Exhibit 99 to Clean Coal Current Report on Form 8-K filed 4-5-12

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. (“CCTI”), a cleaner-energy technology company, “fully-reporting” and listed on the OTCQB (symbol CCTC), and Jindal Steel and Power Ltd. (“Jindal”) have signed a 25-year Technology License Agreement (“TLA”) in lieu of the formerly announced Joint Venture Agreement contemplated under the Memorandum of Understanding signed between CCTI and Jindal on January 27, 2012. The decision to enter into the TLA was arrived at jointly and is beneficial for both companies as it allows Jindal to focus on its core business model in Indonesia of supplying dry, high-quality coal to their steel and power businesses in India, while allowing CCTI to focus on the development and marketing of its technology to third parties.

Under the TLA, CCTI will receive an on-going royalty fee of US one dollar ($1.00) per metric ton on all coal processed from Jindal majority-owned mines in the ASEAN region, up to four million tons or four million dollars ($4,000,000) per annum with a waiver of additional royalty fees on further processed coal up to a total of eight million tons per year. If coal processing increases above eight million tons per year, the royalty will be reinstated and Parties have agreed to review the rate.

In addition to the royalty fee, Jindal will pay CCTI a one-time license fee of US seven-hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($750,000). The license fee will be paid in two installments as follows: a) US three-hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000) upon signing of a Pilot Plant construction contract and b) US three-hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000) upon the successful testing of Jindal's Indonesian coal at the Pilot Plant.

Construction of the Pilot Plant in Oklahoma will commence immediately upon execution of the EPC Contract by the JV. It is expected that the EPC Contract will be signed during April and construction of the pilot plant will commence immediately thereafter. The Pilot Plant is scheduled to be completed within 16 to 24 weeks. Testing of the Jindal coal is expected to take place before the end of 2012.

CCTI’s CEO, Robin Eves, stated: “We are delighted to have signed this royalty-bearing agreement with Jindal. With this, CCTI has added a second important commercial client in Indonesia that intends to commence construction of a commercial plant immediately after the testing of its coal at the Pilot Plant.”

Mr. Eves added: “Together with the Archean Group TLA, CCTI has made a quick start in the development of a pipeline of commercial projects in Asia. We are very excited that our first commercial clients are prominent companies that are well-known and highly-regarded in Asia. Each of these companies has in place a widespread Eastern Hemisphere commercial network in its respective business.”
