Depending on inter-period timings on RIN transfers, Montauk’s third-quarter revenue indicates an improvement in the quantity of RINs sold. Elevated natural gas prices, as well as higher-income realized under counterparty sharing arrangements, led to this rise to a lesser extent. The Company was awarded a patent in the third quarter for 24 specific aspects of continuous-feed, closed-loop reactor technology acquired in their acquisition of Montauk Ag Renewables’ assets. The company claims that the reactor can convert agricultural waste into multiple non-fossil, renewable-fuel alternatives with near-zero emissions can create numerous units of renewable energy for each unit of conventional energy consumed and can sequester multiple tonnes of greenhouse gas equivalent emissions for each tonne emitted. The reactor is functional, and the Company is making changes to it to increase its functionality. They anticipate commissioning this plant with these enhancements in 2022.
