DALLAS, Feb. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- Alternet Systems, Inc. (USOTC: ALYI) (“ALYI”) today announced that the company has been receiving substantial interest from notable investors exploring opportunities to buy in to Alternet's hemp energy initiative.  Since bringing Clarkson University Professor David Mitlin on board to lead and hemp energy storage initiative, and in combination with the recent legalization of hemp farming in the U.S. under the 2018 Farm Act, Alternet has been the recipient of substantive investor interest. Professor Mitlin is a leading expert in electrochemistry and a pioneer in the use of hemp as a clean, green, renewable energy in the form of a supercapacitor. Mitlin has successfully used hemp bast - the fiber left over from processing hemp - to construct carbon nanosheets that compete with, and in some respects, outperform the supercapacitor performance derived from more typical graphene nanosheets.  Mitlin holds a U.S. Patent for his hemp energy storage invention.  "We are fairly well down the road in discussions with notable investors and believe shareholders can soon expect to hear from us a major announcement in regard to a significant upgrade of our hemp energy initiative," said Ed Bollen, President of Altnet Systems.
