FOLLANSBEE, W.Va., Feb. 24, 2025

FOLLANSBEE, W.Va., Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Empire Diversified Energy, Inc. (OTC Pink: MPIR) (the "Company") is pleased to announce today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Empire Green Generation, LLC ("GreenGen"), has closed on its financing of up to $10,000,000, through the sale to an institutional investor of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities Revenue Bonds (Empire Green Generation, LLC Project) Series 2025, with the West Virginia Economic Development Authority (the "Financing"). Pursuant to the terms of the Financing, GreenGen's initial draw was $4,000,000 of the authorized $10,000,000.

The GreenGen recycling plant provides an energy efficient, sustainable solution for waste plastics, using commercially proven technology to convert waste plastics into pyrolysis oils that are used as displacements for petroleum derived commodities, specifically to petrochemical refiners seeking a circular economy for non-biodegradable plastic waste. The parasitic load will be met through the generation of 1.4 MW of electricity from the plant's syngas. The operations are designed to recycle 70 metric tons per day of plastic by employing a sustainable and eco-friendly pyrolytic process.

GreenGen is located at the Empire Riverfront Industrial Complex, which provides advantaged access to multi-modal logistics infrastructure at the Port of West Virginia, in Follansbee, West Virginia.

Frank Rosso, Empire's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are very thankful for our lender's continual support as we expand our recycling and sustainability efforts at the Port of West Virginia. We believe Empire Green Generation will set the standard for waste-to-energy recycling plants in the United States. I want to thank our entire Empire team for their tireless commitment over the past three years bringing this vision to commercial viability. We will continue to provide updates to all of our stakeholders as the commissioning process transitions into full operations in the next quarter."
