Event Summary

Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. (OTC:SGTM) announced a strategic working partnership with Rock Dust Local, LLC and BioEnergy Innovations Global on July 14, 2026. The partnership combines SGTM's Restore.Earth verification platform and Florida biomass and biochar operations with Rock Dust Local's continental basalt and mineral-fines supply network, biomineral fertilizer manufacturing expertise, and agronomic relationships across North America. BioEnergy Innovations Global, through its Terra Char brand, contributes biochar production equipment and expertise. The collaboration aims to create a verified, whole-system methodology for soil restoration and carbon removal, addressing the lack of verification infrastructure in environmental credit markets. Workstreams include regular supply of mineral fines, co-manufacturing of biomineral fertilizers, joint product development, accessing USDA cost-share programs, and developing a valuation methodology for stacked restoration outcomes. The companies plan a live field deployment in the coming months.
