INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

INDUSTRY LANDSCAPE

The Sustainable Product
Market Is Growing Rapidly

With increasing global focus on sustainable resource management, rising energy needs, and tightening petroleum supplies, green renewable energy markets are gaining momentum. Anticipated market demand for green technologies is estimated to soar up to $1 trillion annually. In addition, according to Allied Market Research, the market for recycled asphalt is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2020 to 2027.

TARGET SECTORS

Market Size
& Growth

Sky Quarry is poised to capitalize on rapidly expanding markets, including the growing demand for renewable infrastructure and sustainable products. As governments, businesses, and consumers seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint, our adaptability to market trends positions us as a key player in the renewable infrastructure industry.

New Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt roofing shingles account for nearly two-thirds of the roofing market, with demand projected to reach $197B by 2032.

Carbon
Market

Companies are pouring big money into renewable energy projects and purchasing carbon credits to offset their emissions.

Sustainable
Fuel

The sustainable fuel market is expected to triple over the next 20 years and could account for up to 37% of energy demand in the transportation sector. Sustainable aviation fuel stands at approximately 300% higher than that of traditional aviation fuel.

Paving
Industry

America has 173,000 miles of poor roads and bridges that need to be repaired and repaved. President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law intends to repair all these roads, which will require a substantial amount of paving asphalt bitumen.

Carbon Credit Opportunity

Recycling asphalt shingle waste qualifies for valuable carbon credits by significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This process not only helps mitigate climate change but also plays an essential role in carbon credit systems, presenting a unique opportunity for Sky Quarry to contribute to environmental sustainability while also gaining financial benefits.

 In addition, we intend to investigate extending operations to carbon sequestration by storing carbon in its residual limestone powder.

The National & State Regulatory Landscape

As the EPA and regional governments move towards banning shingle landfill disposal,
Sky Quarry is poised to become one of the few viable options for shingle waste disposal.
This regulatory shift would likely allow Sky Quarry to potentially command higher tipping fees,
benefiting from increased regulatory controls.

Priority

US EPA 2022 Sustainable Materials Management plan’s number one objective is to reduce landfill waste.

Recycle Rates

28% of North American states have implemented construction and demolition waste diversion rates or recycling requirements, with California reaching up to 75% in some areas..

Landfill Bans

Legislation banning asphalt shingles from landfills will likely prompt use in recycling. Vermont Act 175 banned landfill disposal, other states expected to follow.

Premium Fees

California is contemplating a recycle fee for shingles. Transfer stations are charging a premium for receiving waste shingles because they don’t want the material.
