Carbon Friendly signs LOI for Wood Waste Utilization and Bio Energy Production Facility

Vancouver, BC, Canada – Tuesday, April 21, 2009 – Carbon Friendly Solutions Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: CFQ) ("CFS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent with The Clarke Group to build and operate a Wood Waste and Biomass Utilization facility for the purpose of manufacturing and selling bio energy products to meet current and future renewable energy demands in Canada, North America and globally.

“This forward thinking "Carbon Friendly” Facility will service the Fraser Valley wood waste disposal demands while diverting and reducing the burden on local municipal landfill sites. We are providing a very efficient cradle-to-grave solution for disposing and utilizing wood waste and residual biomass and fibre to generate bio energy products for commercial and residential use. CFS bio energy products are considered carbon neutral and offset the use of fossil fuels to produce energy, while providing our customers with many benefits including; an effective alternative energy solution that can reduce current energy costs, avoidance of the British Columbia carbon tax and emission offsets that qualify for additional revenues from the sale of verified carbon credits”; said Michael Young, CEO.

The Letter of Intent

The Company has entered into a comprehensive Letter of Intent (the "LOI") with The Clarke Group Inc., and its affiliated companies Green River Log Sales (1996) Ltd. and 0733403 B.C. Limited (collectively "TCG") under which the parties will work together to build and operate a wood waste and biomass utilization and densification facility (the "Facility") located on approximately 7 acres of riverfront property in Mission, British Columbia (the "Site") owned by TCG. TCG already owns many key assets, permits and licences connected to the Site which are required to operate the Facility. Due to TCG's existing businesses, TCG has pre-existing relationships and industry experience to operate the Facility and has access to sufficient wood waste and biomass feedstock supply sources ("Feedstock") that the Company requires to produce biomass energy products at the Facility.

In order to progress the joint initiative, the parties have agreed as follows:

(a) The Company will prepare a detailed business plan (the “Business Plan”) for the purpose of defining the economics of the Facility, as well as its conceptual design and operation flow and will provide all necessary engineering and conceptual designs for the Facility. The Company, in conjunction with its consultants have commenced drafting the Business Plan;

(b) The Company will use it's best efforts to secure the financing (the "Financing") required to build and operate the Facility;

(c) TCG will within 6 months of the execution of a definitive agreement to be completed by the parties, secure the necessary Demolition, Land Clearing and Construction Waste permit (the “DLC Permit”) from the Fraser Valley Regional District to qualify the Site as a recycling and wood waste utilization facility. TCG is in the advanced stages of the DLC Permit application, although there is no assurance that the DLC Permit will be issued. Should TCG not obtain the DLC Permit within the aforesaid 6 month timeframe, CFS may, at its option terminate the transaction;

(d) TCG, at its sole cost, will prepare and improve the Site location for the construction of the Facility based on the engineering and conceptual design provided by the Company;

(e) TCG will secure adequate Feedstock for the Facility in an amount that is the required minimum under the Business Plan;

(f) The Parties will enter into a formal Lease Agreement under which CFS will agree, effective from the closing of the Financing to lease the Site for a period of not less than 10 years with an option to further renew the lease for an additional 10 years at a fair market value rate agreed to by the parties. In addition to the foregoing annual rent, CFS will pay its share of all property taxes, property insurance, and repairs and maintenance expenses on the Site and Facility;

(g) The Parties will jointly operate the Facility pursuant to a management agreement between TCG and Carbon Friendly to be negotiated in the definitive agreement and effective as of the closing of the Financing, under which principals of TCG will manage the Facility for an all inclusive management, administrative and rent fee payable to TCG in the amount of $12,000 a month. The management fee will be subject to revision at the discretion of Carbon Friendly's board of directors once the Facility is operational; and

(h) Carbon Friendly, will obtain TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval to the transaction.

Terms

The Parties have agreed to use their best efforts to enter into a definitive agreement whereby the Company or its wholly owned subsidiary, will own and operate the Facility, and TCG will sell Carbon Friendly all Assets (including buildings, equipment, improvements to the Site, all necessary permits, licences, approvals), and Goodwill (including the Site's strategic location, TCG's industry experience and network and reliable access to Feedstock) required to operate the Facility, in consideration of the payment to TCG of CAD$2,000,000. CAD$500,000 shall be paid in cash and the balance by way of the issuance of common shares at a deemed price equal to the price that CFS completes the required equity Financing, provided that such issuance will be subject to a minimum of 2,000,000 common shares and a maximum issuance of 3,000,000 common shares. The consideration payable by CFS is subject to TSXV acceptance and TCG have acknowledged that an independent valuation report may be required to support such value.

The LOI and any subsequent definitive agreement will terminate automatically in the event certain preconditions have not been met, including amongst others: the delivery of a Business Plan demonstrating the economic viability of the Facility; the receipt of all necessary permits (inclusive of the DLC Permit) and securing adequate Financing within 6 months of the delivery of the Business Plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising sufficient financing to build the Facility.

A finder's fee of 300,000 common shares is payable to EH&P Investments A.G. ("EH&P") for introducing the parties to each other and assisting in negotiations. EH&P is a shareholder of the Company but is at arm's length to both parties.

On closing of the transaction, it is expected that Mr. Scott Clarke, a principal of TCG will become a director of the Company.
