Global Green Solutions and Sappi Limited sign Agreement for
Biomass Energy Generation Project in Southern Africa
======================================================================
Johannesburg, South Africa -- March 11, 2008 -- Global Green Solutions
Inc. (GGRN:OTCBB Cusip 37947A105), an international ecotechnology
company, and Sappi Limited, a leading producer of pulp and paper
worldwide, have signed a letter of agreement to install GGRN's
Greensteam system at Sappi's Usutu pulp mill in Swaziland, Southern
Africa, subject to completion of a successful feasibility study. The
Greensteam system will generate process steam through the combustion of
waste biomass from forest felling, cuttings and tree bark. The project
seeks to optimize the use of available biomass and could include
replacing an older less efficient boiler with the high efficiency, low
air emissions Greensteam process.
"Greensteam is a perfect fit for Sappi and Southern Africa," said Doug
Frater, president and CEO of Global Green Solutions. "It substitutes
renewable energy for fossil fuel, mitigates energy shortages and is
economic, sustainable and environmentally friendly."
"This is a strategic step towards Sappi's goal to implement a
sustainable renewable energy program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and increase energy efficiency. The project will also lessen Sappi's
dependence on fossil fuel-based power from the grid and provide local
employment opportunities," said Bertus van der Merwe, technical
director for Sappi Southern Africa.
A definitive contract is targeted for July 2008 and plans call for the
Greensteam facility to be operational by September 2009. Global Green
Solutions Inc., in conjunction with Global Green Solutions PTY LTD and
South Africa strategic partners, will build, own and operate the
Greensteam facility.
