Business Wire
CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (Other OTC: CLTH), an early
stage provider of cellulosic biomass feedstock derived from
municipal solid waste (MSW) for energy and bio-based chemical
production, announced an agreement with Fiberight LLC. (Fiberight),
to install its demonstration vessel at Fiberight’s cellulosic
ethanol pilot plant in Lawrenceville, Va. This combination of
CleanTech’s patented Biomass Recovery Process and Fiberight’s
Targeted Fuel Extraction process will create a fully-integrated MSW
to cellulosic ethanol demonstration plant.
CleanTech’s vessel is expected to be installed and operational
by the end of August, 2010. Once upgraded and installed, the vessel
will produce cellulosic biomass feedstock for Fiberight’s Targeted
Fuel Extraction process. This project will further validate
CleanTech’s Biomass Recovery Process, specifically its easy
application to existing infrastructure, enabling on-site cellulosic
biomass feedstock production for alternative energy producers.
“The installation of our vessel at the Lawrenceville plant will
demonstrate that valuable renewable energy products can be produced
from municipal solid waste,” said Ed Hennessey, CEO of CleanTech
Biofuels, Inc. “This project will hasten commercialization of our
technology and move us closer to realizing our goal of bringing
combined waste-to-energy systems to municipalities, solid waste
haulers, and operators of solid waste landfills and transfer
stations.”
This agreement advances the Companies’ July 2009 Joint Research
Agreement, which established anticipated yields and operating costs
of using CleanTech’s cellulosic biomass feedstock in Fiberight’s
Targeted Fuel Extraction process. Under the terms of the agreement,
Fiberight will finance the transfer of the vessel, equipment
upgrade, and all operating costs associated with running the vessel
at the Lawrenceville plant.
Additionally, CleanTech will have access to biomass produced at
the Lawrenceville plant for delivery to companies interested in
testing it as feedstock in their conversion technologies.
