Plasco to Sign Major Agreement During China State Visit
June 23, 2010, OTTAWA - China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (CECEP) and Plasco Energy Group have announced that they will be signing an agreement to establish a Joint Venture corporation, CECEP-Plasco China Corp, tomorrow during China’s state visit to Canada.
CECEP Plasco China will be based in China and jointly owned by the two companies. Plasco Energy will provide its world leading Plasco Conversion System technology to be delivered in China only through this Joint Venture. CECEP agrees that CECEP and its subsidiaries will use the Plasco Conversion System for all development in China of projects to recover energy from waste.
“We can make a big difference in cutting global warming causing gasses from landfill in the world’s
fastest growing economy with one of the largest populations on earth through this partnership.” said Plasco CEO Rod Bryden, “This technology, developed right here in Ottawa, can help communities all around the world to handle waste and contribute to our green energy future starting right now.”

exciting for both companies,” said Wang Xiaokang, President of CECEP. “Soon, not only Ottawa and
Beijing, but communities across all of China will handle their municipal waste in the most environmentally friendly way, producing clean, reliable energy and usable materials. Garbage will truly become a resource rather than a waste.”
