TransGlobal Assets and Helios Receive LOIs to Purchase Biomass Systems for $12M USD


LINCOLN CITY, OR--(Marketwire - May 2, 2011) - TransGlobal Assets, Inc. (OTCQB: TMSH) (PINKSHEETS: TMSH) is pleased to announce that its JV partner, Helios Inc. of India, has received Letters of Intent from Solaris PLC of Bulgaria and Chemtech SRL of Romania, each agreeing to purchase a 1-megawatt patented Portable Biomass Waste System. The purchase price for each 1-MW System is $6,000,000 (USD), payable in two installments; one half upon placement of the order and one half upon delivery of the completed unit.

The Helios "MSW-TO-ENERGY SYSTEM" is an earth-friendly technology with the potential to revolutionize the way municipal landfill waste (MSW) and hazardous bio materials are managed around the world. The Helios System was specifically designed to address the many downsides of current biomass waste systems by making the System portable, lower-cost, modular, non-polluting, fast to design/build, and same-day installed and operational. In addition, the Helios System can output multiple high-value saleable byproducts, the most profitable of which is electricity, followed by ash for concrete, Syngas, hydrogen, methane, and more.

The LOIs to purchase two 1-megawatt units are in addition to the existing LOIs with two Romanian municipalities that intend for the JV partners to own and operate several 1-megawatt up to 5-megawatt units at current municipal landfill sites for a 15-year period and receive EUR 45 ($65 USD est.) per megawatt of electricity fed to the country's power grid. The size and number of units will be determined by the requirements of each site. The JV partners also will receive ongoing revenues from System byproducts such as ash, gases, Green Certificates, Tipping Fees, and other.
