MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Oct 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
EcoloCap Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: ECOS) ("EcoloCap") today announced that
it has signed an exclusive Greenhouse Gas Offset Management Services and
Representation agreement with CantorCO2e LLC and its affiliates
("CantorCO2e") to develop and market EcoloCap's growing portfolio of
potential Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) as well as pre-Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) Verified Emission Reductions (VERs). This
agreement significantly enhances EcoloCap's ability to access a wider
range of CER and VER buyers and will permit EcoloCap to increase its rate
of generation of additional CERs.
Dr. Tri Vu Truong, President and CEO of EcoloCap said "we see this as a
major step forward by EcoloCap. We evaluated several alternatives in
order to find the best way to market our CERs and VERs, and to achieve
the best prices for our expanding CER and VER portfolio. We feel that
CantorCO2e will give us the best results and we look forward to working
closely with them to build increased value for our shareholders."
EcoloCap is currently focusing its marketing efforts on China and Vietnam
and a range of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects have already
been secured which represent an annual volume of over 1,000,000 CERs with
most CER contracts being multiple-year. Current prices for CERs on the
World Market can range up to 19 Euros (approx. US$25.50).
Corinne Boone, Managing Director, CantorCO2e said "we are looking forward
to working with EcoloCap to develop its portfolio of potential CERs and
VERs and market them to our global client base. The diversity of the
project portfolio and the potential for growth could represent a
significant addition to CER and VER markets."
Dr. Truong added "our agreement with CantorCO2e enables EcoloCap to
immediately increase our marketing efforts to secure more CDM projects.
As well, CantorCO2e's experience and expertise will enable us to more
efficiently achieve accreditation of these projects so that the CERs and
VERs can be sold more quickly."
EcoloCap's objective is to double its total CER reserves over the next
six to nine months, with an initial target of accumulating a portfolio of
5 million CERs annually.
