TAMPA, Fla, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Renewable Energy Resources, Inc, (OTC:RENW) (BULLETIN BOARD: RENW) (http://www.renw.com/) today announced that a private investor has committed $750,000 to fund RENW and the Springfield Energy Project ("SEP"). RENW has already received the initial $100,000 from the investor for corporate operations. The remaining $650,000 will be available upon the financial closing of SEP. The investor is providing these funds to RENW in the form of a 5 year loan. Springfield Energy Project, LLC ("SEP") is the joint venture between RENW and Wastech, Inc. to acquire the Peabody #10 mine complex near Pawnee, Illinois. This acquisition encompasses approximately 600 acres permitted to reclaim coal fines and dispose of coal combustion waste (fly ash). RENW is in the final stages of completing the financing of the project. Once the property is acquired and the permit transferred, SEP will recover the approximately 4 million raw tons of slurry material (coal fines) located in Slurry Area No. 2. SEP also intends to tap into the existing methane wells on the SEP property and to explore other opportunities. Ken Brown, RENW's CEO, explains, "The investor's belief in RENW and the Springfield Energy Project is extremely gratifying. This investment is the last necessary step to completing the financing of SEP so that the company will begin generating revenue. We hope to close SEP and begin operations in a few weeks." "This announcement is the beginning of what I expect to be numerous encouraging corporate events in the next few months," continued Mr. Brown. "RENW's executive management has been working hard these past few months to create the framework for a strong company; a company balanced by revenues from clean renewable energy projects such as SEP and our promising technology, the Energy Commander." Mr. Brown further stated that he expects to release more information on SEP and the Energy Commander in the upcoming weeks. This includes details on SEP's final structure as well as contracts for the sale of coal and disposal of ash.
