AssetCare Fugitive Gas Update with Natural Gas Innovation Fund on December 7, 2021

The Company also announced today Allana Black, mCloud's principal ESG Solutions Lead, will be speaking at a webinar hosted by the Natural Gas Innovation Fund ("NGIF") on December 7, 2021 at 11am MT / 1pm ET.

Black will share insight into how mCloud is validating its previously-announced AssetCare Fugitive Gas and Leak Detection solution in collaboration with NGIF. The webinar will also feature conversations with NGIF's technical and instrumentation design teams, and other companies who are currently testing their emissions solutions at the NGIF Emissions Testing Centre.

mCloud's collaboration with NGIF is being conducted in anticipation of requiring an initial certification of the solution in the first half of 2022 by organizations who are in the process of adopting the Company's AssetCare solution. This includes initial deployments with first-run customers in North America and the Middle East.

As announced in June of this year, mCloud is launching an AssetCare solution that will enable the continuous inspection and correction of gas leaks at oil and gas facilities, known to be one of the primary causes of harmful emissions in the sector. Research from McKinsey and Company indicates nearly half of all oil and gas emissions can be traced to these "fugitive gas" emissions, the unintended release of harmful gases such as methane from industrial equipment including pipelines, wells, and storage tanks.

Those interested in attending the Webinar are invited to visit www.ngif.ca/ngif-events/ for more information and to register.
