Bullish Trend Building for Billion Dollar Fertilizer Market as Demand for Food Hits Critical Stage

FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary

PALM BEACH, Fla., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The market demand for organic Global Liquid fertilizer market has thrived in recent years and is projected to continue to see increases growth over the next several years. The global shrinkage of arable land and continuous demand for food are increasing the necessity to boost agricultural yield substantially. Ongoing R&D investments and the development of new high-efficient liquid fertilizers are expected to drive market penetration over the forecast timeframe. Recently scientists have developed liquid biofertilizers, which enabled farmers to increase their agricultural yields by around 20%. Furthermore, new products are economic and have a shelf life that is two to three times more compared to conventional granular fertilizers. A report from Global Market Insights projected that the Global Liquid Fertilizers Market size, which was valued around USD 16 billion in 2020, will grow at a CAGR of around 3.9% from 2021 to 2027 owing to the rising demand for food and the development of highly efficient fluid fertilizers due to rapid growth in population and growing concerns related to food security issues across the globe. The report said: "According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the estimated world population in June 2019 was 7.5 billion and it is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Liquid fertilizers are inorganic or organic substances produced industrially and introduced into the soil in a liquid state. In recent years, the popularity of fluid fertilizers has increased owing to several advantages offered by these products over dry fertilizers." Active stocks in the markets this week include SusGlobal Energy Corp. (OTCQB: SNRG), The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG), The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS), Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE: NTR), CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CF).

Global Market Insights continued: "Some of the key advantages are easy to blend, easy handling & application, uniformity of application, blend with crop protection products, and starter & in-season applications, among others. Further developments in new fluid fertilizers will drive the market growth over the study timeframe. The growing demand for high-value products including fresh fruits, nuts, vegetates, and coffee is rising at a higher pace; however, climate change is largely affecting the growth of these crops. Greenhouses and precious irrigation systems coupled with the use of highly efficient fertilizers enable farmers to enhance crop production and generate higher revenues. Furthermore, rising awareness of food security and the growing population of emerging economies, such as India, Brazil, and Indonesia, among others, are supporting the demand for highly efficient fluid fertilizers over the projected timeframe. Micronutrients are expected to showcase significant growth and generate over USD 2 billion in revenue by 2027 owing to the growing awareness about the usage of micronutrients to enhance crop development. Liquid micronutrients offer several advantages to users such as clean & easy to apply, increase yield & product quality, and reduce leaching loss & volatility, among others."

SusGlobal Energy Corp. (OTCQB: SNRG) BREAKING NEWS: SusGlobal® Completes Verified Emission Reductions and Removals (VERRs) Report and Submits to GHG CleanProjects® Registry - SusGlobal Energy Corp ("Company"), ("SusGlobal") or (the "Company"), the developer of SusGro™, an award winning, revolutionary and pathogen free organic liquid fertilizer, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd. ("SusGlobal Belleville") has completed a Verified Emission Reductions and Removals ("VERRs") report as part of the carbon credit development process for the Anew SusGlobal Belleville Composting Offset Project (the "Project"). This report has been submitted to the GHG CleanProjects® Registry, a business unit of the Standards Division of the Canadian Standards Association ("CSA"). This Project is part of the Offset Development and Marketing Agreement (the "Agreement") with Anew Canada ULC (formerly known as Blue Source Canada ULC) ("Anew Canada") 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 Agreement allows SusGlobal to monetize and realize benefits from voluntary emission reduction activities.

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, which have been undertaken in accordance with the Standards (and all applicable GHG Programme requirements, where an applicable GHG Programme has been identified by the Service Recipient and all applicable GHG Programme requirements have been provided to the Service Provider by the Service Recipient) 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.

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

The conditions prior to the implementation of the project consist of organic waste disposal in landfill, where it would decompose anaerobically and produce methane. This represents the baseline scenario. The Project achieves greenhouse gas emission reductions through aerobic composting of the organic waste, thereby reducing methane generation in the landfill under the baseline.

This monetization is an exciting development for the Company's 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, allowing the Company to expand this mission.

Anew Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of Anew Climate, LLC ("Anew™"), a Climate as a Service company that has pioneered creative solutions to climate change for over 20 years. SusGlobal believes it complements Anew's portfolio of high-quality environmental products from over 20 different technologies in over 100 locations across the United States and Canada. The partnership with SusGlobal is a core example of Anew's experience in identifying, creating, acquiring and marketing offsets, where there is a tangible environmental benefit.

"We are pleased with the results that Anew, continues to deliver to our Company's carbon credits monetization initiative, allowing us to collect revenues once marketed and sold," stated Marc Hazout, Executive Chairman, President and CEO of SusGlobal Energy Corp. "Reflecting the value of these credits in our second quarter 2022 reporting is an exciting milestone to meet, one we anticipate repeating annually and at our second facility in Hamilton, once processing commences, with the goal of helping to maximize shareholder value."

"SusGlobal's model of diverting organic waste streams from landfills, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while producing regenerative products is setting an example that others can follow," says Ben Massie of Anew. "We identified SusGlobal's Belleville facility as a promising offset development project and the listing of the verification report with the registry is one step closer to the project taking full effect, inspiring others to do the same."CONTINUED… Read this entire release and more news for SusGlobal Energy (SNRG) at: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-snrg/
