Mr. Ziegler has over 20 years of experience in the power industry, with
extensive first-hand knowledge of plant engineering, operations and project

a refurbishment and re-start of a waste coal-fired plant in Pennsylvania, and
the $215MM re-powering of a 51 year-old plant with conversion from coal to
combined cycle gas in Indiana. He has participated in a number of due
diligence reviews for potential energy-related acquisitions both as an
engineer and lead developer, and assisted with transitioning of new
acquisitions into the corporate portfolio. Mr. Ziegler has a degree in
mechanical engineering from the University of Cincinnati, and a MBA from the
Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Mr. Ziegler noted, 'I have followed the development of CleanTech's
Pressurized Steam Classification technology to produce a renewable biomass
from municipal solid waste over the past several years and believe that this
technology, currently ready for commercial implementation, is an important
step in the development of creating reliable, plentiful and economically
viable feed-stocks for conversion to clean energy.'
CleanTech CEO, Ed Hennessey added, 'we are very pleased to add an
individual with the background and experience of Dan Ziegler to our team. Dan
has spent much of his career developing alternative energy applications. He
will provide invaluable assistance as we begin developing commercial projects
using our proprietary technologies.'
