Cleantech Transit Inc (CLNO)
Cleantech Transit Inc. was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. Cleantech Transit Inc has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects that could maximize shareholder value. Recognizing the many economic and operational advances of converting wood waste into renewable sources of energy, Cleantech Transit Inc. has selected to invest in Phoenix Energy (www.phoenixenergy.net).
The technology used by Phoenix Energy to turn your waste from industry agriculture and forestry into power has many environmental benefits. Phoenix Energy is deeply committed to their customers both in reducing their costs of operation and in helping them be good corporate citizens, having a positive impact on the environment. By installing wood waste gasification systems customers help to:
o Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
o Reduce the amount of toxic pollutants in the atmosphere
o Save landfill space from taking up more of our landscape and Reduce groundwater contaminants
o Improve energy security and reduce dependence on foreign sources of energy
A great advantage of biomass energy is its independence. Most forms of energy depend on one thing or the other and this make them work in a particular location while they don’t work in another, a great example is the solar energy, a solar generator is only highly effective where there is high sunlight and it isn’t that effective where there is always cold weather. This is unlike bio energy and a solid biomass system will keep working irrespective of location or weather condition, as long as you keep on fueling it. Biomass energy can also be very consistent since it does not rely on weather or any other thing.
Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO) is pleased to announce it has met its funding requirement to secure the Company’s ability to earn in 25% of the 500KW Merced Project.
The Company is in the final stages of closing its initial interest in the Merced Project and is currently working on completing the necessary documentation and expects closing the transaction soon. As previously announced Cleantech has the option to earn up to 40% of the Merced Project and the Company plans to continue to work towards increasing its interest in the Merced Project as they move ahead.
