APT Successfully Introduces Its Products to the Marine Sector

LUXEMBOURG, March 5, 2010 - Alternative Petroleum Technologies S.A. ("APT") announced today that APT
and its partner ITI S.r.l. completed a successful demonstration of various
versions of its products on board a commercial container ferry using an
emulsified diesel marine fuel.

The emissions were measured by ISMAR Chimica Spa, an independent
ISO17025:2005 certified laboratory. The engine load was measured using the
ship's instruments. The emulsified fuels gave a reduction in PM 10 emissions
of 34% (for 13% water) and 43% (for 18% water) and a reduction in NOx
emissions of 16% (for 13% water) and 27% (for 18% water). A fuel efficiency
advantage of more than 5% was recorded.

Alberto Vigliotti, President of ITI, stated, "The results from these
efforts will allow us to optimize the water content further to help the
customer balance their desire to reduce emissions and fuel costs."
