About FTF Energy

At FTF Energy, we make carbon neutral electricity at half the cost of diesel, while becoming the best versions of ourselves. We do this by converting organic waste streams for major corporations, like Georgia Pacific, into energy assets (process heat, electricity, etc). These waste streams originally posed as 7 figure financial liabilities for the conglomerate. Thus, we are eliminating their waste management expenses, reducing their energy bill by 20%+, and helping them reach their sustainability goals

Updates

Investor Q1 2025 Update

Another Term Sheet + Corporate Contracts (FTF Energy Q1 2025)

Greetings, and I trust that your first quarter of this year has went great.

As we are currently raising a
round, I want to specify that this is not a solicitation for investment, but rather just a quarterly update

Want to take a moment to update you on some of the exciting progress we've made here at Farm to Flame Energy :

1. We’ve kicked off a contract with Duquesne Light Company (a large electric utility provider in Southwestern Pennsylvania) for a green grocery store power generation project
2. We’ve achieved our stated milestone as our generator is now running smokeless and odorless
3. We’ve had over 50 meetings within a 3-week time span for our $5M investment round, and now have 3 term sheets
4. We’ve signed a JV with our EPC partner Engeman Energy to build 20MW+ Power Plants in which we will integrate our proprietary software into
5. We’ve attended the Biomass Conference in Atlanta, and increased our pipeline with over 8 new partnerships. Each is focused on 20+ megawatt plant installations

Challenges included:

1. Sourcing cost-effective solenoid valve for generator automation, to lower our CAPEX and OPEX. Our VP of Engineering and product team found a great option, and we went with it
2. Dealing with certain corporate tax filings that our tax accountant does not address (taxes on common and preferred shares)

Asks include:

1. Strategic introductions to additional utilities, paper pulp corporations, and agro-industrial corporations

If there is anything you would like to talk about, please reach out, and we’ll schedule a chat. Other than that, have a great Q2 and talk soon

Greatest Regards,

KJ Jyamfi
