Methes Energies Canada Provides Update on Status of Contribution Agreement with Natural Resources Canada for its Sombra, Ontario Facility

New York, March 25, 2011 – Methes Energies International Ltd. announced today that its wholly‐owned subsidiary, Methes Energies Canada Inc., has been informed by Natural Resources Canada that a contribution agreement has been drafted and will soon be sent to Methes Energies for signature. The contribution agreement with Natural Resources Canada will allow the company to receive a production incentive from one of NRCan's administered program ‐ the ecoENERGY for Biofuels.

The agreement will provide Methes with a financial contribution of up to a maximum amount of Thirty Million Canadian Dollars ($ 30,000,000 CDN) over a period of six years ending on March 31st, 2017. The contribution is for Methes' 50 Million‐liter per year (13 MGY) facility located in Sombra, 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 initiative provides operating incentives to producers of renewable alternatives to gasoline and diesel based on production levels and market conditions. It makes investment in production facilities more attractive by partially offsetting the risk associated with fluctuating feedstock and fuel prices.

"We are proud to have been deemed eligible for a full funding by NRCan for our Sombra facility. We look forward to be able to contribute toward the Canadian biodiesel mandate due to start in July of this year. 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.
