SEATTLE, WASHINGTON--(Marketwire - Feb. 1, 2011) - ecoTECH Energy Group, Inc. (OTCBB:ECTH), headquartered in Seattle, WA is a development-stage Renewable Bio-Energy Company which plans to manufacture biomass-fueled Power Stations that produce renewable and sustainable "green" energy products. ecoTECH specializes in the development and operations of thermal, 24/7, "firm" electricity supply from state of the art "zero-carbon-footprint" power stations which utilize proprietary ecoTECH technologies that have been continuously improved and fine-tuned by its senior management over the past 30 years. ecoTECH intends to build five Combined Heat and Power ("CHP") Power Stations across North America during the next five to seven years. Active negotiations are in process with site owners, fiber suppliers, municipalities, utility companies and energy brokers.

The Company is in the ground-breaking stage of three large projects located across North America, in both the U.S. and Canada. Using local wood waste biomass, these projects will provide electricity and fuel products to multiple communities, with excess energy production available to external utility companies and energy brokers which can be transferred easily via the Grid infrastructure. In addition to utilizing the Company's proprietary technologies, these projects will also incorporate proven technologies created by external parties with which the Company has partnered. ecoTECH's focus is within North America first, however, plans to pursue other world markets subsequently. The Company has evaluated a number of value added processes to provide maximum return on investments and meet market demands for biomass products. Using low cost heat and steam vented from the adjacent Power Station, biomass will be processed at temperatures ranging from 200°to 320°c in the absence of oxygen to produce torrefied pellets. Torrefied pellets or briquettes ("green fuel") will be produced for markets in Europe, North America and other areas where coal-fired power plants are seeking low carbon fuels. (Torrefied wood briquettes have higher energy content and none of the ash and mineral contaminants that are embedded in standard fossil coal).
