CleanTech Biofuels, Inc.

CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. is a development stage company that is developing cutting edge waste to clean fuel technologies. We have licensed and are developing our core patented technologies which, when combined, can be used to convert the cellulosic material in municipal solid waste, green waste, and other cellulosic waste materials into fermentable sugars for the production of ethanol.

Our unique technology package positions us to be the industry leader in using municipal solid waste (MSW) as the primary feedstock for energy production. Municipal biorefineries developed using our technology have the potential to:

    -- Reduce the costs of transporting waste long distances for disposal.
    -- Dramatically reduce pollution released into the environment by the
       disposal of municipal solid waste.
    -- Reduce the amount of material going into landfills by as much as eighty
       five percent.
    -- Increase the amount of recyclable materials that can be recovered from
       municipal solid waste.
    -- Generate biofuels and other usable energy products at competitive
       prices.

We believe that our combined technologies will enable the production of ethanol from cellulosic waste streams at a lower cost than from grain or other agricultural feedstocks. Our combined technologies will avoid the immense consumption of water and farmland that plague grain ethanol producers, with the added benefit of recycling garbage and reducing the amount of waste disposed of in landfills by as much as ninety percent.

By focusing on cellulosic biomass produced from curbside garbage where an existing collection and disposal infrastructure has existed for many years, our business model presents substantial economic advantages relative to other models dependant on agriculturally derived feedstocks or wood waste for the production of cellulosic ethanol.
