FirmGreen® Extends Its Leadership in Renewable Fuels with PlasmaTech Deal
NEWPORT BEACH, CA – NOV. 14, 2007— Today, FirmGreen, Inc.
(FGI) announces completion of an agreement with PlasmaTech Caribbean Corporation
(PlasmaTech) to become FirmGreen’s exclusive sub-Licensee of CO2
Wash® technology for the Caribbean region. Under this agreement, PlasmaTech
has placed on order a CO2 Wash unit for a biogas to fuels project located
in Puerto Rico.
The project will utilize CO2 Wash technology to process 300 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of biogas from an anaerobic digester into BioMethane. When construction is completed, the facility will provide cleaned methane (natural gas), representing the first facility domestically producing renewable methane on the island. Pure carbon dioxide (CO2) recovered from the process will be used in an area greenhouse to enhance crop production.
In March of 2006, FirmGreen reached an agreement with PlasmaTech Caribbean Corporation of San Juan, Puerto Rico to be its exclusive representative for projects in the Caribbean. They are currently evaluating several potential projects for the region.
“We are very pleased to have PlasmaTech as our partner in the Caribbean region.” Steve Wilburn, President & CEO of FGI states, “Their leadership in this region is complementary to our market in North America and promotes the development and growth of both companies.”
Enrique J. Ruiz, PlasmaTech Sales & Marketing VP says, “Our partnership with FirmGreen Energy allows us to expand our capabilities to provide environmentally sound recycling and clean renewable energy solutions throughout the Caribbean region and Latin America. As the world moves to address the Global Warming issue, a technology like the CO2 Wash provides an excellent alternative to properly manage one of the principal man-made sources of greenhouse gases, which is the uncontrolled release of biogas from landfills, as well as provide a cleaner fuel in the form of Compressed Natural Gas.”
Unlike traditional energy production facilities, which pollute in the process of producing energy, FirmGreen’s patented and proprietary landfill gas clean up technology results in improved air quality by utilizing landfill methane and CO2 as its feedstock for energy and fuel production.
