[{"type":"text","content":"HOUSTON, TX, Sep 12, 2013 -- Global Clean Energy, Inc. (OTC PINK: GCEI) is pleased to announce\nthat its partner Nova ReNew of Halifax Nova Scotia has received financial and\ntechnical advisory support from the National Research Council of\nCanada-Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP), for research into the\nintegration of the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) volume reduction technology for\nthe Global Clean Energy and Nova ReNew-site. \n\nGCE recently confirmed its intentions to co-develop a\nturn-key plastic to fuel plant utilizing 6,000 tons of waste or end of life\nplastics annually and convert it to a high value fuel, with Nova ReNew Inc, in\nNova Scotia, Canada. \n\nNova ReNew Inc. has intellectual property rights to EPS\nvolume reduction technology, and spokesman Wayne Adams says, \"This presents\na potential global solution to what many jurisdictions dread as the major\nStyrofoam waste-problem. There are several municipalities that would love to\nsave the cost of landfill space by diverting EPS (Styrofoam) from their\nlandfills; each ton of EPS occupies 50 cubic meters of landfill space, which is\nvery expensive.\"\n\nDietmar Tholen, of Nova ReNew began the development of the\ntechnology to reduce the volume of EPS in 2007. In the following years Tholen\ndeveloped a process and bench scale process machinery that liquefies EPS and\nreduces the real volume by approximately 98% releasing all integrated gas and\nallowing for the precipitation of all impurities and contamination of processed\nEPS waste materials. \n\nGCE's COO, Brian Levine says, \"Plastics to fuel,\ncommonly referred to as P2O-plastics to oil, has been engineered and marketed\nin several European countries and in a few US cities in recent years; and we\nhave not identified other ventures that are integrating EPS volume reduction\ntechnology with P2O.\"\n\nGCE has quickly become the most diversified feedstock and\ntechnology aggregator in North America, securing feedstock rights in multiple\nindustries and industrial sectors including end of life plastics, tires, rubber\nhoses, Platinum Group Metals (PGM), wood and MSW. As a global technology\nintegrator, GCE has a broad spectrum of commercially proven best available\ntechnology (BAT) which allows GCE to match up technology with feedstock in\norder to maximize the fuel conversion value.
