Cleantech Transit Inc. originally only aim was to develop opportunities utilizing advances in technology and manufacturing processes in order to develop significant market share in the growing clean energy public transportation sector.

Using biomass to create energy has positive environmental implications. Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring gas. Plants collect and store carbon dioxide to aid in the photosynthesis process. As plants or other matter decompose, or natural fires occur, CO2 is released. Before the anthropomorphic discovery of fossil fuels, the carbon dioxide cycle was stable; the same amount that was released was sequestered, but it has since been disrupted. In the past 150 years, the period since the Industrial Revolution, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have risen from around 150 ppm to 330 ppm, and are expected to double before 2050!

When biomass is produced by plants as a result of photosynthesis, some of the energy in the sunlight is converted into the chemical energy that binds various atoms to form carbohydrate molecules. Herbivores (animals that feed on plants) eat the plants and make their own biomass by using the energy stored in the plants' biomass. Similarly, carnivores (animals that feed on other animals) consume the biomass of other animals and in the process make their own biomass. When the plants or animals die, the energy captured in their biomass remains until the biomass decomposes through natural mechanisms or is burned or processed by humans.

Many years ago wood was our main source of fuel, now biomass energy is becoming a long lost energy source that is seldom used. In some parts of the world sugar cane is grown and can be fermented to make alcohol. Alcohol can be burned in order to generate energy in much the same way as coal. It is also possible to crush the sugar cane pulp or "bagasse" and burn it to produce steam to power turbines which can run generators. This is a form of biomass energy.
