[{"type":"text","content":"Cielo Provides Operations Update and Announces Memorandum of Understanding to Build Renewable Fuel Refinery in Brooks, ABVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2019 / CSE: CMC: Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (\"Cielo\" or the \"Company\") announces that Renewable U Energy Inc. (\"Renewable U\") has exercised its option to enter into a joint venture with Cielo in the City of Brooks, Alberta, for the purposes of building one or more refineries. As such, Cielo and Renewable U have executed a binding Memorandum of Understanding (\"MOU\").Further, in response to recent inquiries regarding progress on the Company's desulfurization process, Cielo would like to provide an operations update.OPERATIONS UPDATE:As previously disclosed, Cielo has selected a third-party supplier to guide the Company with respect to the best and most economical way to remove the sulfur from Cielo's process (\"Supplier\"). The Supplier is based in the United States and, while it is well known and reputable, unfortunately the process has been slower than Cielo had anticipated. Cielo has made efforts to speed up the process and has been in consistent, weekly communication with the Supplier, however, as it is an unrelated third party, Cielo must rely on the timing of the Supplier.The Supplier has performed analysis on two samples of Cielo's renewable diesel and will perform a third. The first was completed in the fall, as previously announced. As the first sample consisted of very high percentages of used motor oil (\"UMO\"), which is being used to mix with the waste feedstock to make a slurry that is further broken down into the renewable diesel, the analysis indicated very high sulfur numbers. The second tested sample had a much lower UMO content, resulting in lower sulfur numbers that were much more in line with what Cielo had experienced in its demonstration plant. The third sample to be sent will consist of 99% sawdust, which is anticipated to indicate very low sulfur numbers, much better than Cielo was able to achieve in the demonstration plant, and is expected to result in a very high-grade renewable diesel with higher renewable content and Cetane numbers and a significantly lighter colour. Therefore, Cielo expects it is becoming easier and less expensive to remove the sulfur.To aid in expediting the analysis of the results from the selected desulfurization Sup...
