Tricorona and COMP-ANY GmbH cooperate to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from biological waste in developing countries

Tricorona and  COMP-ANY  GmbH  have signed  a  cooperation  agreement
regarding exports  of  COMP-ANY's  waste  management  technology  for
reducing emissions of greenhouse  gases in developing countries.  The
partnership combines Tricorona's expertise in CDM (Clean  Development
Mechanism)  and  COMP-ANY's  technology,  services  and  know-how  in
efficient biological waste treatment.

COMP-ANY's technology permits controlled biological treatment
including composting, drying and biological stabilization. The
composted biomass can be used as a nutrition rich fertilizer in
agriculture and the stabilized organic fraction can be deposited
safely without generation of greenhouse gases. The method is well
suited to palm oil mills where the organic content of waste water
from treatment processes otherwise decomposes and gives rise to large
quantities of methane gas.

"Our partnership is yet another step in COMP-ANY's
internationalization strategy. With its extensive network and good
knowledge of emission reducing projects in a number of developing
countries, Tricorona is a good partner for COMP-ANY when it comes to
both finding customers and securing financing. Through the CDM system
we expect to obtain additional financing annually for our projects,
and support Tricorona in developing their project portfolio." says Dr
Wilhelm von Trott zu Solz, Managing Director of COMP-ANY GmbH.

In this partnership, Tricorona's role is to purchase emission
reductions and develop these projects to be a part of the CDM system.
CDM stands for Clean Development Mechanism and is included in the
Kyoto Protocol. This mechanism gives industrialized countries an
effective means to complement efforts to reduce emissions on a
national level by investing into emission reduction projects in
developing countries.

"By means of additional financing via the Kyoto Protocol's CDM
system, we can help COMP-ANY to reach new customers all over the
world, where Asia will be the first market to look at. With the extra
value from emission reductions, this type of environmental technology
will also become available to companies in developing countries,
where a great potential exists to reduce emissions of greenhouse
gases from biological waste," says Marco Berggren, head of Technology
Transfer at Tricorona.
