American Power Group Closes $2.46 Million Private Placement With Existing Shareholders

ALGONA, IA / ACCESSWIRE / April 11, 2022 / American Power Group Corporation ("APG") (OTC PINK:APGI) announces closing the sale of approximately 98.4 million shares of unregistered shares of common stock valued at approximately $2.46 million to existing shareholders, including $2.2 million purchased by entities associated with or controlled by our Chairman.

Chuck Coppa, APG's CEO/CFO stated, "We are very pleased that several of our largest shareholders continue to show their support and confidence in us by leading this most recent capital raise. We intend to utilize a portion of the proceeds to accelerate our V6000 Low-Carbon Dual Fuel solution awareness campaign including trade show participation, demo truck program expansion, website upgrade as well as other visibility initiatives intended to underscore to the immediate economic and environmental benefits of using our V6000 Low-Carbon Dual Fuel solution."

Mr. Coppa added, "As previously noted, our V6000 low-carbon dual fuel solution displacing 50-60% of diesel consumption with domestically available renewable natural gas (RNG) from dairy manure could eliminate between 500 to 610 metric tons of CO2 per year per vehicle and generate a significant negative Carbon Intensity Score. With approximately 2 million late-model Class 8 diesel trucks operating in the U.S. and assuming an estimated CO2 reduction of 500 metric tons per truck per year that equates to the elimination of potentially 1 billion metric tons of CO2 reduction per year."
