Methes Energies Canada Signs Contribution Agreement with
Natural Resources Canada

New York, February 10, 2009 – Methes Energies International Ltd. announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Methes Energies Canada Inc., has signed a contribution agreement with Natural Resources Canada allowing the company to receive a production incentive from one of NRC’s administered program - the ecoENERGY for Biofuels.

The agreement will provide Methes with a financial contribution of up to a maximum amount of Five Million Three Hundred and Sixty Thousand Canadian Dollars ($ 5,360,000 CDN) over a period of seven years ending on June 30th, 2015. The contribution has been granted for Methes’ five-million-liter-per-year facility located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

The ecoENERGY for Biofuels Program supports the production of renewable alternatives to gasoline and diesel, as well as encourages the development of a competitive domestic industry for renewable fuels. The program provides an operating incentive to facilities that produce renewable alternatives to gasoline and diesel in Canada.

Through the ecoENERGY for Biofuels Program, the Government of Canada will invest up to $ 1.5 billion (Canadian dollars) over a period of nine years in support of biofuel production in Canada.

“We are proud to have been deemed eligible for funding by Natural Resources Canada. This program is a great example of how the Canadian Government is doing its part in increasing our supply of biodiesel for a clean and greener environment for all Canadians”, said Mr. John Loewen, President of Methes Energies Canada Inc.
