(CSE:CMC), (OTCQB:CWSFF), (CNSX:CMC.CN), (\"Cielo\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has received a conditional grant from Alberta Innovates in the amount of CDN$500,000.00 toward the nearly CDN$900,000.00 needed for a commercial feedstock demonstration of used railway ties at its pilot facility in Aldersyde, Alberta.The commercial trial must first be granted approval from Alberta Environment & Parks (\"AEP\"). Cielo's engineers have been working since last fall to complete the material testing, bench-scale trials and process modeling that will help facilitate approval from AEP. Cielo intends to then implement a 100 tonne demonstration, followed by a larger 500 tonne demonstration.

The current feedstock agreement is for up to 1,000,000 used railway ties per year with incentives in place to increase this number.Don Allan, President and CEO of Cielo, stated \"We believe that the eyes of the Railway Tie Association are on us to see these results and that, when successful, Cielo will have the most environmentally friendly solution for 10's of millions of used railway ties per year from all across North America.
