Cleantech Transit Inc. (CLNO)

Cleantech Transit Inc. (CLNO) was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector.

Biomass energy is renewable source of energy that is found in plants. Biomass is a known product or material that is found in most living things. It can be animal material, bacteria, or plant materials. Biomass energy is created when the biomass is collected and burned slowly to create steam. Generators then use the steam to turn it into heat and energy. It is believed that this is a very clean type of natural gas as it requires the plants to absorb the carbon dioxide from the environment before it can be used as a viable energy source.

Biomass energy is better for the environment than the burning of fossil fuels that is commonplace today. It is also a renewable energy source making it a very environmentally friendly energy alternative.The oldest example that we have of biomass energy today is wood, which we can burn to produce heat and to create steam which therefore, produces energy.

Cleantech Transit Inc. (CLNO) has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects that can maximize shareholder value. 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).
