Continuing a string of positive news which began last week, CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: CLTH) should have investors monitoring the stock closely. Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that it has placed its initial orders for equipment to be used at its first commercial site located in Chicago, Illinois.

More great news! According to the release, CleanTech expects to begin producing biomass from municipal solid waste for the production of renewable energy in the near-term. Initially, the biomass produced in Chicago will be co-fired with coal at existing coal fired power plants operating in the Chicago area.

In other news, the company reported last week that it has fulfilled its first milestone pursuant to its exclusive worldwide sublicense agreement for technology developed at the University of California, Berkeley for converting cellulose to ethanol.Under the License Agreement, CleanTech is required to make payments to HFTA upon meeting certain development milestones for validation and commercialization of the technology. The first milestone, which was recently met, required that CleanTech satisfactorily test the technology using equipment developed at the University of California, Berkeley and subsequently purchased by CleanTech, to generate fermentable sugars from municipal solid waste at efficiencies satisfactory to CleanTech.

The patented technology, initially developed and tested at the University of California, Berkeley, utilizes nitric acid for hydrolyzing cellulosic material, rather than sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, for the production of ethanol and other fuels from biomass in municipal solid waste. Sulfuric or hydrochloric acid is typically used in the industry for hydrolyzing biomass; however, CleanTech believes that nitric acid hydrolysis represents the cutting edge of current technology in the cellulosic ethanol industry. CleanTech also obtained a nonexclusive worldwide license to use the technology for all other feedstocks for producing ethanol.

The licensed technology is described in U.S. Patents No. 5221357, 5366558, 5536325, 5628830, and 6019900. The sublicense agreement is with HFTA, a company formed by the developers of the technology.

Also last week the company reported it has closed the merger of Biomass North America Licensing, Inc. into its wholly-owned subsidiary. CleanTech plans to move quickly to implement its newly acquired technology at a commercial waste transfer station in Chicago, Illinois to produce cellulosic biomass from municipal solid waste. In cooperation with the owner of the site, the permitting and approval process for construction of the plant is underway.

The cellulosic biomass to be produced at the facility can be used for a variety of purposes, including solid fuel for the production of electricity in existing coal-fired power plants. CleanTech has been approached by several utilities who desire to purchase the biomass from the proposed Chicago plant for use in existing power plants.

Investors are urged to continue to monitor the progress of the company!

Before the news was released, the stock closed Monday at Sixty One cents a share.
