Alternative Petroleum Technologies Commissions First Emulsified Biodiesel Fuel Blending Unit in California

LUXEMBOURG, June 1, 2010 - Alternative Petroleum Technologies S.A. (APT) announced today that it has
completed the commissioning of an emulsified biodiesel fuel blending unit
near Sacramento, CA. The blending unit has a 14 million liters-per-year
capacity and will initially be utilized to support the APT agreement with the
Port of Los Angeles. Once the Port of Los Angeles program is running on a
continuous basis, APT will proceed to market emulsified biodiesel fuel in
California's larger cities along the major state roadways.

Dr. Thomas Houlihan, a senior engineer at APT, stated, "Since I was first
introduced to emulsified fuel technology during my tour at the White House
Science Office, I have recognized the technology as a realistic method for
cost-effective reduction of harmful emissions from diesel engines. Emulsified
biodiesel fuel provides an enviable reduction in carbon dioxide, oxides of
nitrogen and particulate matter emissions with no need for modifications to
old or newer diesel engine fuel systems."
