi is unavailable, and remote diagnostics that cut site visits.
The BG950Q-GL, meanwhile, is an ultra-low-power LTE Cat M1/Cat NB2 module. It is pin-to-pin compatible with Quectel’s BG95 series, BG95xA and BG950S LPWA modules, its EG91 and EG95 LTE modules, and its BC35-G and BC95 R2.0 NB-IoT modules. Its compact 23.6 mm × 19.9 mm × 2.2 mm LGA package supports fully automated, high-volume manufacturing.
It is built for devices that must run for years on a battery, such as smart meters, asset and personal trackers, personal safety wearables, and wireless POS terminals. Lower power draw means longer device life, fewer battery changes and maintenance visits, and a lower cost per connected device over its lifetime.
“Our customers have invested heavily in designs built around the EG2 and BG95 footprints. The EG216Q-GL and BG950Q-GL let them carry that investment forward onto a more cost-and power-efficient platform. They can respond to rising component costs by upgrading their products rather than redesigning them,” said Delbert Sun, Vice General Manager, Product Department, Quectel Wireless Solutions.
Industry research identifies Cat 1bis as the fastest-growing cellular IoT technology by volume, forecast to reach roughly 43% of module shipments by 2030*. Moving to a more cost-optimized generation now helps customers manage those pressures and puts their products on a platform with a long future.
Quectel supports customers with reference designs, evaluation tools, technical support and its antenna portfolio to shorten design-in time.

Mouser Explores the Newest Computing Technologies Beyond Moore's Law in its Technology Series
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, today announced the latest installment of its Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) technology series, Moving Beyond Moore's Law. The series explores how engineers are advancing computing performance as traditional semiconductor scaling approaches its physical limits, from chiplets and advanced packaging to silicon photonics and emerging transistor technologies.
As a key driver of semiconductor advancement, Moore's Law has served as a roadmap for the industry, describing the trend of transistor counts on integrated circuits doubling approximately every two years. With conventional silicon transistors becoming increasingly difficult to shrink, continued progress can no longer depend on transistor density alone. Engineers are combining gate-all-around (GAA) transistors, chiplet architectures, advanced packaging, and system-level design to improve performance and efficiency while investigating longer-term possibilities, such as single-molecule transistors and optical computing.
"For decades, Moore's Law helped define the pace and direction of computing innovation, but the industry is now entering a more complex stage of development," said Jeff Newell, President of Mouser Electronics. "Advances across materials, architectures, packaging, and photonics will shape the next generation of computing. Through Empowering Innovation Together, Mouser is helping engineers understand how these technologies can work together to continue moving computing forward."
In The Tech Between Us podcast, Raymond Yin, Director of Technical Content at Mouser Electronics, is joined by Maurice Steinman, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Lightelligence. Their discussion examines the current state of semiconductor manufacturing, the potential of silicon photonics to enhance computing performance, and the technical challenges in scaling optical computing to the level of today's silicon-based systems and beyond.
"Moving beyond Moore's Law is not about finding a single replacement for conventional silicon scaling," said Yin. "It requires engineers to rethink how computing systems are designed, integrated, and manufactured. This installment explores the range of technologies that could help overcome current limitations and shape the next phase of computing."
In addition to the podcast, the EIT series includes an in-depth video, technical articles, a topic-related infographic, and subscriber-exclusive resources examining the future of computing beyond Moore's Law. The featured article, Rethinking Moore's Law in Modern Semiconductor Design, explores how chiplets, advanced packaging, GAA transistors, and system-level design are enabling continued improvements in semiconductor performance. Together, these resources give engineers insights into both the near-term approaches extending silicon technology and the emerging innovations that could redefine computing architectures. Established in 2015, Mouser's Empowering Innovation Together program is one of the electronic component industry's most recognized educational programs.

TVS Motor Company Reinforces Its Commitment to Europe at EICMA 2026
4 production-ready models, the TVS Orbiter, TVS M1-S, TVS X and TVS RTR 125, presented to European customers, dealers and media in Milan
For the first time at EICMA, hundreds of visitors experienced the TVS Motor range through test rides
(BUSINESS WIRE)--TVS Motor Company, the world's third-largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has reinforced its commitment to Europe as a strategic market at EICMA 2026 in Milan, where it presented four production-ready models developed for European customers. For the first time at EICMA, TVS Motor also gave hundreds of visitors the chance to test ride its range.
Europe plays an increasingly important role in TVS Motor's international business as the company continues to strengthen its presence in developed markets. This strategy reflects the company's objective to increase the contribution of international business to its overall revenue, with the potential to reach 40% by 2030.
Peyman Kargar, President, International Business, TVS Motor Company, said: “As we continue to strengthen our presence in Europe, our focus is on expanding customer access to the TVS brand, deepening customer engagement and delivering products that combine quality, technology and customer experience.”
Peyman Kargar, who has more than three decades of international automotive leadership experience, has been appointed Director and Chief Executive Officer of TVS Motor Company, effective 27 January 2027. He will succeed K. N. Radhakrishnan.
A growing network
TVS Motor's Italian network now counts more than 100 retailers, and sales in Italy have grown by 110 per cent over the past year. A further 22 retailers are operating in Spain and Portugal, with France and Germany next. The RTX 300, introduced at EICMA 2025, is scheduled to reach European dealerships.

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Promega OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System designed to identify patients with microsatellite high (MSI-H) solid tumors as a companion diagnostic designed for KEYTRUDA®, Merck’s (known as MSD outside the U.S. and Canada) anti-PD-1 therapy.
OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System is a PCR-based assay designed to evaluate MSI status in solid tumor tissue. MSI status can be used to inform treatment decisions and support precision oncology strategies.
“This approval reflects our dedication to providing meaningful diagnostic advances, developed to the highest quality and regulatory standards,” says Alok Sharma, Global Clinical Market Director at Promega. “Our test connects patients with the therapy most likely to help them, working alongside our pharmaceutical collaborators and the clinicians who use the result.”
This approval was supported through a collaboration with Merck, which markets KEYTRUDA®. Together, the companies are working to advance personalized medicine and expand access to diagnostics that enable informed therapeutic choices.
OncoMate® MSI Dx Analysis System was previously cleared by the FDA as the first PCR-based molecular diagnostic for identifying colorectal cancer patients who may benefit from additional testing to diagnose Lynch syndrome. It is also an approved companion diagnostic to identify patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) endometrial carcinoma who may benefit from treatment with KEYTRUDA® plus LENVIMA® (Lenvatinib), the orally available multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor discovered by Eisai. These approvals apply to the United States and its territories. Promega MSI technology is also CE-marked under IVDR in the European Union and has received approval from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) as a companion diagnostic to identify patients with MSI-H solid tumors who may benefit from treatment with KEYTRUDA®.
KEYTRUDA® is indicated for adult and pediatric patients with unresectable or metastatic microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient cancer who have progressed following prior treatment and who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. KEYTRUDA® is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.
