HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Sep 5, 2014) - Global Clean Energy, Inc. (
The Company has successfully concluded testing of tire derived carbon char with Intertex World Resources, Inc., Akron, Ohio, a global leader in the distribution of Carbon Black. The carbon char was produced in the pyrolysis systems that GCE will be acquiring from China. Preliminary testing validates GCE's conclusion that tire derived carbon char can be an alternative to virgin carbon black as a replacement in the dye, coloration and pigmentation markets currently being served with virgin carbon black. This creates an opportunity for the successful deployment of GCE's pyrolysis tire to fuel projects once the purchase agreement is finalized.
GCE has also finalized negotiations for a long term tire feedstock agreement with one of the largest tire recyclers in North America. Further, carbon char testing will be concluded by Intertex World Resources, Inc. in the next 60 days and will lead to a purchase agreement between Intertex World Resources and GCE's tire to fuel pyrolysis project for the 3,400 tons per year of carbon char which will be produced from their upcoming plant. GCE currently has 3 of the 4 contracts required to successfully develop a pyrolysis tire to fuels plant being: tire chip feedstock agreement, plant site location, and off-take agreement for transportation fuel. The carbon char purchase agreement will finalize the 4th agreement required to successfully implement a tire to fuel plant.
