Montauk Renewables, Inc. to Develop Renewable Natural Gas Facility in Orange County, California


PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA—BUSINESS WIRE
(https://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/) —Montauk Renewables, Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTK),
through its subsidiary, Bowerman Power LFG, LLC (the “Company”), today announced its planned
development of a renewable natural gas (“RNG”) landfill gas project in Irvine, CA at the Frank R.
Bowerman Landfill (the “Project”).

After approval of required environmental review (“CEQA”), this planned Project will be the second
landfill gas-to-energy project developed by the Company in Orange County and will operate in addition
to the approximately 20MW Renewable Electric Generation (“REG”) facility commissioned in 2016.
The Project is anticipated to process the large and growing volumes of biogas in excess of the existing
capacity of the REG facility. With a targeted commissioning date in 2026, the Company currently
expects the Project capital investment to range between $85 - $95M, which is anticipated to have
production nameplate capacity of approximately 3,600 MMBtu per day, assuming currently forecasted
biogas feedstock volumes that are projected to be available from the host landfill at the time of
commissioning.

“Montauk is proud to announce this significant milestone as we continue to expand our treasured
relationship with the County of Orange,” said Sean McClain, President and CEO. “All aspects of this
exciting opportunity, including the potential for enhanced wellfield automation, shared responsibility for
the wellfield collection system, and the 20-year extension of our gas rights upon commissioning of the
new RNG facility highlight Montauk’s commitments to the environment. In addition, Montauk remains
dedicated to further developing its long-standing relationships with exemplary host businesses, such as
the County of Orange, and their operation of the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill.”

The County of Orange will benefit from enhanced sustainability initiatives, beneficial utilization of
current and projected available biogas, and expected increases in royalty revenues. “Our project with
Montauk supports the circular economy by taking a waste product and producing renewable natural gas
that can be used to power vehicles, heat homes and generate electricity in our communities,” said OCWR
director, Tom Koutroulis. “More importantly, the project further protects public health and the
environment by creating a sustainable source of energy that reduces greenhouse gas emissions,”
Koutroulis added.
