Cielo Secures Strategic Financing & Announces Signing of an Exclusive Technology License


Surrey, British Columbia (FSCwire) - June 26, 2014 / CSE:CMC / Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. ("Cielo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Cielo has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with a private investor on behalf of a special purpose corporation to be formed (the “SPC”) to provide funding of up to CAD $10 million (the “Funding”) for the construction of the Companies first 700 liter per hour (“lph”) commercial scale renewable diesel refinery (the “First Refinery”). The SPC will thereafter have the right of first refusal to provide additional funding of up to CAD $1 Billion to build up to 100 additional 700 lph refineries throughout Canada (the “ROFR Refineries”).

The SPC will fund upgrades and technical changes (Engineering, Catalyst and Equipment Replacements) to the existing demonstration plant located in Red Deer Alberta.  Upon confirmation that the Company is able to produce renewable diesel meeting American Standard of Testing and Materials Standards for highway grade number 2 diesel, the SPC will provide funding for the First Refinery. Cielo intends to further advance the process in order to produce number 1 diesel for the aircraft industry.

In consideration for providing the Funding, the SPC will receive 50% ownership of the intellectual property associated with the refining technology, 90% of net revenues from the First Refinery until the Funding is repaid, and thereafter a 70% ownership of the New Refinery.  Cielo will pay to SPC CAD $500,000 on every Refinery sold.  SPC will also receive a royalty equal to $0.02 per litre from all refineries.

The parties intend to enter into a definitive agreement setting out the terms of the working relationship between Cielo and SPC as soon as practicable.

Don Allan, President of Cielo, stated “We now have secured an excellent strategic partner who understands the massive potential of our technology and the worldwide market we are looking to capture.  This is an excellent opportunity for Cielo, as the announced financial arrangement is non-dilutive to our shareholders and does not carry the burden of debt. This financing provides Cielo with the opportunity to become a major renewable diesel producer using abundant Municipal Solid Wastes from landfills and waste transfer sites throughout Canada.”

Cielo is also pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement for exclusive rights of its Waste To Fuel refining technology to New Fuel International Inc. ("NFI") of Seattle, Washington U.S.A. The agreement is effective as of June 24th, 2014.  NFI shall have the exclusive right to market and produce renewable biofuel derived from industrial biomass waste streams initially in the U.S. states of California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii and Alaska, and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Ontario. New Fuel’s responsibilities in the agreement will include securing the above specified biomass feedstock, triggering offtake agreements, managing operations, marketing, sales, and providing financing for the different NFI projects.  Jerauld Bessette, CMO of NFI, stated "We are eager to start working with Cielo, we have spent years reviewing technologies around  the  world, and we believe Cielo has developed an industry changing technology that will help Washington State and other jurisdictions become carbon natural through the production of low carbon, high grade renewable diesel fuel".  

Don Allan, President of Cielo, stated “NFI has a very experienced management team and together we can build a rewarding renewable diesel business from industrial biomass waste streams.  NFI have already made significant inroads in securing a large supply of feedstock and we look forward to building a very successful and prosperous relationship with NFI”.
