Calculation Tool For City Government Use

Project Two Degrees Demonstrated at C40 Summit in Seoul, Korea

SEATTLE, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- In an ongoing effort to combat global climate
change, Ascentium Corporation announced today its partnership with the Clinton
Climate Initiative (CCI), a project of the William J. Clinton Foundation,
Microsoft Corporation and Autodesk on Project Two Degrees
(www.project2degrees.org), an Internet-based software application that
provides cities with a set of tools used to measure greenhouse gas emissions
at the local level.

Ascentium, a global digital agency, is responsible for the end-to-end
architecture and development of the Project Two Degrees software application,
which enables participating city administrations to establish a greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions baseline, manage inventories, create action plans and track
the effectiveness of emissions reduction programs for municipal operations and
the communities they serve. With these tools, cities can take meaningful
action in curbing local and regional impacts from climate change, while
conserving energy and saving money.

Project Two Degrees will be demonstrated at the third annual C40 Summit in
Seoul, Korea on May 18 - 21, 2009. The Summit, which brings together
representatives from approximately 70 cities across the world, is
collaboration between the Clinton Climate Initiative and C40, a group of the
world's largest cities united by their commitment to tackling climate change.
Participants in C40 received the first invitations to begin using the Project
Two Degrees software.

"We feel very honored to have been able to play a key role in developing
Project Two Degrees. We believe that this greenhouse gas software application
has the potential to become the standard measuring tool used world-wide to
establish a common and agreed upon metric for greenhouse gas emissions, both
for cities, governments, as well as private industry," said Jim Beebe,
President of Ascentium.

ABOUT CLINTON CLIMATE INITIATIVE

The William J. Clinton Foundation launched the Clinton Climate Initiative
(CCI) to create and advance solutions to the core issues driving climate
change. Working with governments and businesses around the world to tailor
local solutions that are economically and environmentally sustainable, CCI
focuses on three strategic program areas: increasing energy efficiency in
cities, catalyzing the large-scale supply of clean energy, and working to
measure and value the carbon absorbed by forests. In each of these programs,
CCI uses a holistic approach to address the major sources of greenhouse gas
emissions and the people, policies, and practices that impact them. CCI serves
as the action arm of the C40, an association of large cities around the world
that have pledged to accelerate their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, and of which New York is a member. To learn more about the work of
