GreenShift to Provide Disaster Relief Services in Gulf Coast Region

GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF) is executing a strategic alliance agreement with NEIE, Inc., a service-disabled veteran owned environmental management company under contract with one of the prime contractors with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers responsible for debris management and other services in the afflicted gulf coast region. Under the terms of the agreement, NEIE has agreed to use the environmental engineering, waste management and operations management services and patented technologies of GreenShift’s various portfolio companies. The agreement calls for the use of GreenShift’s patented Tornado Generator(TM) technology and auxiliary systems for debris management and recycling on site at various locations in Louisiana and Texas and the surrounding areas. The parties expect to deploy an initial commercial scale Tornado Generator(TM) system in New Orleans as soon as possible for efficacy testing with a view towards a large scale rollout of the technology for debris management in the region. While Lt. Commander John “Whit” Davis, the chief executive officer of Tornado Trash Corporation, a wholly owned GreenShift portfolio company, will oversee deployment and operations for the initial system, GreenShift and NEIE plan to train and hire New Orleans and other area residents to operate Tornado Generator(TM) facilities on an […]

DOE Releases Draft Strategic Climate Change Plan

The Department of Energy has released for public review and comment a plan for accelerating the development and reducing the cost of new and advanced technologies that avoid, reduce, or capture and store greenhouse gas emissions the technology component of a comprehensive U.S. approach to climate change. The technologies developed under the Climate Change Technology program will be used and deployed among the United States’ partners in the Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development that was announced earlier this year. “This Strategic Plan is the first of its kind and will provide a comprehensive, long-term look at the role for advanced technology in addressing this important global concern,” David Conover, Director of the Climate Change Technology Program said. “This forward-looking document will allow us and our partners to drive and capitalize on technological innovation far into the future. The Asia-Pacific Partnership coupled with the technologies that we will develop will have a significant impact in addressing this long-term challenge.” The U.S. Climate Change Technology Program’s (CCTP) draft Strategic Plan provides strategic direction and organizes about $3 billion in federal spending for climate change-related technology research, development, demonstration, and deployment needed to both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and power economic growth.
