Michael Rowan, CEO of Active Energy, commented:

"We are delighted to have received our patent for the beneficiating and cleaning of biomass in Malaysia. We see Malaysia as one of our primary target markets for CoalSwitch ®, due to their rapid acceleration in the industrial sectors, which historically have been heavily reliant on carbon intensive fuels such as coal. We continue to work towards obtaining further permits, both in Asia and Europe."
