Cleantech Transit Inc. ("Cleantech") (OTCBB:CLNO) was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. The Company 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 (phoenixenergy.net). This project can generate shareholder returns as well benefit the Company's manufacturing clients worldwide.

CLNO announced freshly that funding to be provided to Phoenix Energy for the commercialization of a 500 Kilowatt biomass gasification plant should be eligible to apply for a renewable energy cash back incentive program offered by the U.S. Federal Government. If it concludes its planned investment in Phoenix Energy, under Section 1603 of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, Cleantech Transit will be entitled to receive its pro-rata share of 30% cash grant payments. Once the final interconnect process and application are complete the grant should be received within 60 days. The 5-year grant vesting period, means all parties must remain owner of record for that length of time, underscoring Cleantech and its partners' commitment to this project and the host community.

A usable application for wood waste as a fuel is in the co-firing of conventional coal-fired boilers, which means using biomass as a supplementary energy source in highefficiency boilers.

Retrofitting most existing systems for cofiring requires relatively minor modifications and can
significantly decrease emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.

Also, new developments such as gasification technologies offer dramatic improvements in process efficiency and could have a significant impact on the industry.
