Cielo announces signing of world exclusive technology license agreement
Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (“Cielo” or the “Company”) announced today that it has signed a World Exclusive License Agreement dated June 14, 2016 (the “License Agreement”) with 1888711 Alberta Inc. (“1888711”) for the further development of its renewable diesel refinery technology.
Pursuant to the License Agreement, Cielo has granted a worldwide exclusive license to 18887711 to complete development and engineering of the intellectual property assets it had acquired in or around July 2014 from Blue Horizon Biodiesel Inc. (the “IP Assets”). 18887711 has already begun to complete the development and engineering and anticipates to be able to be ready to build the refineries in 2016. At that time, the IP Assets will be a complete technology (the “Technology”), ready for patenting and turning into refineries for production, sale and licensing (the “Refineries”).
Further pursuant to the License Agreement, Cielo has obtained from 18887711 an exclusive and perpetual license to commercialize the Technology, which will be done by building Refineries for the production of renewable diesel as well as sublicensing the Technology to third parties to build Refineries.
Cielo has agreed to pay royalties and commissions to 18887711 from the commercialization of the Technology. Cielo has also been granted a right of first refusal to purchase the Technology, all intellectually property and any and all patents relating to this technology.
The Technology is the result of years of research and development from using all types of waste streams, such as landfill garbage, tires, plastics, wood shavings and sawdust, newspaper and cardboard and producing renewable kerosene for the aircraft industry, renewable highway diesel for the federal and provincial mandated blending requirements with fossil fuel diesel and renewable naptha for blending with gasoline.
Don Allan, President of Cielo, stated “This is a game changing technology that we wish to use in the construction at our Edmonton facility. The Licensor has proven to Cielo that it can produce a product that is in very short supply and receives a heavy premium to the wholesale diesel market. We are now working with engineers and 18887711 on plot plans and construction drawings. These are very exciting times for Cielo as we continue to move forward with the construction of what we are hoping to be the very greenest refinery to be built in North America and very pleased to be able to do this in the heart of Canadian refining industry.”
Marcel Scherger, Director of 1888711, stated “We have been working very closely with Cielo and have full belief in Cielo’s ability to take our technology to commercial realization. We are very proud of the technology as a solution to the world’s waste problem and the ability to provide a green fuel for the world’s requirements. Cielo has managed to find an amazing location and has secured feedstocks and offtake agreements that allow the best chance of success and we look very forward in continuing to build on our professional relationship with Cielo in the many years to come.”
The License Agreement does not constitute a related party transaction under MI 61-101, however, Don Allan, director, president and CEO of Cielo is also an officer and director of 1887711, Mel Angeltvedt, a director of Cielo, is also a director of 18887711 and Robin Ray, a director of Cielo, is the Chief Financial Officer of 18887711.
Further details of the terms and conditions can be viewed in the License Agreement, posted on SEDAR.
