Note 9. License Agreements

 

On August 17, 2017, the Company purchased rights to an exclusive license for the applications and implementations involving the Nanosponge Technology and to use and develop the Nanosponge as we see fit at our sole discretion. The Nanosponge contribution in the Company’s processes is to facilitate a cracking process whereby remediated or extracted oil may be further refined from a crude product to a diesel fuel. The license was valued at $2,416,572 and is amortized over its useful life of 20 years. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company continues to negotiate the terms for an agreement directly with Kuwait Oil Company for the remediation services on the KERP. The Company evaluated these events and determined that the inability to obtain an agreement with Enshaat or Kuwait Oil Company in 2024 was a trigger event requiring analysis for impairment. We analyzed the events and assessed an impairment loss of the assets related to our Kuwait RPCs of $7,047,179 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, the Company assessed the impact of the impairment loss, including the impact on our ancillary agreements. Ancillary to our prospective Kuwait RPC operations, the Company had an exclusive license agreement for the development and use of a nanosponge technology and has assessed an impairment loss of the nanosponge license of $1,530,496 for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the accumulated amortization of the license was none and $886,076, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, amortization expense of the license was $120,829. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the net value of the license is none and $1,651,324, respectively.
