Green Energy Resources NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 23, 2009) - Green Energy Resources (PINKSHEETS: GRGR) has received a Letter of Intent from an Indian power company to supply in excess of 7 million tons of woodchips valued at over $576 million dollars over a 12-month period. India wants a five-year supply contract ($2.8 billion dollars over 5 years). The order poses daunting challenges for Green Energy Resources to meet a supply that would require approximately 15 shipments monthly or a shipment of about 40,000 tons every other day. The foremost obstacle is freight .The location of ships at a locked in rate to handle the capacity for the buyers. The second major issue for the buyer and the Government of India is to provide project financing in the US to Green Energy Resources for wood procurement, and port facilities. Discussions are ongoing. India is planning to purchase upwards of 36 millions tons of woodchips annually from world wide sources as a part of their renewables obligations under Kyoto. The procurement is currently underway on a global scale. The international community of nations, including the US, are planning and upgrading their climate change strategies in advance of next months meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark. The US is expected to make an announcement shortly. The US Senate climate bill is pending. The US House of Representatives passed the "Cap N Trade" bill earlier this year.
