Blue Sphere Announces Strategic Partnership with Beijing Clinci Energy and Environment Technology Co. Ltd., one of China's Leading Renewable Energy Technology Companies

EVEN YEHUDA, Israel, August 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

 

Blue Sphere Corp. (OTCBB: BLSP) (the "Company" or "Blue Sphere"), announces today that it has signed in July an agreement with Beijing Clinci Energy and Environment Technology Co. Ltd., an experienced Chinese company ("Clinci") with a proven technology to convert biomass to energy, to jointly implement 14 animal waste-to-energy projects in China.  These 14 projects have the potential to support over 70 megawatts capacity of power generation, produce organic compost and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, which, in turn, will make the projects eligible for carbon credits either under the Kyoto Protocol or the nascent, domestic Chinese regime.  Clinci has already successfully implemented over 30 similar projects and thus has a demonstrated track record in bringing renewable energy projects to fruition.

The terms of the agreement provide that Blue Sphere is in charge of investment feasibility evaluation and project investment.  Clinci is in charge of project data collection, project early stage development, technique solutions and equipment, procurement and construction.

"This agreement opens up for us China in a way that until now was not able to be contemplated.  Clinci is one of the biggest names in renewable energy technology in China and teaming up with them makes us a go-to company for renewable energy projects.  Aside from the 14 projects in our pipeline, together we have many other opportunities to develop projects in China," said Shlomi Palas, Blue Sphere's CEO. Currently, Blue Sphere and Clinci are opening a new joint venture company and are finalizing plans for project implementation at the first 14 sites.   "There is currently a tremendous demand in China for effective and proven technologies to convert waste and biomass to energy.  We aim to capitalize on this," added Blue Sphere's CEO, Shlomi Palas.
