North Palm Springs, CA - (WORLD STOCK WIRE) - August 17, 2009 -- Aquentium, Inc., a publicly traded company in the United States of America (OTCBB: AQNM) announced today that the company has secured 475 acres in the State of New Mexico for the development of an algae bio-fuel production facility.

Algae is uniquely suited to serve as the foundation for a new generation of renewable and low carbon transportation fuels. Algae is one of nature's most prolific and efficient photosynthetic organisms.

Nearly all of algae's biomass is concentrated in the chloroplast, the engine that turns sunlight and CO2 into organic carbon, so that algae does not waste time or energy making stalks, roots, leaves, or fruits. This efficiency leads to very high yields of oil.

For example, while palm oil can yield 554 gallons of oil per acre, our algae crop can yield over 10,000 gallons per acre; increasing oil output by a factor of twenty. Further, algae has a short growing cycle and does not require arable land or potable water. It can be grown quickly in brackish or salt water in the desert.

"As we enter this Green Era, by getting ahead of the curve, Aquentium can produce a new generation of transportation fuels for the world that are low-carbon, produced right here in the United States of America, and that generate renewed economic growth and new jobs," stated Aquentium President Mark Taggatz.

Aquentium's algae-based fuels will emit approximately two-thirds less CO2 than petroleum-based fuels at scale. When compared with conventional biofuels, such as corn ethanol and soy biodiesel, Aquentium's Green Crude has significantly less than half their carbon impact, while delivering far greater energy density than either alternative.

"Algae-based fuels, one of the most promising technological developments to positively transform the world's transportation industry. Fuel from algae is an extremely logical approach to meet the needs for a green solution to our dependence on fossil fuels. Fuel from algae is not just a laboratory experiment. The technology is ready now," added Taggatz.
