SusGlobal Announces Additional Sales of Carbon Credits and VERRs Generated from its Belleville Composting Project

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 25, 2023) - SusGlobal Energy Corp. (OTCQB: SNRG) ("SusGlobal" or the "Company"), an environmental, agricultural and industrial biotechnology company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd. ("SusGlobal Belleville") has generated approximately 9,500 additional Verified Emission Reductions and Removals ("VERRs") and sold a further 3,000 carbon credits as part of the Anew™ SusGlobal Belleville Composting Offset Project in Ontario (the "Project"). The Project has generated approximately 124,500 VERRS (generated from 2017 through 2022).

The Project and report are listed on the GHG CleanProjects® Registry, https://www.csaregistries.ca/GHG_VR_Listing/CleanProjectDetail?ProjectId=909
a business unit of the Standards Division of the Canadian Standards Association ("CSA") for developed and marketed greenhouse gas ("GHG") offset credits from the Company's 49-acre Organic & Non-Hazardous Waste Processing & Composting Facility in Belleville, Ontario. The Project was developed by Anew Climate, LLC (formerly known as Blue Source Canada ULC) ("Anew").

SusGlobal Belleville is an aerobic composting facility that processes residential source separated organic ("SSO") waste into compost. Waste is collected from local municipalities including the County of Northumberland, the Municipality of Port Hope, the Township of Cavan Monaghan and Prince Edward County.

The Project has enabled an increase in the diversion of organic waste from landfills, thereby avoiding methane generation. Methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas which is 28 times more effective at trapping heat energy in our atmosphere than carbon dioxide. As organic wastes decompose in landfills, the methane builds up and must be released to prevent dangerous working conditions. By diverting waste that contributes to this problem, the Project benefits the community as well as the climate.

The continued sale of carbon credits expands the Company's ability to deliver on its mission to reduce organic wastes from wood, leaf and yard material, treated municipal sewage waste (biosolids), residential curbside green bin material or SSO and paper sludge otherwise destined for landfills.

GHG CleanProjects® Registry, a business unit of the Standards Division of CSA, is the service provider which owns and operates the Registry for the purpose of complementing ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-2, ISO 14064-3, and ISO 14065 Standards and facilitating transparency, accuracy, consistency, completeness and relevance in reporting, validating and verifying of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removal enhancements relating to methodologies and existing and yet-to-be developed greenhouse gas programmes.

The VERRs are greenhouse gas emission reductions or removals relating to the Project as verified by an independent third party in accordance with the ISO 14064 Standards and all applicable GHG Programme requirements. Without limiting the foregoing, VERRs also encompass such verified project-based environmental products as they occur and are known in specific GHG Programmes including GHG credits, registered emission reductions, carbon credits, certificates, credits, offsets and similar environmental products.

"We are pleased with the continued amounts that Anew has marketed and sold as part of our Company's carbon credits monetization initiative," stated Marc Hazout, Executive Chairman, President and CEO of SusGlobal Energy Corp. "Reflecting the value of these credits in our year-end financial statements is an exciting milestone, one we anticipate repeating annually and at our second facility in Hamilton, as we continue our diversion from landfill objective while producing regenerative products as part of our Circular Economy model, with the goal of maximizing shareholder value."

Municipalities continue to seek out opportunities to divert organic waste from landfills. Composting facilities and the level of sustainability built into their management model, will play a key role in this redistribution of waste. We believe these credits may drive technological advancements that will expand composting efforts at the Belleville facility and other municipalities throughout North America.
