Clean Energy Combustion Systems Licenses China’s Bio-Methane Technology

December 4, 2006

Canada, Vancouver

The Board of Canadian based Clean Energy Combustion Systems Inc. (CECU) have announced terms of an agreement with Lucky Power International Limited (a BVI company registered in Hong Kong) for an exclusive license of technology patented in the People's Republic of China for the recovery, purification and compression of raw landfill gas into high quality Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for transport. The raw gas is collected from the decomposition of municipal waste in the landfills associated with large Chinese cities.

Under the terms of the agreement CECU will issue seven million treasury shares in return for exclusive access to all the commercial development of this technology in the People's Republic of China. CECU will own a 70% interest in an exclusive operating license for this patented technology in China. The Company anticipates achieving net cash flow next year growing substantially over the next five years.

The technology is operating at a pilot facility in Shenzhen, China. The CNG produced in Shenzhen is sold via a long-term contract to the local municipality which uses it to fuel its municipal vehicles. Commitments are being made for the development of a minimum of two new landfill sites over the next two years and a total of 10 new installations during the next five years. Each facility will enjoy a production lifespan approaching 30 years.

CECU is responsible for providing the equity financing for each new project. Lucky Power will retain a 30% interest in the Chinese operations and provide management expertise on a contractual basis in China. With the same agreement CECU has also acquired first rights of refusal for the commercial development of this technology in all other global markets outside the People's Republic of China.

The Company anticipates capacity 11,250,000 cubic metres (M(3)) of CNG per annum in the first year of operations, growing to 2,925,000 M(3) of CNG per annum by year five. In addition to the marketable CNG, a substantial source of additional revenues for CECU and Lucky Power is anticipated through international trading of Carbon Emission Reduction (CER) credits

In a press release, CECU says the technology should provide significant benefits for all stakeholders: significant savings in the cost of fuel for the local municipality; reliable cash flow for the joint venture local operators; healthy and secure ROI for owners and investors; major enhancement to local air quality; creation of a significant non-fossil clean burning alternative fuel; long-term benefit to the global environment.
