| CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (CLTH.OB) is in the process of demonstrating and quantifying the efficacy of a set of technologies that, when combined, are cost affectively capable of converting municipal solid waste into ethanol.
By using the existing infrastructure for municipal solid waste collection and disposal to collect biomass at a low or negative feedstock cost, CleanTech will achieve profitability quickly relative to other cellulosic ethanol producers who must develop their infrastructure to collect and transport more expensive feedstocks such as switchgrass, wood waste, or corn stover. Moreover, biomass derived from garbage will not be subject to increases in commodity prices that plague producers currently manufacturing ethanol from corn. |

| Business model capitalizing on innovative technology and environmental concerns. CABN is developing and intends to commercialize its innovative GreenCarbon™ carbon dioxide capture and transformation technology for coal powered plants. This technology may offer a partial solution to global warming by transforming human-created CO2 emissions into earth-friendly carbon products. Advantages of GreenCarbon™ Technology. Currently employed technologies for reducing CO2 emissions are based on “capture and store” methods, which, however, are not commercially viable due to the high costs and impracticality of capturing and depositing several billion tons of carbon in deep geological formations each year. None of these technologies have been deployed on a large commercial scale. |
