Broomfield-based Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (SEER) has received a purchase order from Biochar Now LLC (BCN) for the production of 33 kilns, valued at approximately $600,000. The order was received by SEER’s wholly-owned operating company, SEM LLC, and marks BCN’s nationwide expansion program.
“Providing kiln bodies and other related equipment to BCN will become a significant part of SEER’s go-forward growth strategy,” said John Combs, CEO of SEER. Combs disclosed that SEER is working closely with BCN for joint growth plans both domestically and internationally. The production of these kilns will be assisted by a large shareholder with a wealth of experience in manufacturing.”
BCN has been actively expanding internationally, with five locations in the US and Southeast Asia, and dozens more under development around the world. James Gaspard, CEO of BCN, emphasized their partnership with SEER in establishing these sites and developing a cost-effective kiln manufacturing process. He also mentioned a recent order of kilns for a new biochar production site in Missouri from SEER.
SEER is also planning on opening a joint-venture facility with BCN in Texas to produce biochar and potentially process fiberglass waste. “SEER has already obtained an air permit for a Texas biochar facility and intends to accelerate its plan to open such a facility,” said Combs. He also mentioned their aim of establishing international biochar facilities, focusing especially on the European and Brazilian markets, hoping to set up joint ventures and create multiple revenue streams.
