ANNOUNCES INVITATION TO PRESENT AT THE 23RD ANNUAL WALL STREET FORUM INVESTOR CONFERENCE IN BOSTON
SEATTLE, WA – AUGUST 23, 2012 - ClearSign Combustion Corporation (Nasdaq: CLIR), an emerging leader in combustion and emissions control technology for industrial, commercial and utility markets, today announced that Chairman and CEO, Rick Rutkowski, will present at the 23rd Annual Wall Street Forum Investor Conference on Friday, September 7, 2012 at the The Omni Parker House, 60 School Street, Boston, MA. ClearSign's presentation is scheduled to begin at 12:05 PM.
“We are excited, following our successful IPO in April, to share the ClearSign Combustion story with a broader audience of investors and increase awareness within the investment community,” said ClearSign CEO, Rick Rutkowski. “We are delighted to have been selected to present at the Wall Street Forum Investor Conference.
“Combustion-driven thermal processes account for roughly two-thirds of global energy consumption and production,” Rutkowski continued. “We believe that ClearSign’s innovative Electrodynamic Combustion Control™ (ECC™) technology offers significant advantages in the design of industrial and utility scale combustion systems. We are developing powerful new combustion control techniques that we believe may improve energy efficiency, and increase process throughput while significantly improving the economics of air pollution control and industrial production.
“According to the McIlvaine Company, the market for air pollution control was estimated to be just under $42 billion last year. We hope to provide insight into the market opportunity facing ClearSign, and the advantages of our novel approach to combustion systems design. We will also highlight key elements of our strategy and the milestones that lie ahead on our path to commercialization and will report on recent achievements.”
