Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. Engages Green Giant Venture Fund to Develop Carbon Credit Assets
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 14, 2012 -- Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET, the "Company") announced today that they have engaged Green Giant Venture Fund, ("GGVF") who will provide services to the Company that include, but are not limited to; assessing the potential of CWET's emission reduction project on the worldwide carbon markets and estimating the expected revenue generation, providing access to Carbon Finance using GGVF extensive network of partners, investigation of CWET's emission reduction potential with respect to registration, provide guidance to CWET on their emission reduction project through all the steps that are required to generate carbon credits and facilitating the forward sale of emission reductions.
Carbon Credits
Green Giant Venture Fund initial estimates, developed under the appropriate United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)/CDM Methodology and the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), reflect that CWET's project will reduce 5.7 Million tons of CO2 per year. These estimates are calculated 10 years forward resulting in a yearly value of $17.1 M USD, and total value over the 10-year crediting period of $170 Million USD for each individual Downdraft Tower.
Abundant, Clean, Affordable Energy
As designed, the Company anticipates that each Downdraft Tower could generate enough electricity to power up to 1,600,000 homes using the guidelines set forth in the California Statewide Residential Appliance Saturation Study, 2004. As an independent power producer of clean renewable energy, the Company will not be selling power directly to consumers but rather to the grid. As currently designed, the Company anticipates that each Downdraft Tower will be capable of generating 1,100 megawatts per hour of salable electricity to the grid. One megawatt equates to 1,000,000 watts or 1,000 kilowatts of electricity. Currently, avoided costs per kilowatt in California are running approximately $0.11 per kilowatt hour.
Ronald W. Pickett, Chairman and CEO of Clean Wind Energy Tower, stated "We are pleased to engage GGVF to develop the Company's carbon credit project as GGVF not only has the know-how and experience to develop the required Project Design Documents, but also the capability to facilitate the forward sale of credit through GGVF's international buyers/clients."
