BluSky Carbon Signs Master Services Agreement with Scotia BioChar

Agreement paves the way for deployment of Biochar Pyrolysis Equipment in Eastern Canada

OLD SAYBROOK, CT/VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 25, 2024 / BluSky Carbon Inc. (CSE: BSKY) (OTCQB: BSKCF) (FWB: QE4 /WKN A401NM) (“BluSky” or the “Company”), an innovative entry into the carbon removal clean technology sector is pleased to announce it has entered into a master services agreement (the "Agreement") with Scotia BioChar Inc. ("Scotia") pursuant to which Scotia may, from time to time, issue statements of work (“SOW”) for provision by the Company of manufacturing equipment and/or professional consulting services relating to the production of biochar.

Scotia BioChar is headquartered in Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada and aims to become a producer of high-quality biochar from waste wood biomass found in central Nova Scotia. Several regional biomass sources are available, including the approximately 20 million tonnes of trees blown down during Hurricane Fiona (2022). 

The Agreement has an initial term of one (1) year, during which Scotia shall have the ability to issue SOWs, with each SOW indicating the type of work/service sought by Scotia from the Company, and the anticipated remuneration for the same. Under the terms of the Agreement, Scotia is obligated to deal exclusively with the Company with respect to the provision of equipment and services as contemplated by the Agreement, and the Company shall have the ability to accept or object to any particular SOW.

By utilizing the pyrolysis technology and services to be provided by BluSky under the Agreement, Scotia intends to generate biochar for use in applications such as: mine reclamation, chemically contaminated site remediation; agriculture crops and livestock; asphalt and concrete; as well as wastewater and water treatment.

Scotia is led by Liz MacKenzie (Co-Founder and President), who has successfully advanced projects from concept through comprehensive business and financial models. Additionally, Ms. MacKenzie has secured funding from both government and private sector sources. To date, she has committed up to $3.6M of capital financing for Scotia’s various projects. She has served as the VP Business Development for Grand River Ironsands, Inc, and as a Board Member of the Halifax Regional Municipality.

Co-Founder, Vice President and a Director of Scotia BioChar Inc., Mr. Francis MacKenzie, is an experienced entrepreneur and serves as President of several industrial projects that collectively represent approximately $50 million (CAD) invested to-date, including Pure Fonte Ltée, a private company focussed on low carbon production of cast iron, a key raw material required by electric arc furnace (EAF) steel mills in North America, and Labrador Sands Inc., focused on its confirmed feldspar grade, separation process and business model to strengthen concrete and reduce its carbon footprint.

Liz MacKenzie, President of Scotia BioChar Inc. states, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with the BluSky team as we advance towards industrial scale biochar production in Eastern Canada. The opportunity is significant and a win-win for regional industries and the environment. The BluSky technology is a great fit and we can’t wait to get a Vulcan system deployed in Novas Scotia.”

BluSky CEO Mr. Will Hessert states, “The Scotia Biochar team has been diligently working towards deploying a biochar production facility in Nova Scotia. On that journey, they’ve become incredibly knowledgeable about biochar production technologies, byproducts, and more. We are honored that they have given their faith in BluSky, both in our technology and our expertise. Exciting times and a great opportunity for Nova Scotia”.
