Clean Coal Technologies, Inc., an emerging cleaner-energy company utilizing patented technology to convert raw coal into a cleaner burning and more efficient fuel, has announced the execution of an Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contract with SAIC Constructors, LLC, a subsidiary of Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC").
“This milestone contract is the first crucial step on the road to large-scale deployment of our unique proprietary technology”
Execution of the EPC , which was made through Clean Coal Technologies' joint venture entity, Good Coal PTE, Ltd. ("Good Coal"), is a major threshold event that sets in motion the construction of the 1:10-scale pilot facility that will facilitate the deployment of full-scale commercial facilities, expected to begin in 2013.
"This milestone contract is the first crucial step on the road to large-scale deployment of our unique proprietary technology," stated Robin Eves, Director, President and CEO of Clean Coal Technologies. "The successful operation of the pilot plant should also address the question of technology risk and confer a greater degree of leverage for us as we move forward in this most dynamic industry."
Chief Operating Officer Ignacio Ponce de Leon remarked, "Everyone at Clean Coal Technologies is absolutely thrilled to announce this game-changing contract. Not only does this represent the crucial step in getting a pilot facility constructed in the United States, it also represents a major validation in our belief that we have a globally leading technology. We look forward to announcing further developments in our progress as we begin to monetize our innovative clean coal technology around the world."
Through Good Coal, the Archean Group has committed the US $2.0 million for the construction of the pilot plant. Work on full-scale commercial plants in Indonesia will follow what the Company believes will be a successful commissioning of the pilot plant by year-end 2012, or early 2013.
Good Coal and Clean Coal Technologies are presently in negotiations with a major U.S. power company to locate the pilot plant on the site of its coal-fired power generation facility in Oklahoma.
