President Bush to Address Nation on Global Warming Issue Tonight
FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Jan. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cemtrex Inc.
(OTC:CTEX) provided the following update on North American carbon
markets after attending the Point Carbon event in Washington, D.C.
on January 17-18, 2007: The U.S. is moving toward serious programs
and regulations aimed at controlling greenhouse gas emissions on
several fronts. President Bush will present the emerging strategy
in his State of the Union address tonight, but there is no advance
knowledge of what strategy, possibly from several currently
proposed in the Senate and Congress, will emerge. The
McCain-Lieberman Bill (2003-2004) may be revisited in light of new
activities (RGGI and California). Action to implement a plan in the
U.S. is promised by mid-2007, with an emphasis on developing
alternatives to dependence on foreign oil while taking on the
challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Barbara Boxer
(D-CA) is proposing a cap on GHG emissions similar to that
implemented recently in California to reduce U.S. emissions by 80%
by 2050. In light of these developments, the Point Carbon event
sent a message to the attendees including the public and private
sectors to build on the foundations of the Kyoto Protocol and the
European Union Emissions Trading System, rather than develop a
collection of isolated and regional trading systems with voluntary
and/or capped emissions reductions requirements. Global warming is
"global" and demands global participation and harmonization of
policy. Commonality of CO2-e credits and values is required for
linkages among developing climate exchange markets to facilitate
development of a global trading system suited to rapid
implementation and market distributed financial resources. Cemtrex
is already geared to these market needs in the interest of
concerted efforts to greatly reduce global warming through
pollution control design engineering, monitoring instrument systems
and turnkey development and support of Cap-and-Trade and CDM/JI
projects. Cemtrex provides turnkey services for carbon creation
projects from abatement of greenhouse gases pursuant to the Kyoto
Protocol and assists project owners in the buying and selling of
carbon credits globally. Cemtrex through its MIP division is
engaged in manufacturing and selling the most advanced and
custom-engineered instruments for emission monitoring. The
Company's products are sold to power plants, refineries, chemical
plants, cement plants and other industries, including federal and
state governmental agencies. Safe Harbor Statement This press
