Clenergen Corporation / Key word(s): Contract 30.11.2010 08:43 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chennai, India - November 30th, 2010: Clenergen Corporation (OTC: CRGE - BOERSE FRANKFURT: 9CE) today announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement ('MOA') with SV Sugar Mills Limited ('SVS') to take over operations of an existing 27MW/h biomass power plant (the 'Plant'), located next to the Clenergen's own 18MW/h plant in Kancheepuram, Tamilnadu, India. SVS will be responsible for funding all capital expenditure relating to the plant and, through an operating lease, Clenergen will be responsible for running the Plant and supplying SVS with a proportion of the power output. Once certain refurbishment works are complete, it is expected that the Plant will operate at 80% capacity and generate a net 22MW/h of electricity per annum, the balance of which will be sold through merchant power trading contracts at premium tariffs. In addition to operating the Plant, Clenergen intends to contract with SVS for the supply of bagasse from its sugar mill during the six month sugar cane season. Clenergen will use the bagasse as sustainable feedstock for its 18MW biomass plant and due to the proximity of the 2 plants transport costs will be dramatically reduced. The quantity of bagasse biomass in season is sufficient to operate the power plant throughout the year. Further collaboration between SVS and Clenergen is also being explored whereby Clenergen intends to procure the biogas (methane) from SVS to fuel a 2MW/h gas generator to be located at its existing 18MW/h biomass power plant site. Also, as SVS's operations extend to the procurement of wood chips from West Africa, SE Asia and South America. Clenergen and SVS are exploring the options for collaboration on fuel stock supplies. Commenting on the MOA, Mark Quinn, Executive Chairman of Clenergen Corporation, said 'The agreement to operate SVS's 27MW plant has the ability increase Clenergen's operating capacity to 51.5MW/h by the end of 2011 and to increase our projected run rate revenues to circa $40 million per annum. We expect the biomass plant to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2011 and we expect to operate the plant on a 24 hour basis thereafter'.
