Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 1, 2023) - SusGlobal Energy Corp. (OTCQB: SNRG) ("SusGlobal") or (the "Company"), an environmental, agricultural, and industrial biotechnology and renewables company, the developer of the award winning, revolutionary organic liquid fertilizer SusGro™, today announced it has received a RNG Carbon Intensity ("CI") Report. This report uses the GHGenius model to calculate the CI of the produced RNG from Source Separated Organic ("SSO") Feedstock, analyzing the energy balance and emissions of contaminants associated with the production and use of traditional and alternative transportation fuels. Versions of the model are specified in renewable fuel regulations in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. The GHGenius model is capable of estimating life cycle emissions of the primary greenhouse gases ("GHG") and the criteria pollutants from combustion and process sources. GHGenius can predict emissions for past, present and future years through 2050, using historical data or correlations for changes in energy and process parameters with time that are stored in the model.
"The Report and Carbon Intensity Score allows the Company to proceed and enter into a long term and lucrative offtake agreement, leading to project and equity financing," said Marc Hazout, President and CEO of SusGlobal. "SusGlobal has the infrastructure, assets, licenses and capabilities to produce and distribute RNG which offers lower carbon options adjacent to our existing fertilizer production facilities, building a revolutionary circular economy model for sustainable change, utilizing transformative technology solutions to regenerate organic waste to energy and fertilizers at its strategically located facilities in western and eastern Ontario near the hub of the largest integrated gas storage facility in North America. A long-term offtake agreement can ensure that SusGlobal will continue to lead the organic waste diversion and regenerative products program, helping to reduce the world's GHG emissions creating strong alignment with our ESG and uplisting goals, maximizing shareholder value."
SusGlobal Energy has received a 24.7 on the Report's Carbon Intensity Score. As this system uses a reversed scaled approach, in which lower number denotes a better value in the RNG and sustainability, SusGlobal is expected to continue to receive these opportunities in the future attracting seasoned offtake partners.
When organic waste decomposes, it naturally releases biogas, a GHG containing carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere. Before this biogas can escape as GHGs it is captured and purified to create RNG. RNG is low carbon, meaning, that using RNG can reduce the amount of GHG emissions released into the atmosphere compared to conventional fossil fuels or natural gas. When added to the North American gas system, it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The RNG produced is then injected into the natural gas transmission and distribution system, providing for building space heat/hot water, industrial process heat, electricity generation and transportation, thereby reducing GHG emissions and generating additional carbon credits for the Company.
