SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire - August 13, 2008) - Carbon Sciences Inc. (OTCBB : CABN ), the
developer of a breakthrough technology to transform harmful carbon dioxide
(CO2) into high value, earth-friendly products, announced today the opening
of a new research and development center to expedite the development and
commercialization of its technology.
Derek McLeish, the company's CEO, commented on the move, "We are very
excited about securing and moving into our new and larger facility. This
office and industrial space will be able to accommodate our aggressive
growth plan over the next couple of years. With our core scientific and
engineering team all under one roof, I believe we can start making dramatic
progress."
The company will use this new center to expand the development of its
innovative technology to transform CO2 into a high value compound for use
in paper, pharmaceuticals and other products; already a multi-billion
dollar market opportunity.
The new center is located at 5511 Ekwill Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93111.
It has been built out to include over 2,000 square feet of chemical
engineering facilities for experiments and process development.
State-of-the-art equipment, such as multi-chamber reactors, will be
installed shortly to enable parallel experiments for helping the Carbon
Sciences team narrow down the parameters for a highly efficient and cost
effective CO2 transformation system.
Mr. McLeish concluded, "We believe transforming CO2 into useful high value
products is a very powerful proposition. In fact, Popular Mechanics
recently featured an article on our company describing carbon
transformation as a 'no-brainer.' With our new research and development
facility, we intend to move full steam ahead in delivering a viable
solution to the CO2 problem."
