BluSky Carbon CEO Outlines Commercial Strategy
OLD SAYBROOK, CT/VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 21, 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 provide the following message from its Chief Executive, Mr. William “Will” Hessert.
Highlights
Dear shareholders and stakeholders:
As CEO of BluSky, and as a concerned citizen, I am committed to helping correct some of the negative impact that generations of industrialism have had on our planet. I strongly believe that the only way we will achieve global carbon reduction targets is by building a healthy, competitive carbon marketplace that rewards innovation and good practices.
While we applaud the growing list of companies who continue to develop strategies to advance new carbon reduction technologies, our Company was intentionally designed from the ground up to help overcome some of the existing commercialization hurdles in relation to carbon dioxide removal (CDR) targets.
We have applied practical science, engineering, economic and business principles to not only develop our solutions, but also with a view to stimulating the financial incentives required to generate positive economics at scale. Our innovation lies in how we have combined these elements into a commercial strategy that is already showing great promise.
Operational Economics Almost all current CDR technologies are reliant on electricity to power their operation. For instance, the intensive thermal and electrical energy demand costs underlying Direct Air Capture (DAC) can diminish commercial project potential significantly. The same holds true for most other carbon sequestration solutions. This energy gap continues to throttle economic scalability to meet growing sector demands in many instances.
BluSky recognised that biomass pyrolysis not only removes atmospheric carbon (and earns valuable carbon credits while doing so) and produces valuable products and renewable energy (e.g. biochar, bio-oil and syngas), but, at industrial scale can also produce enough energy to sustain its own operations and potentially produce a surplus of energy beyond that. Any surplus created can be used to provide renewable energy to the grid or can provide energy to power-hungry CDR solutions such as mineralization and direct air capture. We are focussed on further exploring this potential for energy production as a key element of BluSky Carbon’s commercialization strategy. Commercial Strategy BluSky hold the promise to achieve meaningful results. To achieve this requires a different approach from much of what we are seeing currently. We believe in building on the pillars of efficiency, scalability and cost-effectiveness. As a business founded in engineering principles, we have adopted three categories that unlock and quantify our approach which we call; “Arc,” “Nexus,” and “Forge”, as outlined below: A. Arc
Industry Traction The BluSky team believes recent activities validate both marketplace demand and generate interest and visibility in what we are undertaking. Through our participation on the Board of Directors of the US Biochar Coalition (USBC) we have seen first-hand how focused lobbying efforts can drive positive change for our industry. The recent news that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has favourably reclassified biochar as a “traditional” product is but one example of a growing trend to normalize and boost the carbon removal marketplace sector (news release – Oct 17).

For our part, BluSky’s business development team has done an outstanding job to-date as shown through the securing of a $1.94 million agreement with SQUAKE.earth, the $0.7 million equipment sale to the city of Minneapolis, an up to $105 million ten-year biochar sales agreement in Arkansas (news release - Sept 24), and the recently announced creation of the BluMountain Biochar joint venture (news release - Oct 11).
BluSky recognizes that focused growth requires attention to detail. As such, the Company expects to introduce important new team members, experts and advisors in the coming months.
We are on a mission to gain visibility, attract new business opportunities and generate revenue. Our commitment is to help solve a critical planet-wide problem and we aim to achieve our goals while also delivering shareholder value.
BluSky is also pleased to announce, further to its news release dated September 6, 2024, that it has extended its strategic marketing agreement with Euro Digital Media LTD (“EDM”) (71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, UK WC2H 9JQ; email: info@eurodigitalmedia.co.uk) for an additional term of approximately two months, commencing immediately; provided that the term of the marketing services may be extended or shortened at the discretion of management. EDM will continue to, as appropriate, create campaigns, ad groups, setup and manage remarketing campaigns, optimize keyword options, create landing pages for ad campaigns and generally bring attention to the business of the Company. The promotional activity will occur on a http://www.wallstinvest.co.uk/ landing page, and via Google ads and native advertising. Blusky will pay a fee of USD$500,000 for the extension. The Company will not issue any securities to EDM. As of the date hereof, to the Company’s knowledge, EDM does not own any securities of the Company and has an arm’s length relationship with the Company.
In addition, further to its news release dated October 15, 2024, relating to the offering (“Offering”) of up to 6,000,000 special warrants (“Special Warrants”) at a price of $0.50 per Special Warrant, and with each Special Warrant entitling the holder to receive, for no additional consideration and subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, one unit of the Company (a “Unit”) on the earlier of: (i) four months and one day following the closing date of the Offering, or (ii) the third business day after the Company obtains a receipt for a final prospectus (“Final Prospectus”) qualifying the distribution of the Units issuable upon conversion (“Conversion”) of the Special Warrants, the Company notes that the terms of the Special Warrants will provide that, in the event the Company has not received a receipt for the Final Prospectus within 45 days following the closing date of the Offering (“Closing Date”), then each Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder to receive, upon Conversion, 1.02 Units (instead of one Unit); and in the event the Company has not received a receipt for the Final Prospectus within 75 days following the Closing Date, then each Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder to receive, upon Conversion, 1.04 Units (instead of 1.02 Units); and, in the event the Company has not received a receipt for the Final Prospectus within 105 days following the Closing Date, then each Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder to receive, upon Conversion, 1.06 Units (instead of 1.04 Units). In the event the Company has not received a receipt for the Final Prospectus within 135 days of the Closing Date, then each outstanding Special Warrant will automatically convert into 1.06 Units. The Company notes that each Unit will be comprised of one common share (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.65 for a period of 24 months.
Thank you for your continued interest in BluSky Carbon.
