Today, Wall Street News Alert reported on CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (CLTH), Green Chip Review, SmallCap Voice, OTC Reporter, Knobias, and OTC Picks did earlier, and we are highlighting them as well here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

CleanTech Biofuels, Inc., with corporate headquarters in St. Louis , Missouri , is a company with technology that is capable of converting municipal solid waste into ethanol and other products. The company trades on NASDAQ's OTCBB as part of the Specialty Chemicals industry. Their focus as a corporation is on improving and commercializing their core technologies. They also seek to acquire complementary technologies to develop clean energy from waste.

The company believes that by using the existing municipal solid waste collection and disposal infrastructure to collect biomass, they can achieve profitability quickly. They believe this is a more efficient route than developing an infrastructure to collect and transport expensive feedstocks such as sugar cane, corn, switchgrass, wood waste, or corn stover. They also believe that biomass derived from garbage will not be subject to commodity price increases that producers manufacturing ethanol from corn experience.

Municipal biorefineries developed using their technology will be able to reduce the costs of transporting waste long distances for disposal, and reduce pollution emissions by the disposal of municipal solid waste. The biorefineries will also reduce the amount of material going into landfills and increase the amount of recyclable materials recoverable from municipal solid waste. They will also be capable of generating biofuels and other usable energy products at competitive prices.

In July, CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. signed an agreement with Biomass North America Licensing, Inc. to acquire the company via merger. Biomass North America Licensing, Inc. owns the rights to use a proprietary and patent-pending technology for the production of cellulosic biomass from municipal solid waste in the United States and Canada . The agreement provides for the development of a commercial site using the licensed technology at a transfer station currently operating in Chicago , Illinois . A principal shareholder of Biomass North America owns the proposed site for the commercial development.

This week CleanTech said they closed the merger of Biomass North America Licensing Inc. into their wholly owned subsidiary.

CleanTech plans to implement their newly acquired technology, quickly, at a commercial waste transfer station in Chicago to produce cellulosic biomass from municipal solid waste. The permitting and approval process for construction of the plant is now underway. The Company said they have received inquiries from utilities that want to buy biomass from the proposed Chicago plant for use in existing power plants.

Yesterday, CleanTech Biofuels announced that they fulfilled their first milestone concerning their exclusive worldwide sublicense agreement for technology developed at the University of California , Berkeley for converting cellulose to ethanol. Under the License Agreement, they are required to make payments to HFTA upon meeting development milestones for validation and commercialization of the technology. University of California , Berkeley, scientists who developed technology using nitric acid to hydrolyze biomass, formed HFTA.

The first milestone required that CleanTech satisfactorily test the technology using equipment developed at the University of California, Berkeley. After purchasing the equipment, CleanTech was to generate fermentable sugars from municipal solid waste at efficiencies satisfactory to the Company. They recently met this milestone.
