Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. Announces Promising Results from Several Growth Trials Using Its Innovative Fertilizer Products Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. announced promising results from several growth trials using its innovative fertilizer products. Bion's nitrogen fertilizer--Liquid AB--is produced in a patented process from the ammonia and CO2 that are released when biogas is generated from organic waste. Liquid AB is ammonium carbonate/bicarbonate, a nitrogen source with a long history of use in traditional farming. It is OMRI Listed (Organic Materials Review Institute), the gold standard for use in organic farming. Bion's Liquid AB is one of an emerging class of soluble nitrogen fertilizers that are immediately available to plants and will help organic growers increase yields and profitability. A wide range of stakeholders in the organic sector have received Bion's Liquid AB for a variety of growth trials and testing. Initial trials are in three categories: Cannabis The College of Agriculture, Life and Physical Sciences at Southern Illinois University conducted an indoor trial to determine efficacy of ammonium bicarbonate as a nitrogen fertilizer for the cannabis industry. Trial results were published in the July 2025 issue of the International Journal of Plant Biology. In summary, the cannabis plants that were treated with ammonium bicarbonate As a nitrogen source were the tallest overall in the study, with enhanced vegetative growth, increased chlorophyll content, and greater plant height. Tomatoes The College of Agriculture, Life, Life and Physical Sciences atSouthern Illinois University conducted an outdoor trial using ammonium bicarbonate to supply nitrogen for tomato plants. The findings showed the plants fertilized with ammonium bicarbonates had the same level of vigor and production as those treated with conventional (synthetic) fertilizers, as well as two nitrogen fertilizer products certified for use in U.S. organic production. Milo (Sorghum) The research division of BetterFedFoods (BFF) completed Phase 1 of ailo growth trial this month. Bion's OMRI Listed Liquid AB was combined with BFF's A+, an OMRI Listed algae bio-stimulant product, and compared to a control plot. The combination resulted in outstanding growth performance. The trial is being advanced to a more expansive Phase 2 to further evaluate BFF's A+ teamed with Bion's Liquid AB. Bion has also distributed Liquid AB samples to stakeholders in the organic agriculture and consumer products, and energy sectors for testing and evaluation. These include a global chemical processor focused on innovation and sustainability, a large indoor grower of organic herbs and leafy greens, an international energy company, a global leader in organic fertilizer production and distribution, and a major supplier in the U.S. lawn and garden market. Bion Environmental Technologies' patented Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) produces advanced organic and low-carbon nitrogen fertilizers from the problematic ammonia released when biogas is generate from animal manure and other organic waste streams, like food or food/bev processing. Recovering this valuable resource, instead of allowing it to escape to the environment, prevents air and water pollution, produces clean water for reuse or discharge, and improves the economics of livestock and biogas operations. Bion's platform aligns with global trends toward circular economy models and low-impact fuels and agriculture. The company's platform aligns with global trend toward circular economy models and low -impact fuels and agriculture. The Company expects to generate in 2026. Tillkännagivande • Apr 09

Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. Supplies Organic Fertilizer Samples to Manufacturers Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. announced it has now produced samples of its organic nitrogen fertilizers that were sent to several fertilizer manufacturers and distributors at their request. Bion’s premium nitrogen fertilizers are unique, high-value, low-carbon, pathogen-free, and can be used in a wide range of organic farming applications. Samples of Bion AB10, OMRI Listed 10% nitrogen fertilizer (10-0-0), were requested by several major U.S. manufacturers and distributors, with which Bion has been in ongoing discussions. The group includes fertilizer industry leaders with broad geographical reach into both specialty and row crop markets. A new 7-0-0 product was also produced, that is tailored to the western U.S. markets. An application is being prepared to register the 7-0-0 product under the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) organic program. Bion’s nitrogen fertilizers are produced from the ammonia released when Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is produced from organic waste, like animal manure. This process frees up large amounts of ammonia, more than half of which will be lost to contribute to a wide range of environmental impacts and health risks, including small particulate air pollution (PM2.5), groundwater contamination, and increasingly toxic algae blooms. Ammonia is also released when RNG is produced from other organic waste streams, such as food, food processing, and other industrial wastes, and municipal wastewater. Bion’s proven Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) can capture over 90% of the ammonia, preventing its escape to the environment while maximizing its byproduct value by upcycling it into premium-priced organic fertilizers. In the ARS, the ammonia is isolated, then combined with CO2 also in the waste stream in a patented process. The ammonium bicarbonate that forms is a stabilized and readily-available source of plant nitrogen that can now be transported to where it is needed and precision applied when it is needed.

Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc.'s Ammonia Control and Recovery Technology Reaches Key Milestones Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. reported that independent lab results received last week indicate the company are finished testing at Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) at Fair Oaks. Bion has submitted data to support an independent engineering report, and the Company is ready to proceed with final design and installation of full-scale commercial systems. The ARS produces a high-value organic nitrogen fertilizer from the volatile ammonia freed up when biogas/Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is produced in a methane digester from organic waste, such as animal manure, food, or food processing waste. The technology demonstration program has shown that the ARS can 1) isolate, stabilize, and upcycle ammonia from digester effluent at commercial scale, and 2) maintain steady-state operations under a wide range of operating conditions. Actual operating results for both ammonia recovery efficiencies and economics were significantly better than what had been modeled from testing platform results at Buflovak. The system's enhanced performance and improved economics were not a complete surprise. The company anticipated improvements as the ARS was scaled up from the Buflovak platform, not just from engineering and operating lessons learned, but also from giving the system more 'headroom' capacity. The company expects more improvement as the ARS is sized up to full commercial scale. While engineering challenges are expected, Bion believes those risks are substantially mitigated because the ARS platform and the processes it uses perform better at larger scale. Over the next several months intend to evaluate additional modifications the company believe could dramatically reduce system capital costs and operating expenses. The company believes an independent engineering report, along with the OMRI fertilizer listing received at the end of August, will allow it to move forward with strategic relationships in the fertilizer industry. Bion is in ongoing discussions with several major distributors in the sector. There is clear demand for an OMRI Listed liquid nitrogen fertilizer, like Bion's AB 10-0-0, and at a price point that supports Bion's financial models. Organic fertilizer distributors are optimistic: they have been frustrated by past commitments to supply similar products that could not be delivered. However, Bion believes its 30+ years of experience dealing with animal waste, the thorough development and demonstration of its third-generation technology, along with the backing of a third-party engineering report and an OMRI Listing, will alleviate their concerns. Agriculture and livestock manure are the large source of ammonia in the U.S. today. Ammonia is difficult to capture once it has escaped to the environment, where it contributes to nutrient runoff and harmful (and increasingly toxic) algae blooms, groundwater contamination with nitrates, and PM2.5 emissions, small particulate air pollution. This is a worldwide problem and nitrogen output is already regulated in the EU. Bion's ARS can capture over 85% of the ammonia in the waste stream and repurpose it into a value-added fertilizer that can now be transported to where it is needed and precision-applied when it is needed. Large dairies concentrated in California's Central Valley, most with biogas production, are already under fire from advocacy groups and regulatory agencies for ammonia and its impacts on groundwater and air quality. Bion has begun discussions with stakeholders in the Central Valley regarding circular ammonia and water recovery solutions. Bion's solution could benefit dairy and biogas producers, as well as organic growers in the region, by recovering clean water and redirecting ammonia where needed. An independent engineering report is the next step in those discussions. Craig Scott, Bion's CEO, said, "Our Fair Oaks' success caps over 12 years of R&D on third-generation technology. That achieved it is a testament to the dedication and hard work of team and the support of shareholders. Despite the challenges the challenges company has faced, there have been some real bright spots: the company are very optimistic about the future. The technology doesn't just work; it works better than they'd hoped. The company have its OMRI Listing and there is clearly demand for products like its initial supply slated for Stovall Ranches and believe that supply could be significantly expanded by deploying standalone applications in other animal waste streams, as well as industrial sources that are now covered by industrial sources that are now covered with patents.
