Energtek Inc. (OTCBB: EGTK), a world leader in the development of Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) technology, today announced that its sample of converted two-stroke and four-stroke three-wheelers ("tricycles") have been successfully operating on natural gas for more than a month in the Philippines.

Energtek CEO Lev Zaidenberg made the announcement at the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) - Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Philippines Forum during a presentation on "Commercial NGV Conversion of Three-Wheelers in the Philippines." Energtek is an official sponsor of the national forum, focused on "Pushing Natural Gas Vehicle Solutions throughout Metro Manila by 2010."

The vehicles have been operating since July on Natural Gas extracted from the San Antonio stranded gas well. Environmental analysis of the vehicle sample has concluded that carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from the tricycles are virtually eliminated following conversion.

Energtek's CNG Lite(TM) conversion of gasoline powered two-stoke tricycles reduced levels of carbon monoxide from 4 percent to 0.6 percent, a reduction of 85. Conversion of gasoline powered four-stroke tricycles reduced levels of Carbon Monoxide emissions from 2.5 percent to a virtually non-existent 0.05 percent, a reduction of 98 percent.

"The beneficial effects of the emission reductions will be immediately felt throughout the Philippines," said Zaidenberg, CEO of Energtek. "In addition to the environmental advantages, drivers of tricycles will save hundreds of dollars each year on fuel costs using CNG Lite(TM). We are proud to deliver this technology to the Philippines, and look forward to fulfilling the government's request of Energtek to convert at least half a million of the country's three million tricycles over the next three to four years."

The sample tricycles are the first of the Company's commercial NGV project in the Philippines aimed at converting at least 500,000 tricycles during the present stages. A recently converted vehicle was on display at the forum.

The vehicles were converted using Energtek's proprietary CNG Lite(TM) natural gas conversion and supply system for small vehicles, which the Company introduced at the conference. The CNG Lite(TM) complete energy supply solution for small vehicles, powered by ANG technology, resolves many of the challenges of standard high-pressure CNG solutions, in addition to the known economic and environmental benefits of utilizing Natural Gas as a motor fuel.

The company expects to convert additional vehicles during the month of September, and complete 3,000 tricycle conversions in the province during 2009. In addition, Energtek aims to launch additional conversion projects over the next several months in the areas of Cebu and Batangas, near Metro Manila.
