Palm Beach — January 21, 2020 — The Now Corporation (OTC:NWPN), A Bio-Pharmaceutical research company focused on the research, education and production of Scientific-Grade Cannabidiol and Tetrahydrocannabinol medicine, announces a pilot program for producing derivatives from Industrial Hemp for biodiesel fuel in North Dakota.

The NOW Biodiesel Pilot Program forms part of the existing joint venture agreement with Mr. Curtis Johnson, for the cultivation of Industrial Hemp to be grown near Grand Forks, North Dakota. For the 2020 grow season, the pilot program will consist of 400 acres and, upon a successful growing season, the following years will then expand to include over 1000+ acres.

To Curtis Johnson who grew up on 2000 acres of a cattle and grain ranch, which he still owns and now grows soybeans, wheat and corn, this brings the opportunity for diversification and expansion of future cultivation: “I am excited to start this pilot program with The Now Corporation and to expand and diversify cultivation of new highly demanded products. With current governmental approvals, the requirement of growing industrial Hemp utilizing this prime land is economically justified.”

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration*:

Production – U.S. production of biodiesel was 144 million gallons in October 2019. Biodiesel production during October 2019 was 2 million gallons higher than production in September 2019. Biodiesel production from the Midwest region (Petroleum Administration for Defense District 2) accounted for 68 percent of the United States total. Production came from 93 biodiesel plants with capacity of 2.5 billion gallons per year.

Sales – Producer sales of biodiesel during October 2019 included 57 million gallons sold as B100 (100% biodiesel) and an additional 84 million gallons of B100 sold in biodiesel blends with diesel fuel derived from petroleum.

The harvested biomass, pursuant to the joint venture, will undergo research and be quality tested for the effectiveness of hemp oil, and its blends for the purpose of fueling diesel engines. The end result will determine how the product would be economically and structurally feasible for use in further developing commercial biodiesel fuel.

“Feedback from farmers, retailers and biofuels producers is critical to the success of this future program,” Agriculture Secretary Perdue said. “Under the leadership of President Trump, USDA remains committed to fulfilling a key promise to American farmers to enhance the promotion of biofuels.” — WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 2020 **
