Alternative Petroleum Technologies Renews Multiple Year Contract for Use of Its Diesel Emulsion in a Major European Port

LUXEMBOURG, May 13, 2010 - Alternative Petroleum Technologies S.A. ("APT") announced today that its
partner ITI S.r.l. ("ITI") in Genoa, re-signed its customer Ignazio Messina &
C. S.p.A. ("Messina") to a four-year contract. The contract covers the daily
use of an on-site emulsification plant that is used to fuel their vehicles
and port equipment running 24 hours per day. The Messina Terminal has been
using this emulsion technology for the last several years.

The Messina Terminal located in the Old Port is home to a fleet of
container ships which sails all over the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle
East and the Indian subcontinent. The fleet of 16 vessels sail to over 50
ports and 36 countries.

Alberto Vigliotti, President of ITI said he was "pleased to have the port
customer committed to a four year contract and believes this is a reflection
of the trouble-free performance in delivering emission reductions and cost
savings."

Patrick Grimes, APT President stated, "Messina's renewal under a multiple
year contract provides APT with marketing momentum in Italy and commercial
and technical validity for our upcoming contract with the Port of Los
Angeles."
