Documents on this website contain forward-looking statements based on management’s current reasonable business expectations. All documents on this website speak as of their date and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements they may contain. The US EPA, USDA, Office of Management and Budget and other federal agencies support a voluntary market-driven strategy that will engage the private sector to provide solutions. Legislation was introduced in U.S. Congress in 2017 to apply the U.S. energy tax credit to nutrient recovery projects. The Trump Administration has expressed its support of market-driven strategies that reduce costs. They have also threatened to substantially reduce federal funding for both EPA and environmental and conservation funding, which would further drive the need for more cost-effective spending. Bion’s treatment solutions are a combination of biological, mechanical, and thermal processes that are proven in commercial operations; Bion’s second generation (2G) technology’s performance has been accepted by EPA, USDA and other regulatory agencies. Bion’s core biological processes are protected by seven U.S. patents, with two pending, and six international patents, with applications pending in the EU, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Australia. There is no other known cost-effective technology that provides Bion’s level of treatment of wet livestock waste. There is a growing focus by US EPA on stormwater treatment, where runoff from rain and snow melt from urban and rural areas is captured and treated. Stormwater treatment is one of the most expensive ways to remove nitrogen from a watershed and air emissions from livestock waste are one of the largest sources of nitrogen in stormwater. Increased attention is also being paid to elevated nitrate levels in aquifers and water wells in areas surrounding livestock production. The steeply escalating cost of clean water is forcing a change in our clean water strategy to address unregulated agricultural sources. In 2014, Bion began filing patents on its next-generation (3G) technology platform that substantially increases the value of byproducts that are recovered from the waste stream, including renewable energy and a natural nitrogen-rich fertilizer product that Bion believes will be certified for use in organic production. Pilot studies indicate that at sufficient scale, the 3G technology will produce enough value from byproducts that Bion will no longer be dependent on selling nutrient reduction credits to move forward with certain projects. A commercial project is anticipated for the first or second quarter of 2018. Production agriculture, environmental necessities and raw economics are coming together like never before. Companies on the cutting edge of these efforts, like Bion, can change the entire way that farming and natural resource management have been done throughout our history. Realization of livestock production’s environmental issues, coupled with higher energy costs and drought, has significantly impacted the industry’s economics as well. Further, the industry is facing backlash from both consumers and investors over its environmental and public health impacts. Using Bion’s technology, new state-of-the-art production facilities can be permitted and developed in strategic locations that enjoy a dramatically reduced environmental footprint, as well as improved resource and operational efficiencies. Certain existing operations of sufficient scale can be retrofitted to achieve many of the same benefits. Bion-enabled facilities will produce clean, safe dairy, meat and/or egg products that can be branded to appeal to increasing consumer demand for food safety and environmentally-sustainable practices. Just as important, a voluntary incentive-based strategy will forestall inevitable regulation which would be a long drawn-out and costly process. Abrupt regulation would be highly disruptive at both the regional level and to our ability to compete in international markets. A voluntary incentive-based strategy will happen far more quickly and allow an orderly transformation and cleanup of the industry. This cleanup represents an essentially untapped opportunity. Bion’s technology has been tested and proven in commercial applications for more than 20 years. Technology, coupled with policy change we have introduced and our unique understanding of this new space, positions the Company to capitalize on changes to our country’s clean water strategies that have already begun and the inevitable changes coming to the livestock industry. Ed Schafer joined Bion in August, 2010, as Executive Vice Chairman, to provide Bion with strategic advice, focusing on areas of public policy related to the livestock industry both domestically and internationally. Commencing in early 2011, Mr. Schafer became a key member of Bion’s three-person senior management team with direct management responsibility for Bion’s: a) […] Jon Northrop has served as our Secretary and a Director since March of 2003.
