Arizona Tribune - Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. (OTC:SGTM) Announces Strategic Partnership Expanding Its Carbon-Market Verification Platform to Aid Surging Demand for Verified Carbon Credits and Biochar

ASTATULA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2026 / The global market for high-quality carbon credits is experiencing significant supply constraints. Amazon recently expanded access to its carbon-credit portfolio to hundreds of Climate Pledge partners, citing a widening gap between corporate net-zero commitments and the availability of credible, verifiable carbon removals. Independent analysts project global demand for carbon credits could climb toward 2 billion metric tons annually by 2030 - more than the market has historically been able to reliably supply.

Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. (OTCID:SGTM) offers a verification platform positioned to address this gap. The Company's infrastructure produces independently verifiable environmental credit certificates grounded in physical, real-world verification.

Today, SGTM announced a strategic partnership with a Florida-based capital group. The partner is committing capital toward the scale-up of production infrastructure and operations, alongside a multi-year agreement for the purchase of SGTM's product. Separately, the parties are pursuing a master license for SGTM's carbon-market verification technology. The partner would also actively originate and market carbon credits generated through the platform, leveraging its existing relationships across the carbon markets.

The timing aligns with a shifting federal policy landscape. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 on April 30, 2026, including a new federal biochar demonstration project and expanded soil-health conservation funding. That legislative movement builds on federal infrastructure already in place - USDA's Soil Carbon Amendment standard and the Growing Climate Solutions Act's third-party verification framework - that pays for and verifies exactly the category of work SGTM's platform documents.

"This partnership aligns with where the market and the policy environment are heading," said Tony Raynor, Founder and CEO, Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. (OTC:SGTM). "A Florida capital group is investing in our production capacity, pursuing a license of our technology, and committing to a multi-year purchase agreement - that's capital, licensing potential, and offtake, in a market that's short on verified supply and a policy environment that's funding the exact practices we document. And this is only one piece of what we've built. SGTM holds a technology platform spanning twelve institutional domains and more than 180 pending patents. Carbon markets are the first domain we've brought a partner into at this scale, and we expect this to be the first of several."

The relationship is structured through a signed Letter of Intent, with the parties now working toward a Definitive Agreement and due diligence underway. The parties have also outlined a framework for additional strategic and capital partners to join the relationship as it develops. The Company is concurrently engaged in active discussions with multiple additional strategic and capital partners across other segments of its technology portfolio, consistent with SGTM's strategy of licensing its verification architecture across environmental, government, defense, health, and other institutional domains.
