• Total assets increased by $2,370,161 between December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, mostly due to an increase in the Hawkesbury plant construction that was capitalized;

During the fiscal year 2022, the Company continued to work on process optimization, efficiency, safety, end-product processing and commissioning of its new TDP facility in Hawkesbury (Ontario, Canada), including preparing for its ramp-up to commercial operations. As of December 31, 2022, capital expenditures for the Hawkesbury facility totaled $42,451,275.

During the year 2022, the Company completed major steps regarding the Hawkesbury TDP turnkey facility, including:

• An initial purchase order from a multinational corporation for pyrolysis oil produced;
• Offtakes for over 80% of the Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) production;
• The Company concluded on August 25 a Third Amending Agreement to its original loan agreement with Export Development Canada (“EDC”), the financial institution that loaned the Company C$32.1 million to finance the construction of the Hawkesbury facility. The Amending Agreement allowed the deferral of interest and capital payments that were to become due August 31 and November 30, 2022. The Amending Agreement also allowed for the deferral of interest and capital payments that were to become due on February 28, 2023, and a further capital payment to become due May 31, 2023.

During the year 2022, the Company also obtained the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 45001:2018 certification of its Integrated Management System (IMS), which acknowledges Ecolomondo’s commitment for quality, environmental impact and health and safety at work. ISO standards are regularly reviewed to ensure its requirements reflect best practices for organizations, as well as the needs of customers, in the evolving marketplace.

The Company is also working on the deployment of its new Shamrock, Texas, TDP turnkey facility, including evaluating several other sites to build additional TDP turnkey facilities in North America.

About TDP

The TDP process is technically proven and more advanced than most other pyrolysis technologies. Over the years, our Technological teams were able to overcome all uncertainties that plagued most competitors especially in these areas: pre-filtration, reactor cooling, reactor rotation, reactor evacuation, water recycling, cleaning of rCB, (hydrocarbon removal), mass monitoring, heat curve development, humidity and water removal, safety testing, system automation, emissions control and monitoring, rCB and pyrolysis oil post processing, efficient syngas reuse.

TDP is Environmentally Friendly – CO2 Reduction

By producing rCB, TDP reduces GHG emissions by 90% versus the production of virgin carbon black. The production of rCB at the Hawkesbury and Shamrock facilities are expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 22,400 and 67,200 tons per year, respectively.
