Carbon Streaming Provides Update on Rimba Raya Project

TORONTO, April 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carbon Streaming Corporation (Cboe CA: NETZ) (OTCQB: OFSTF) (FSE: M2Q) (“Carbon Streaming” or the “Company”) provides an update on the Rimba Raya Project (“Rimba Raya” or the “Project”). The Company has learned of two third-party media reports that claim PT Rimba Raya Conservation (“PT Rimba”), the local concession holder at the Project, has had its Forest Utilization Business License (the “Concession License”) revoked by the Indonesian Government’s Ministry of Environment & Forestry (“MOEF”). Carbon Streaming is actively working with InfiniteEARTH Limited and Infinite-Earth Nusantara (collectively, “InfiniteEARTH”), the Company’s Rimba Raya project proponent and owner of the carbon rights, and local Indonesian counsel to validate the claims made by the third-party media reports. To the best knowledge of the Company, the Concession License is held by PT Rimba Raya Conservation having been recently renewed in November 2021.

Carbon Streaming is advised by InfiniteEARTH that it intends to dispute any revocation of the Concession License that would impact its carbon rights and is seeking clarification from the MOEF as to the current status of the Concession License and the ramifications of any such revocation, including on the status of InfiniteEARTH as the project proponent of Rimba Raya under the Indonesian government’s national carbon registry, Sistem Registri Nasional Pengendalian Perubahan Iklim (the “SRN Registry”), and any impact on their rights to both historical and future credits as established through the collaboration agreement with PT Rimba Raya Conservation.

To the knowledge of InfiniteEARTH, the status of InfiniteEARTH as project proponent of the Project has not changed, nor has the validation of the Project that InfiniteEARTH conducted with the SRN Registry been reversed. While unable to provide assurance regarding InfiniteEARTH’s status on the SRN Registry, the status of the validation of the Project with the SRN Registry, or the status of the Concession License (and any related agreements), Carbon Streaming will continue to work closely with InfiniteEARTH on its active engagement with its local partners, the MOEF and the Indonesian Government to preserve the continuity of the Project.
