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).

One source of biomass material is waste. Human society produces a veritable compost heap of organic waste. Kitchen scraps, sewage, the leftovers of the food processing industries, paper, sawdust, lawn clippings, the list is long. One of the reasons that energy from biomass is receiving so much attention is that it represents an opportunity to convert waste into something very valuable.

The potential value of organic waste as an energy source is only just starting to be tapped, with the sugar industry leading the way. It burns the residual fiber waste from raw sugar processing - called biogases - to produce steam, which in turn is used to work the machines that process the cane and to drive electricity generators.

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.
