Carbon Friendly Solutions Inc. Signs "MOU" With Major Iron and Steel Producer in China

Marketwired Canada
Carbon Friendly Solutions Inc. (CNSX:CFQ) (the "Company" or "Carbon Friendly")
is pleased to announce that the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Microcoal International Inc. ("MCI"), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding
("MOU") with Hebei Iron and Steel Group Limited ("HBIS"), a major iron and steel
producer in China, setting out the terms for a detailed project design package
to be developed for a large scale industrial facility. HBIS utilizes
approximately 9 million tonnes of coal per year to produce steel. Microcoal
technology has been developed to reduce input costs, optimize operational
performance and decrease environmental footprint.
Microcoal is focused on upgrading coal through the use of their patented
technology. International Energy Agency ("IEA") statistics indicate that China
is one of the largest thermal and metallurgical coal markets worldwide. Thermal
coal is primarily used for generating electricity, while metallurgical coal,
which must contain specific coking properties, is used in steelmaking. China
produces 51% of the world's metallurgical coal making it world's largest
producer and consumer of metallurgical coal, accounting for over 500 million
tonnes of consumption in 2010. (Source: IEA & World Steel Association)
Further, Carbon Friendly reports that its second visit to China has been
successful in establishing a number of relationships with coal-fired utilities,
which may provide significant opportunities for Microcoal's patented technology,
given that China relies on coal for 79% of its electricity generation.
CEO of Carbon Friendly, Slawek Smulewicz states: "On behalf of the Company, I
would like to thank Ms. Li Yan, our representative, and her local team in China,
for establishing relationships and organizing meetings which led to the signing
of this MOU with HBIS, one of the world's largest steel manufacturers."
