Mercuria Energy Group, Anchor Investor in IFC's now Active Carbon Credit Fund

GENEVA, June 6, 2011 -

As one of the anchor investors, Mercuria Energy Group is pleased to
participate in the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Post-2012 Carbon
Facility that has now become operational.

The aim of the fund is to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, extend
carbon markets, and increase access to finance for projects that promote
environmentally friendly economic growth.

The Facility will forward purchase Certified Emission Reductions (CERs)
expected to be produced from 2013 to 2020 from projects directly financed by
IFC or by local banks financed by IFC. This will ensure that projects can
continue to benefit from carbon finance during a period of policy uncertainty
as we approach the end of the first commitment period under the Kyoto
Protocol in 2012. The fund will provide a longer-term high-quality carbon
revenue stream and increase financing options for projects that reduce
emissions.

Paul Chivers, Mercuria Energy Group Chief Investment Officer, said:

"This is a very positive development for Mercuria's Global Carbon
Strategy and expresses our long term business commitment to promote climate
related investments. We are pleased to support the IFC as a lead investor in
this project."
