Montauk Renewables, Inc. Signs Letter of Intent with
European Energy to Provide CO2 for e-Methanol Production

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA—(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —Montauk Renewables, Inc. (NASDAQ:
MNTK) (“Montauk” or the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Montauk Energy Holdings, LLC, announced
the Company signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with EE North America, LLC (“EE North America”), a
North American subsidiary of Denmark–based European Energy, to deliver all biogenic Carbon Dioxide
(“CO2”) volumes from all its Texas facilities sufficient for large scale production of e-fuels such as e-
methanol. The initial delivery period is expected to begin in 2026 and is expected to last for 15 years upon
final agreement. The LOI immediately commits Montauk’s CO2 from its Texas facilities to EE North
America’s Texas project.

EE North America is a North American subsidiary of Denmark–based European Energy that, for the past
19 years, has been committed to being a leading player in the development of renewable energy. EE
North America intends to construct a Power-to-X facility in Texas that would take the biogenic CO2 from
Montauk’s locations and use it in the production of e-methanol. The e-methanol would then be used to
fuel vessels for maritime shipping operations. The LOI between Montauk and EE North America assists
Montauk in synchronizing capital commitment timing at its Texas facilities with EE North America’s
project.

The planned delivery would prevent a critical amount of biogenic CO2 from entering the atmosphere and
put it to beneficial use, creating a new fixed-price commodity revenue stream for Montauk.

“The expected agreement between Montauk and EE North America will have a positive impact on the
global reduction of CO2, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change, while continuing to expand
and diversify our revenue sources, in this case with fixed-price commodity sales,” said Sean McClain,
CEO of Montauk. “Our relationship with European Energy is another example of Montauk’s commitment
to environmental stewardship, its multi-faceted development strategy, its ability to align itself with
industry leaders and its commitment to enhancing shareholder value.”

EE North America's CEO, Lorena Ciciriello, expressed her enthusiasm for the agreement, stating, "By
thinking creatively, building robust relationships, and strategically assembling the pieces for long-term
growth, we are at the forefront of the clean energy transition. With genuine excitement and a shared
vision, EE North America and Montauk are forging a powerful partnership, propelling us towards a
brighter and more sustainable tomorrow. Our passion for driving the transition to cleaner energy fuels our
dedication every step of the way."

"Collaboration is paramount in tackling large and complex projects, and we are thrilled to celebrate this
agreement with Montauk," said Jaime Casasus-Bribian, European Energy’s Head of Power-to-X Projects
for the Americas & Iberia. He emphasized the value of being a first mover in the Power-to-X space,
stating, "With a holistic approach to project development and strong strategic partnerships, we are
leveraging the expertise from our blueprint e-methanol project in Denmark (Kassø), maximizing our first
mover advantage in the U.S., together with our group company Ammongas that provides solutions for
capturing and cleaning CO2. Our aim is to be a key player in the U.S. across e-fuels and hydrogen,
driving innovation and forging a sustainable energy future."
