A capital increase is planned imminently where several new investors will become shareholders of Pure Klimaschutz AG (PKAG). PKAG focuses on financing Carbon Offset Projects in China, South East Asia and South Africa and generating resulting carbon credits. Being a second generation carbon player, the company concentrates on a small number of specifically targeted greenhouse gas reduction sectors such as waste water treatment, energy efficiency and waste heat recycling. The company is also well positioned to benefit from the rapidly increasing Carbon Offset demand in the United States via a strategic alliance of Pure Group and a leading US Carbon Offset provider. 'Whereas the German region represents one of the largest compliance buyer markets globally, there is a shortage of domestic carbon offset companies that can develop tailored solutions for their customers. To our knowledge, PKAG will be the first listed Carbon Offset company in the German- speaking region' said Jürgen F. Habichler, President of the Board of Directors of Cleantech Invest AG. Daniel Koppelkamm, Investment Manager, comments: 'In the run-up to the Copenhagen Summit in December 2009 and impending climate change legislation in the US, we felt that now would be the perfect time to take Pure Klimaschutz AG public. The Berne listing will further establish the Pure brand in the Carbon market. It will also provide investors with full transparency due to the stringent reporting requirements of the Berne Exchange. We look forward to continuing work with this high-potential business'.
