Great Lakes Biogas Technologies Inc. Announces Americas License for the Revolution Compactor

MARIETTA, GA--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 1, 2008 -- Mr. Miles Reimersma, President of Great Lakes Biogas Technologies Inc. (Other OTC:GLBS.PK - News) (Frankfurt:CS4.F - News), announced today that his Company has entered into a second agreement with Zero Waste Biogas Systems Inc. to acquire a license to market its UK-based compaction technology, the Revolution compactor, throughout the Americas. The Revolution is a unique densification technology that achieves higher compaction ratios than conventional compactor equipment and it de-waters and compacts waste in a single operation.

The Revolution compacts waste for ease of transportation. With plastics it has an impressive 50 to 1 compaction ratio. Bruce Coxhead, President and CEO of Zero Waste, said, "All waste producers are becoming sensitive to the cost of shipping the liquids that make up the majority of wet wastes, and the air that makes up the majority of dry wastes. They want to find a way to remove both of them before they are loaded onto a truck and disposed of, both at great expense. The Revolution compactor removes both air and liquids, highly reducing the cost of transportation. Some examples of its use is to de-water wood pulp, concentrate packaging waste like soda pop and shampoos, and complete product destruction of electronic and automotive parts."

The technology is also a great fit with Great Lakes' high-efficiency anaerobic digester as it divides waste into two streams. With wet waste, the liquid slurry stream from organic wastes can be used as feed in digesters and will improve the digesters efficiency by not including indigestible non organic waste. Zero Waste has identified several waste streams that can be used in conjunction with the digester and compactor such as animal renderings, vegetable processor wastes, soups and dairy products.

Great Lakes sees lots of potential in this technology. In the UK and France alone it has a base of 320 installed units in many Fortune 500 companies. The Revolution compactor is one of the most efficient compactors on the market, it can offer a ROI in less than a year, and it is a good strategic fit with Great Lakes anaerobic digesters.

GREAT LAKES BIOGAS TECHNOLOGIES INC. ANNOUNCES WORLDWIDE LICENSE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODULAR ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF FARM AND FOOD WASTE.
 
Great Lakes Biogas will be the first to bring high-efficiency small-scale biogas systems to agri-business operators.
 
Mr. Miles Reimersma, President of Great Lakes Biogas Technologies Inc. ( OTC: GLBS, DE: CS4 ) announced today that his Company has reached an agreement in principle with Zero Waste Energy Systems Inc. (ZWES) of Kleinburg, Ontario, to acquire a license to market its high-efficiency, small scale thermophilic systems to farms and agri-businesses throughout North America and Europe.
 
These systems, developed by EEC Energy Limited (“EEC”) of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and acquired by ZWES under an IP purchase agreement, are designed to scale precisely to virtually any size of operation, and dispose of organic waste streams while generating useable power and heat for the farm or business.  Unlike larger and less productive mesophilic (ambient heat) systems the ZWES system adds sufficient system heat to produce a significantly higher volume of methane from the feedstock while destroying 99.99999% of all potentially harmful pathogens.  By replacing fossil energy and heat with renewable energy from waste, the EEC system will also generate significant carbon credits, which will be shared with the customer.

Bruce Coxhead, President and Chief Operating Officer of ZWES, said, “with fossil fuel prices hitting record levels and continuing upwards, it is a very exciting time for truly innovative renewable energy solutions – and we believe we have a world beater. We feel fortunate to have teamed up with a visionary company in Great Lakes Biogas Technologies that understands the huge potential of our modular high-efficiency digester to revolutionize the distributed energy sector”.  Mr. Coxhead added, “The EEC technology represents a major breakthrough in enabling agri-business to generate their own power and heat, in many cases potentially going off the grid because of the ability of our technology to unlock the tremendous energy reserves stored in waste streams that previously represented a costly disposal expense items that agri-business had to bear. We intend to change all that – one farm and one agri-business at a time”.

A single EEC digester can produce up to 200 kilowatts of clean energy from 18 tonnes per day of animal manure and food waste combined for optimal performance.  These waste streams can be blended for use in groupings of up to 50 or more units to produce as much as 10 MW of electricity to replace fossil power and 20 MW of heat energy to replace the use of natural gas.

It is anticipated that the EEC distributed energy solution will be scalable to, and highly cost-effective for, virtually any livestock or food processing operation in North America or Europe.  It will extract the maximum amount of electrical and heat energy from the available organic wastes, eliminating harmful pathogens from the digestate with its high operating temperatures.

American Alternative Energy Systems Corp. Announces Waste to Energy Rights Acquisition

Proven Gasifier Technology Converts Most Difficult Waste Streams Into Local Renewable Energy

DENTON, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 25, 2008 -- American Alternative Energy Systems Energy Corp. (Other OTC:AATV.PK - News) company president Jeff Kulman announced today that the Company has reached an agreement in principle with Waste to Energy (Canada) Gasification Systems Inc. of Toronto, Ontario to obtain the distribution rights to the patented Waste to Energy ("WTE") downdraft gasifier technology for the Americas. The system was developed in the mid 90s in the UK, and was originally designed to produce energy from sewage sludge and other toxic organic wastes. Please feel free to visit www.waste-to-energy.co.uk for more details regarding this technology.

Recently the technology has been significantly upgraded so that it can process virtually any type of municipal solid waste stream, plus commercial and industrial wastes.

The WTE system is modular, with the biggest module capable of processing up to one dry tonne per hour of waste. This makes it ideal for processing small local waste streams, and in particular sewage sludge that has already been "digested" to remove most of the volatile organic materials. The WTE gasifier can convert sewage sludge, especially combined with other dry wastes such as municipal solid waste streams, to produce efficient engineered fuels for local power and steam production.

Dr. Wayne Maddever, Chief Executive Officer of Waste to Energy (Canada) Limited, said, "This is an exciting time in the renewable energy business, and we feel fortunate to have teamed up with a visionary company in American Alternative Energy Systems that understands the huge potential of our gasifier to revolutionize the waste to energy sector." Dr. Maddever added, "The WTE technology represents a significant breakthrough in the way we will destroy troublesome waste streams while producing local renewable energy. The focus of the waste to energy sector has evolved over the past few years away from incineration with waste heat recovery towards very efficient, low-emission gasification systems that produce a combustible gas, rather than simply burning the material to generate heat to produce steam." Dr. Maddever emphasized, "This relatively low BTU 'syngas' works extremely well with the new breed of specialized combined heat and power ('CHP') systems and maximizes the overall usage of the stored energy in the waste, while minimizing the huge volumes of NOx (nitrous oxides) produced by incineration of waste streams with free-flowing air."

As a result, Dr. Maddever contemplates a huge market for these small, modular systems, which can be multiplexed to service all but the largest waste processing facilities. "We at WTE Canada see an opportunity to provide a clean, inexpensive way of converting the most difficult and noxious waste streams into the maximum possible amount of energy, with no impact on the environment except a positive one."

American Alternative Energy Systems Inc. Signs Marketing Contract With North American Firm to Promote Anaerobic Digesters

DENTON, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 23, 2008 -- American Alternative Energy Systems Inc. (Other OTC:AATV.PK - News) -- American Alternative Energy Systems Corp. (AAESC), a company focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and making a more sustainable environment through renewable energy, has enlisted the services of a North American marketing firm to promote the company's Anaerobic Digester Systems. The firm has been contracted to focus its market in the dairy farming industry throughout North America. American Alternative Energy Systems have concluded testing on the prototype digester that has been tailored to meet to the needs of processing bio-waste in the dairy farm industry.
