Realignment Will Save Approximately $1M in Direct and Indirect Costs and Expenses for 2020

BROOMFIELD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / January 23, 2020 / Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (SEER) (OTCQB:SENR), a provider of environmental, renewable fuels and industrial waste stream management services, has, as of December 31, 2019, ceased its oil field and mobile industrial cleaning services in order to improve operational income and focus on its imminent technology and product opportunities.

'Looking at the current market demand for our products and pipeline of technology opportunities, management decided to redirect resources and operational focus on several higher-margin and growth-oriented technology opportunities for 2020 and onwards,' said Mr. John Combs, CEO of SEER. 'Due to a number of recent environmental regulations and political developments, Colorado and the front range have experienced a remarkable downturn in the oil & gas and energy sectors during the past few years. This has made it difficult to secure reliable local revenue streams for Resource Environmental Group Services ('REGS') in the oil & gas sector and necessitated mobilizing to other US regions. Mobilization increases costs and impacts profitability. Conversely, Paragon, MV and Pellechar are capitalizing on multiple growth opportunities in 2020 that fall directly within SEER's core objectives: bring to market economic environmental solutions. This decision will result in direct and indirect savings of approximately $1M and better enable us to accelerate our roll-out efforts of both Paragon and Pellechar, better support the continuing success of MV, and create product inventory to meet the growing demand for our in-house media and our organic fertilizer, Pellechar. We are committed to returning SEER to profitability in 2020,' said Combs.

'REGS will continue to fulfill its manufacturing contracts for existing customers like Biochar Now,' said Cardillo, President of REGS. 'These contracts are profitable and much more predictable than oil field and industrial cleaning services. REGS remains capable and prepared to support SEER in any way the company needs us,' said Cardillo.

'There are other new opportunities for REGS. SEER is currently working with a large California-based construction company to secure contracts that would require the deployment and operation of the patented Biochar Now ('BCN') (www.biocharnow.com) technology, where REGS would play an essential role in delivering services under these contracts. Additionally, the Company is evaluating opportunities to develop a Texas BCN facility that would be operated and managed by REGS. The realignment of REGS, together with the imminent technology opportunities will make 2020 a pivotal year for SEER,' concluded Combs.
