Gross Margin as % of Revenue

"On the back of another record revenue quarter for Greenlane, we remain optimistic about our long term outlook," said Brad Douville , President and CEO of Greenlane. "In line with our strategic plan, we've accomplished a great deal, including the first full quarter of results from our newly acquired Airdep division in Italy and our first deployment of development capital. In view of the Company's extraordinary growth over the last two years we are rapidly adding talented new team members and accelerating systemic and process enhancements. We continue to invest in building the Company and strengthening the team to position for further growth."

"The demand for RNG continues to expand as highlighted by some of the largest market participants and their related news, including recent US Senate support for RNG under the Inflation Reduction Act, industry M&A activity, and gas utilities and governments progressing toward targeted and regulated RNG penetration rates. We remain confident that our products, our people and our role in the RNG industry will contribute significantly to decarbonizing the world's energy systems."

Greenlane continually updates its pipeline of active system sales opportunities (" Sales Pipeline "), which at June 30, 2022 was approximately $900 million , representing a net increase of $50 million in new opportunities since year-end 2021, and a 13% increase year-over-year versus $800 million at the end of Q2 2021. The Sales Pipeline represents visibility to a significant number of opportunities for which the Company provides a quote, and those opportunities that successfully convert into contract wins move into our sales order backlog (" Sales Order Backlog "). The Company's Sales Order Backlog of $40.7 million as at June 30, 2022 is a snapshot in time which varies from quarter-to-quarter. The Sales Order Backlog increases by the value of new system sales contracts and is drawn down over time as projects progress towards completion with amounts recognized in revenue.

The overall global market outlook for the biogas industry continues to be robust with recent announcements.

In Europe , the Russian-Ukraine conflict continues to impact energy markets and is widely expected to accelerate the pace of growth of biomethane projects. Earlier in 2022, the European Commission published the "Joint European Action for more affordable, secure and sustainable energy" ("REPowerEU") with the goal of establishing energy independence from Russian fossil fuels. The Commission has pledged €37 billion to increase biomethane production to 35 billion cubic metres by 2030, up from the 3 billion cubic metres in 2020, and represents approximately 20% of current Russian natural gas imports.

In the United States , Senator Joe Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer announced an agreement on a spending and tax package on July 27, 2022 . The resulting Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 raises $739 billion over the next ten years. To address climate and energy issues, the legislation provides $369 billion over the next ten years on spending and tax policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and spur the expanded production and use of domestic clean energy, and contains provisions supported and advocated by the RNG industry including biogas property, which includes biogas upgrading equipment, as qualifying equipment for purposes of the Section 48 energy investment tax credit. The base credit is 30% of which 6% would be immediately available with the other 24% available if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met.

An active spring in the US renewable natural gas market was highlighted with BlackRock's announced acquisition of Vanguard Renewables for US$700 million . BlackRock is partnering with Vanguard to drive its next phase of growth, including plans to commission more than 100 anaerobic digesters to produce renewable natural gas across the country by 2026. Increasing M&A activity is often a leading indicator of continued strength and growth in the sector.

In Canada , FortisBC announced during the second quarter that it nearly tripled RNG supply in 2021 compared to 2020, and that by the end of 2022 it expects to triple its RNG supply again to approximately 3.9 petajoules (PJ) of contracted annual RNG supply for its customers - roughly enough energy to meet the natural gas needs of approximately 43,750 homes in British Columbia . FortisBC said that it expects that its original 2030 goal of 15% of its gas supply being renewable and low carbon will be met or exceeded. In a recent report commissioned by the Province of British Columbia , FortisBC and BC Bioenergy Network revealed that by 2050, the maximum potential supply of in-province renewable and low carbon gases could be as high as 440 PJ per year – roughly double FortisBC's current annual gas supply.

The Government of Québec announced it is seeking feedback on its draft regulation to amend its renewable gas standard that would promulgate the provincial government's commitment to require a 10% renewable gas blend by 2030, equating to approximately 20 million MMBtu of RNG demand, including a 7% interim target in 2028. The current regulation requires gas utilities to achieve the blends of RNG of 2% in 2023 and 5% in 2025.

The public is invited to listen to the conference call by telephone at 2 pm PT ( 5 pm ET ) today, August 9 th . To access the conference call by telephone, please dial: 1-800-319-4610 ( Canada & USA toll-free) or 1-604-638-5340. Callers should dial in 5-10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time and ask to join the Greenlane Renewables conference call.

Shortly after the conference call, the replay will be archived on the Greenlane Renewables website and replay will be available in streaming audio and a downloadable audio file.

Management evaluates the Company's performance using a variety of measures, including "Adjusted EBITDA", "gross margin" (gross profit excluding amortization), "sales pipeline" and "Sales Order Backlog". The specified financial measures, including non-IFRS measures and supplementary financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than revenue or net loss. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes these specified financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Company. Management uses these specified financial measures to exclude the impact of certain expenses and income that must be recognized under IFRS when analyzing consolidated underlying operating performance, as the excluded items are not necessarily reflective of the Company's underlying operating performance and make comparisons of underlying financial performance between periods difficult. From time to time, the Company may exclude additional items if it believes doing so would result in a more effective analysis of underlying operating performance. The exclusion of certain items does not imply that they are non-recurring.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, foreign exchange, depreciation and amortization, as well as adjustments for other income (expense), value assigned to options and RSU's granted, and strategic initiatives.

Note 1 - Reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:

Note 2 - Sales Order Backlog is a supplementary financial measure that refers to the balance of unrecognized revenue from contracted biogas upgrading system supply projects. The Sales Order Backlog increases by the value of new system sales contracts and is drawn down over time as projects progress towards completion with amounts recognized in revenue (by reference to the stage of completion of each contract).

Note 3 - Greenlane maintains a Sales Pipeline of prospective projects that it updates regularly based on quote activity to ensure that it is reflective of sales opportunities that can convert into orders within approximately a rolling 24 month time horizon. The Sales Pipeline is a supplementary financial measure. Not all of these potential projects will proceed or proceed within the expected timeframe and not all of the projects that do proceed will be awarded to Greenlane. Additions to the amount in the Sales Pipeline come from situations where the Company provides a quote on a prospective project and reductions to the Sales Pipeline arise when the Company loses a prospective project to a competitor, a project does not proceed or, where a quote in the Sales Pipeline is converted to Greenlane's Sales Order Backlog.

Greenlane Renewables is a pioneer in the rapidly growing renewable natural gas (" RNG ") industry. As a leading global provider of biogas upgrading systems, we are helping to clean up two of the largest and most difficult-to-decarbonize sectors of the global energy system: the natural gas grid and the commercial transportation sector. Our systems produce clean, low-carbon and carbon-negative RNG from organic waste sources such as landfills, wastewater treatment plants, dairy farms, and food waste streams. To the company's knowledge, Greenlane is the only biogas upgrading company offering the three main technologies: waterwash, pressure swing adsorption, and membrane separation. Greenlane's business has been built on over 30 years of industry experience, patented and proprietary technology, over 100 hydrogen sulfide treatment systems sold, and over 135 biogas upgrading systems sold into 19 countries, including some of the largest RNG production facilities in the world.

Greenlane Renewables (TSX:GRN) is a leading global provider of biogas-upgrading systems that are capable of contributing to the decarbonizing of the natural gas grid and transportation network. The company’s systems produce clean, low-carbon, renewable natural gas (RNG) from organic waste sources such as landfills, wastewater treatment plants, farms and food waste facilities. The RNG is then used as fuel for vehicles, such as those adopted by UPS (NYSE:UPS), or for injection into the natural gas grid.

In response to end-user demands for a lower carbon footprint and renewable fuels, Greenlane Renewables is the only RNG pure play that offers the three main biogas upgrading technologies. These technologies remove impurities and separate biomethane in raw biogas to create clean RNG for pipeline injection, liquefaction or direct use as a vehicle fuel. The company works with customers from around the globe to find the right solutions for the type and scope of the project.

Focused on providing turnkey solutions for its clients, Greenlane Renewables offers three technologically-advanced solutions to its clients, beginning with its patented water-wash system, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and membrane separation, all three of which are designed to meet project specifications without breaking the budget. More than that, Greenlane Renewables brings core competency and outright expertise built on decades of experience to get the job done. Units are priced from $2 million to $12 million depending on the size and scope of the project, generating over $55 million in revenue for the company in 2021. Greenlane Renewables has recently announced its first deployment of development capital in an effort to accelerate RNG projects to the ready-for-construction phase, secure additional system sales and services and which may result in an equity and/or profits interest for Greenlane in the resulting RNG project.

To date, Greenlane Renewables has installed over 135 units in 19 countries across the globe. The company has installed one of the largest RNG operations in both Europe (Germany) and Canada (Quebec). Greenlane Renewables has also completed a project in California that upgrades and injects RNG into the SoCalGas (OTCMKTS:SOCGP) (part of the Sempra group of utilities) natural gas pipeline network.

With over 30 years of industry experience, patented technology and over 135 biogas units installed in 19 countries, Greenlane Renewables is committed to help eliminate waste and provide a greener future for generations to come.

Greenlane Renewables is also one of the founding members of the Integrated Biogas Alliance (IBA), an organization designed to help provide the global biogas industry with unique and fully-integrated organic waste to renewable energy solutions.

According to a report by McKinsey & Company, the demand for natural gas is expected to reach 20 billion cubic feet per day by the year 2030. The market is expected to have a significant impact on the North American gas landscape in particular, as coal loses popularity as an energy solution and renewable energy takes a more dominant role in the market. McKinsey & Company notes that the North American gas market is dependent on the global market as roughly 60 percent of natural gas will come from the US and Canadian exports.

The increase in demand for renewable energy sources is being driven by greenhouse gas emission reductions, strict government regulations and growing demand for waste treatments. For example, in 2010, California passed the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (CA-LCFS), which looks to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 10 percent by 2020. The new standards were designed to promote the use of alternative fuels including biofuels, compressed natural gas, hydrogen and electricity, making biogas an important renewable energy solution.

To present a viable solution for the need for renewable energy, Greenlane Renewables utilizes three innovative technologies that are capable of producing biogas. Biogas is produced from decomposing organic material without the presence of oxygen and primarily comprised of methane and carbon dioxide gas. Biogas started as a cheap heating fuel but was adopted in the late 1980s for combined heat and power applications. Applications for biogas have recently expanded to include high-value and high-tech upgrading processes to make it available for pipeline injection (utilities) and vehicle use.

Many existing natural gas plants, however, are not equipped to produce biogas, creating a large market for biogas upgrades. According to Research and Markets, the global biogas upgrading market is expected to reach US$4.96 billion by 2026. Biogas plants are needed to help the utility sector meet sustainability targets and many companies, such as SoCalGas, FortisBC and Energir are looking to use a greater amount of RNG in lieu of fossilized natural gas in their distribution networks.. For example, SoCalGas has committed to replace 20 percent of its traditional natural gas supply with RNG by 2030.

Greenlane Renewables has built a team with significant technology and implementation expertise that collaborate with the company’s clients. The team works with customers to evaluate project objectives and identify solutions that work for them. Greenlane Renewables helps its clients choose the right type of technology for the project, advisory services and assists with a variety of project development activities such as financing, siting, permitting and RNG off-take.

Greenlane Renewables is one of the only companies to offer multiple core technologies for creating RNG from biogas. The company’s biogas upgrading-systems are marketed and sold through its wholly-owned subsidiary Greenlane Biogas and the Greenlane Biogas brand. Biogas upgrading systems are responsible for cleansing impurities and separating carbon dioxide from biomethane to create a clean, high-purity, low-carbon fuel, known as RNG.

Greenlane Renewables manages the entire project life cycle from design and procurement through to on-site installation, commissioning and aftercare. After the company’s technology has been installed, Greenlane Renewables provides 24/7 technical support, remote monitoring and maintenance.

Greenlane Renewables offers three technology solutions to its clients: water-wash, PSA and membrane separation. All three pieces of technology are designed to fulfill the needs of big and small projects alike. Each unit price ranges from $2 million to $12 million depending on the size and scope, which resulted in over $55 million in revenue for the company in 2021.

A simple process with no upstream treatment requirements, the water wash technology removes impurities in the feed material without using chemicals or heat. It is one of the most widely-used upgrading technologies in the world. Greenlane Renewables has developed five models for this technology that are designed to meet a range of flow-rate requirements. All technology systems contain a modular design with a compact footprint, making it easily scalable.

PSA can effectively separate specific gases from a complex mixture of different gases, like those generated at landfills. The PSA technology uses several steps to purify biogas and separate methane from carbon dioxide. It is one of the only technologies available today that can remove nitrogen; however, high nitrogen levels can reduce methane recovery rates, making it sometimes necessary to pair the technology with another solution like the water wash.

Often more suitable for small to medium-sized projects, the membrane separation technology uses permeation to filter out larger methane molecules from the smaller carbon dioxide molecules. Greenlane Renewables believes that this option is best for clients that consider initial capital expenditure as more important than long-term life cycle costs.

Every biogas upgrading project requires its own unique solution depending on the source of the raw biogas, its composition and level of impurities. The solution also changes based on the size of the project and the end-user of the RNG. To this aim, Greenlane Renewables works with its customers to find the right solution for that particular client and has established projects in a number of countries around the globe.

In 2009, Greenlane Renewables was commissioned to develop one of the largest RNG projects in Europe in Gustgrow, Germany. The plant, which has a capacity of 10,000 normal cubic meters per hour, treats biogas from crops and feeds the RNG into the local natural gas pipeline.

Greenlane Renewables has also designed one of the largest RNG processing facilities in the world in Montreal, Quebec. The facility has a capacity of 16,000 normal cubic meters per hour and treats biogas from a large landfill and feeds the RNG into the local natural gas pipeline. The project was commissioned in 2014.

Greenlane Renewables’ has been tasked with some of the toughest jobs. Their project in Perris, California, commissioned in 2018, treats biogas from municipal organic waste and feeds the Rule-30 pipeline-quality RNG into SoCalGas’ pipelines. The project has a total capacity of 2,000 normal cubic meters per hour and is credited with being the first facility to produce RNG within California. The project uses Greenlane Renewables’ Totara system in combination with PSA to produce the required end product.

Greenlane Renewables plans to expand beyond systems sales and increase recurring revenues and profits by adding exposure to lucrative RNG off-take contracts and the associated environmental attributes/carbon credits. Management intends to deploy specialized development capital where it can accelerate projects to the ready-for-construction phase, secure additional system sales and services and result in an equity and/or profits interest for Greenlane in the resulting RNG project. In June of 2022, Greenlane announced its first deployment of development capital for a dairy cluster project in California.

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (FSE: 0GF) ("GMG " or the "Company") is pleased to advise that the Company has taken a Final Investment Decision ("FID") on Phase 1 of its graphene manufacturing expansion project. The expansion project includes an executed 5 year lease to expand total office and warehouse space to 3,500 square metres, the next generation of the Company's proprietary graphene production technology with enhanced automation, a micro-grid with energy storage component to improve commercial and environmental electricity supply for the production process, and an infrastructure corridor to allow rapid scaling of further graphene manufacturing capacity during future phases of the graphene manufacturing expansion project. The project will be managed and executed by the Company's engineers with Wood engineering (the Company's graphene manufacturing scaling engineering service supplier) providing safety, assurance and design review services.

Following positive potential customer feedback from G+AI battery coin cell prototype testing, and ongoing enhancements to the Company's unique graphene production process, the Company believes enhanced and expanded production facilities are now appropriate.

The lease commitment of the additional new office and warehouse space of 1,500 square metres, which is adjacent to the existing Company leased 2,000 square metre office and warehouse, is intended to accommodate new staff and expand graphene manufacturing capacity.

The Phase 1 expansion project is expected to provide ample graphene supply for the production of the Company's graphene aluminium-ion battery ("G+AI Battery") coin cells, as well as the Company's energy saving liquid graphene products. The total investment of approximately AU$1.5 million is expected to be fully commissioned by first half of 2023. This project was envisaged in the September 2021 market raise but now also includes costs to relocate all of GMG's existing graphene manufacturing capacity adjacent to its new headquarters and Battery Development Centre ("BDC") in Brisbane, Australia.

GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "Taking FID on this project is not only a reflection on the level of confidence we have in manufacturing high quality graphene for our applications at scale, it's also a reflection of our confidence to commercialise energy savings and energy storage applications in the near term. It is very pleasing to see that we are now scaling up our graphene manufacturing capacity using the propriety process that we developed ourselves since 2017."

A potential subsequent FID for further expanded graphene production which is expected to be located in the new warehouse space, will be considered upon the maturing of targeted commercialisation opportunities for either the Company's G+AI Battery and energy saving liquid graphene products. The newly leased site is expected to have enough space to enable multiple such increases of production.

By increasing the use of solar power, co-generation and energy storage systems, electricity supply will be largely self-sufficient and achieve a lower carbon emissions footprint for the production facility.

GMG is a clean-technology company which seeks to offer energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene, including that manufactured in-house via a proprietary production process.

GMG has developed a proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications. The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications.

In the energy savings segment, GMG has focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving paint), lubricants and fluids. In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries").

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect the expectations or beliefs of management of the Company regarding future events. Generally, forward-looking statements and information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "intends", "expects" or "anticipates", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would" or will "potentially" or "likely" occur. This information and these statements, referred to herein as "forward‐looking statements", are not historical facts, are made as of the date of this news release and include without limitation, statements regarding discussions of future plans, estimates and forecasts and statements as to management's expectations and intentions with respect to, among other things: the FID on Phase 1 and a subsequent second phase of the manufacturing plant expansion project; Wood's participation in the expansion project; the timing and cost of completion of Phase 1; the enhancements to the production facility stemming from the completion of Phase 1 and subsequent phases; the ability of the expansion project to provide adequate graphene to produce G+AI battery coin cells and liquid graphene products; the production, commercialisation, scaling, quality and application of G+AI battery coin cell and theCompany's energy saving liquid graphene products; and the impact, use and capability of the expanded facility.

These forward‐looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and actual results might differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related to uncertain demand for the Company's products, the effectiveness of Company's deployment of resources, including its personnel, the intention of the Company to develop and produce certain products, that the Company will not be successful in expanding the production facility as expected, uncertainty regarding costs of expanding the facility, that the results of the expanded facility will not be aligned with management's expectations, and that the production, commercialisation, scaling, quality and application of the G+AI battery coin cell and theCompany's energy saving liquid graphene products will differ from expectations.

In making the forward looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including without limitation, assumptions regarding the deployment of the Company's resources and personnel, that the Company will be able to expand the production facility as expected, the accuracy of the Company's expectations in relation to the effect of the Phase 1 and further expansion, and its impact on the production, commercialisation, scaling, quality and application of the Company's products.

Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, forward-looking information or financial out-look that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. We seek safe harbor.

Alkaline Fuel Cell Power Corp. (NEO: PWWR) (OTCQB:ALKFF) (Frankfurt: 77R, WKN: A3CTYF) ("AFCP" or the "Company") a diversified investment platform developing affordable, renewable, and reliable energy assets and cleantech, is pleased to announce that PWWR Flow, the combined heat and power ("CHP") brand of the Company, is advancing a CHP project of approximately $2.2 million in capital for a condominium in mid-town Toronto, Canada (the " CHP Project "). The CHP Project is expected to generate more than $16 million in total revenue for PWWR Flow over a 25-year Energy Service Agreement ( "ESA ") timeframe.

"Our PWWR Flow brand is positioned to deliver more immediate revenue and contribute to earnings for AFCP as a complement to our longer-term, hydrogen-powered alkaline fuel cells ", commented Frank Carnevale, CEO. "We are actively moving through our $50 million sales pipeline of CHP projects, and we have already begun discussions to grow beyond it."

PWWR Flow Mid-town Toronto CHP Project

As outlined within the PWWR Flow acquisition closing press release dated April 22, 2022, the Company has officially notified the applicable Condo Corporation (" Condo Corp ") that PWWR Flow is moving ahead with development of the estimated $2.2 million CHP Project, targeting a July 2023 Commercial Operation Date. The ESA was signed with the Condo Corp on April 21, 2021. The CHP Project would produce electricity and heat on a 24/7 basis for the baseload of the condominium.  The electricity produced will be sold to the Condo Corp at up to 20 percent discount to the market price that the Condo Corp would otherwise pay to their local electricity distribution company, which brings them significant savings. The heat produced will be sold at the price equivalent to the condominium's current heating cost. It is a high-efficiency CHP system with estimated annual efficiency of approximately 75 percent.

AFCP is immediately commencing the connection impact assessment study, required to connect in Toronto Hydro service territory, as well as the final engineering design. The Company expects to order the CHP engine in Q4 of 2022, and the Company does not anticipate any supply chain issues with delivery.

As reported in the Company's Q2 Financials on August 12, 2022, AFCP had approximately $3.1 million in cash at quarter end. To supplement this cash balance, the Company anticipates securing project debt on CHP systems, AI 2191 Yonge Ltd., and this latest project, by Q4 2022. In the interim, AFCP will continue to allocate its current cash toward further projects development.

As detailed within our June 20, 2002 press release, the Company has provided an outlook for the balance of 2022, a key component of which includes continuing to progress growth of the PWWR Flow Streams business. AFCP intends to expand the Company's asset installation base by leveraging the ongoing revenue and earnings generated through PWWR Flow as we continue to develop the $50 million worth of PWWR Flow projects in our pipeline over the next few years.
