PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
To produce high-quality fuels and the elimination of waste
About Cielo
Aspiring to lead the waste-to-fuels industry using environmentally friendly, economically sustainable technology.
We offer exposure to an early mover that has an opportunity to both define and capture market share in the waste-to-fuel industry. At our Aldersyde Facility, we have achieved proof of concept for our technology, and our ongoing advancement to commercialization will occur in the context of an investor driven ESG boom supported by industry and government agendas to reduce the carbon intensity of fuel.
Cielo is aiming to transform most household and industrial waste currently directed to landfills into valuable fuel. Our facilities will be designed to operate without harmful emissions, and we can help greatly reduce methane emissions from landfills, as well as reduce reliance on imported biofuels made from agricultural products.
LOW INPUT COSTS
Comprised of the most available, inexpensive feedstock from which the potential exists to generate “tipping” fees
ESG-CENTRIC BUSINESS MODEL
We are focused on reducing emissions and GHGs and continually reducing the carbon intensity of our fuels
CARBON CREDIT UPSIDE
We will target the production of low carbon, renewable, and biofuels

The Path To Commercialization
2022 Milestones & Objectives
- Design commenced – for 60-lph research and development facility. (April 2022)
- Seek strategic relationships – with waste producers, recycling companies, and fuel customers.
2023 Forecast Milestones & Objectives
- Commissioning – of 60-lph R&D Facility. (Q1 2023)
- Commence Testing – of 60-lph R&D Facility. (Q1 2023)
- Design – initiate full-scale, commercial waste-to-fuel Facility.
- Refine details – in terms of scope, volume, cost, and timing of construction of a Full-Scale Facility.
- Continuum of R&D – continue testing of multiple infeed stocks (plastics, railway ties, organics, etc.), catalysts, carrier fluid, and technologies.
- Further enhance quality of production – through reduction of carbon intensity, and identify successive locations with proper logistics for waste and fuel distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns Cielo?
Cielo is a publicly traded company on the TSXV using the trading symbol CMC, and also on the OTCQB using the trading symbol CWSFF. We also trade on the Frankfurt (36.F) exchange in Germany.
What information is Cielo able to provide with respect to operations updates and other timelines?
With Cielo being publicly traded on several exchanges including the TSXV, operational updates can only be given in formal news releases to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of material information to all our shareholders. This would apply to any material information, such as construction timelines, expansion plans, and any other milestones that could impact the share price. Any comments to individual shareholders or individuals interested in Cielo can only be made with information that has already been press released. Press Releases can be found on our website under News & Media.
Who owns the Aldersyde R&D Facility?
Cielo owns 100% of the facility located at Aldersyde.
What type of waste products can Cielo’s facility receive and convert to renewable fuels?
The Aldersyde Phase 1 facility was converting wood waste into fuel and will now be transitioning to the R&D facility. Testing at Cielo’s Aldersyde R&D Facility will determine the commercial viability of all fibrous materials including organics, and wood waste (sawdust, bark, recycling products, cardboard, railway ties, etc.) which testing will be subject to the approval of Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP).
What type of fuels can you produce?
Cielo has the capability to produce diesel and naphtha. With the addition of certain equipment, Cielo can produce kerosene (aviation/marine fuel) through the use of Cielo’s technology.
How is this technology different from pyrolysis?
The process of pyrolysis uses high temperature, high pressure and burns the waste streams producing a toxic ash and high emissions. Cielo’s technology operates at a lower temperature and pressure and produces no harmful emissions.
Can your facility take a variety of waste products at the same time?
Facility design will likely focus on single feedstocks based on availability in close proximity to a facility.
