Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. ("ME2C Environmental " or the "Company") announced that it has exercised its right of first refusal (“ROFR”) for mercury emissions capture product supply with a significant coal-powered utility operating in the Midwest. This major utility entered into a license agreement with the Company in 2021 which agreement provided a ROFR with respect to certain future supply business.

ME2C Environmental is exercising the ROFR and matching the terms of an offer made by another supplier for a direct three-year supply order and a renewal option, which is expected to have a value of approximately $1 million annually. The utility will begin testing ME2C's SEA®, or Sorbent Enhancement Additive, products in pre-supply planning discussion to determine adequate supply quantities and any sorbent tunability that may be necessary to help the utility meet the strictest mercury emissions capture and compliance requirements. The Company expects that direct supply orders for the utility's plant locations will begin in the near term during the next few months of 2022.
