EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the "Amendment") to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the "Original Report"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2016, to present the information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of Form 10-K.

This information was previously omitted from the Original Report in reliance on SEC general instructions to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in a Form 10-K by reference to a definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after a company's fiscal year end. The Company is filing this Amendment to add this information because the definitive proxy statement containing this information will not be filed before that date. The Company has determined to reschedule its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders from its originally scheduled date of June 7, 2016 to August 9, 2016. As such, the Company hereby amends Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of Part III of the Original Report by deleting the text of such Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 in their entirety and replacing them with the information provided below under the respective headings. As a result of this Amendment, the Company is also filing as exhibits to this Amendment the certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because no financial statements are contained in this Amendment, the Company is not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Committees

The full Board of Directors acts as an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors does not have a Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors as a whole functions as the Nominating Committee due to the relatively small size of the Board and the smaller market capitalization of the Company. Therefore, the Board does not have any committee charters.

Financial Experts

The Board of Directors has not appointed any directors as "audit committee financial experts" as defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, insofar that it has no audit committee and is not required to have an audit committee because it is not a listed security.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the "Code") that applies to all employees, officers and directors, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. A copy of the Code is available free of charge to any person on written or telephone request to Midwest Energy Emissions Corp.'s Investor Relations department, 670 D Enterprise Drive, Lewis Center, OH 43035 or (614) 505-6115.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and owners of more than ten percent of the Company's Common Shares ("10% stockholders"), to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Shares of the Company. Executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a).

To the Company's knowledge, based on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company, and with respect to the officers and directors, representations that no other reports were required, during the year ended December 31, 2015, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were complied with, except that Richard MacPherson filed two reports late relating to two transactions, each of John Pavlish and Marcus A.
