Carbon Friendly's MicroCoal Subsidiary Announces LOI for Commercial Facility with Ameren Corporation

Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA and Denver, Colorado USA, Dec 15, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via COMTEX) -- Carbon Friendly Solutions Inc. (CNSX - CFQ)("CFS" or the "Company") and its subsidiary MicroCoal Inc. ("MCI") are pleased to announce that Ameren has signed a Letter of Interest ("LOI") that reflects the intention of Ameren Corporation AEE +1.64% ("Ameren") and MCI to negotiate a term sheet and enter into a proposed license agreement relating to the deployment of MCI technology at one of Ameren's coal-fired power plants (the "Nominated Plant") in two main phases.

The first phase is proposed to commence in January, 2012 and consists of re-configuring MCI's previously announced four year old pilot plant in Colorado to determine the design for Ameren's plant in upgrading Powder River Basin (PRB) coal to higher energetic value (BTU rating).

The second phase involves the construction and operation of a fully integrated commercial plant, which will be able to treat 250,000 tons of PRB coal per month. This first commercial coal upgrading plant will be located at Ameren's Nominated Plant, located in the State of Missouri. It is a 1,000 Megawatt coal-fired plant and burns approximately 3 million tons of coal annually. The Nominated Plant is one of the largest among the 11 coal-fired plants owned by Ameren.

Using the internationally patented MCI process, an MCI plant located on-site of the coal power generation station uses the station's off-peak slack electricity capacity to remove large amount of water from coal, and increase the BTU rating of the coal. The technology also has the ability to remove contaminants, in addition to allowing utilities to use PRB coal without suffering a loss in generation capacity (derate). PRB coal contains lower contaminant levels (such as sulfur) than the higher BTU Eastern coals, such as Illinois Basin (ILB) coal.

When compared to raw coal from Montana and Wyoming's Powder River Basin, MCI treated coal at the Nominated Plant will have approximately 15 percent more energetic value in addition to reductions in carbon dioxide, mercury, sulfur dioxide, and nitrous oxides. Results will vary based on the type and source of the coal.

Benzi Livneh, Director of CFS and CEO of MCI states:

"We are very pleased to have reached this milestone with Ameren, one of America's ten largest utilities and an acknowledged innovative leader. We have worked closely with Ameren for many months, examining their coal and understanding the needs of the Nominated Plant. This LOI is a testament to the detailed and dedicated work by teams from both Ameren and MCI, and is a validation of the technology's potential."
