Green Energy Resources Lands Consulting Contract for $350 Million International Carbon Credit Project (CDM)

Green Energy Resources (Pink Sheets:GRGR) has landed a consulting contract with 2 international companies to restore forest land in Nicaragua devastated by Hurricane Felix in 2007. One company is based in Nicaragua, the other in Brazil. The Brazil based company will conduct the CDM project, scientific analysis and follow United Nations methodology requirements. The Nicaragua company will work with local communities on the reforestation plans. Green Energy Resources will act as a consultant and advisor in planning and carbon credit strategy. The project calls to reforest about 250,000 acres of land and generate about $350 million in carbon credits through the UN CDM (clean development mechanism) under the European Trading Scheme (ETS). Green Energy Resources is positioned to earn up to $20 million dollars over the next 3-10 years through the project. The CDM allows participants to earn carbon credits from Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by creating carbon sinkholes. The project has direct benefits for local communities in Nicaragua. Green Energy Resources has been seeking a project since November 2006. The project is the first for Green Energy in carbon trading and follows through on its long term commitments. 

In other news, Green Energy Resources is set to commence its first order of about 1000 tons of woodchips to a major US power generator in March. The order is a first step of a 10 year supply contract announced last June. The total value of the contract over 10 years is in excess of $500,000,000.

Export shipments of woodchips from the Mid-Atlantic states have been hampered by two back-to-back blizzards. Shipments have been delayed about 1 month as the area tries to recover from the storms. The storms have created a temporary shortage of woodchip supply.
