Overview

EarthRenew Inc. (CSE:ERTH) transforms livestock waste into a high-performance organic fertilizer to be used by organic and traditional growers in Canada and the United States. Located on a 25,000 head cattle feedlot, our flagship Strathmore plant is capable of producing up to four megawatts (MW) per hour of low-cost electricity powered by a natural gas fired turbine. The exhausted heat from the turbine is used to convert manure into certified organic fertilizer.

Currently the company is focused on exploring ways to add value to its fertilizer base products. In April 2020 EarthRenew announced a partnership with CCm Technologies to develop and test new organic fertilizer product formulations. Using EarthRenew’s feedstock as a base, CCm has been able to produce a 7-1.7-2.2 NPK ratio organic fertilizer product. Moving forward EarthRenew intends to incorporate CCm’s technology into its own process in order to continue to enhance its end products. New formulations can provide several benefits, namely the ability to service a broader range of crops.

The market for pelleted organic fertilizers is growing fast. There are currently 2.7 million organic food producers growing on 142.8 million acres worldwide. The largest market for organic agriculture products in 2016 was the US (US$38.5 billion). To accelerate market adoption, EarthRenew is developing partnerships and reseller agreements with companies like SurVerda and BiocharNow in the US.

EarthRenew is currently working with a partner to develop its first potential feedlot located in the United States. The facility currently finishes over 200,000 head of cattle per year, making it one of the largest feedlots in the southwestern US. EarthRenew believes the facility is in a strategically-optimal location, with the potential to become its flagship operation, as estimates suggest the new facility could be four times larger than EarthRenew’s Strathmore facility. According to the initial agreement between EarthRenew and its potential partner, both parties will work together to conduct a feasibility study on the property, covering a review of the site, the availability of requisite utilities, the regulatory environment, preliminary engineering considerations and details of the organic fertilizer market to determine overall viability.
