Governments all over the world are pushing for a greener future. The U.S. wants to cut emissions by up to 52%. Europe says it’ll cut emission by up to 55%. China says it will stop releasing CO2 in the next 40 years. To help, President Biden signed a climate bill into law, which will see $375 billion worth of federal investment over the next decade. And, according to TheHill.com, “By 2030, the law is expected to bring U.S. planet-warming emissions down to between 32 and 42 percent lower than they were in 2005 through many of its provisions to promote the deployment of clean energy.” The bill could also have a positive impact on the construction & demolition materials reprocessing industry, including stocks such as Northstar Clean Technologies (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF), which is focused on the sustainable recovery and reprocessing of asphalt shingles, Owens Corning (NYSE: OC), Builders FirstSource Inc. (NYSE: BLDR), Lowe’s Companies Inc. (NYSE: LOW), and Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD).

Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Empower Environmental Solutions Calgary Ltd. has signed a non-binding letter of intent for a potential long-term 15-year lease for an industrial zoned property of 3.98 acres located in Greater Calgary, Alberta as the site for the Company’s planned scale-up facility. The LOI is for an initial term of 15 years, with two extension options of five years each. The 125m x 125m site is strategically located just outside of metropolitan Calgary, easily accessed 4.4km southeast of the City of Calgary East Landfill.
The Company is expected to have access to the site starting July 1, 2023. The Property is currently zoned as industrial; however, the standard change of land-use development permit application required by the municipality was submitted on August 2, 2022 and is expected to be received in the next 45 days. The lease also allows for certain improvements to be made and financed under the lease at Northstar’s discretion.
Mr. Aidan Mills, President & CEO and Director of Northstar, stated, “We are excited to have identified a suitable site for our Calgary Scale-Up Facility, conveniently located near the existing City of Calgary East Landfill. We believe securing the lease will allow us to grow the Company and make long-term decisions. We are proceeding forward on negotiating the official lease agreement and will provide an update to the market in due course. This location gives us not only the space we need for the Calgary Empower Facility, but also makes disposal of single use asphalt shingles and pick up of our end products convenient for our customers and partners.”
Mr. Allen Gervais, General Manager of Alberta for Northstar, stated, “We searched extensively across Greater Calgary for the last 6 months to find a suitable property for our planned Calgary Empower Facility. We identified this particular site as attractive for the following reasons: (i) easy access from major transportation routes, (ii) located close to residential areas where the shingles typically come from, (iii) located close to the nearby City of Calgary East Landfill where the shingles are typically hauled to, (iv) located close to industry partners and (v) it is a well-developed industrial area.”
Jon C. Mook, Founder and President of the Mook Group of Companies, stated “We are very excited to have Northstar Clean Technologies as a tenant in our portfolio and to be a partner in Northstar’s new facility in Rocky View County. Northstar’s requirements are familiar to us as we have similar tenants in our portfolio today and we believe we can add value working with them to create a start-of-art processing facility in Alberta that is focused on clean technology.”
