On August 26, 2009, Cleantech Biofuels, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the shareholders of the Company have elected, at the 2009 Annual Shareholder Meeting (the “Meeting”) held on August 25, 2009, Dr. David Bransby and Dr. Jackson Nickerson to its board of directors as Class II directors to serve in such capacity until the 2012 Annual Shareholder Meeting filling the terms of Ira Langenthal and Larry McGee, whose terms expired as of the Meeting. Mr. Langenthal served on the Audit Committee and Mr. McGee served as Chairman on the Audit and Compensation Committees. The committee(s) of the board of directors to which the new directors will be appointed have not yet been determined. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Dr. Bransby is a Professor of Energy Crops and Bioenergy in the Department of Agronomy and Soils at Auburn University where he has taught and conducted research since 1987.  He has more than 30 years of experience in agronomic research, and has spent 22 years specializing in the production and processing of energy crops, a subject in which he is widely considered a preeminent international expert. He has authored over 300 technical publications, serves on the editorial boards of two international bioenergy journals and consults for several private bioenergy companies. In February 2007 he was invited to the White House to advise President Bush, Secretary of Energy Sam Bodman and senior White House officials on the feasibility of large-scale cellulosic biofuel production in the United States. He has also advised Alabama Governor Bob Riley on the status of the emerging biofuels industry.

Dr. Nickerson’s award-wining research spans a variety of topics in organization and strategy.  He is internationally recognized as an expert on innovation and the effect of organizational structure on business performance, including the performance implications of outsourcing, centralization versus decentralization and the use of teams. Dr. Nickerson joined the Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis in 1996 and currently is the Frahm Family Professor of Organization and Strategy. He received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and a Masters of Science in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley.
