Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO)
A huge advantage of renewable energy is that it results in much less air pollution than conventional energy sources. As well as greenhouse gases, fossil fuels release other pollutants including sulphur dioxide which is responsible for acid rain, nitrogen oxides and soot particles, all of which can cause poor air quality particularly in towns and cities. There has been a significant increase in respiratory disease associated with air pollution, so using clean, zero emission renewable energy to generate electricity and heat water has real health benefits.
Cleantech Transit Inc. was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. The Company has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects. Recognizing the many economic and operational advances of converting wood waste into renewable sources of energy, Cleantech has selected to invest in Phoenix Energy (www.phoenixenergy.net). This project could benefit the Company's manufacturing clients worldwide.
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.
