Energtek Requested by Philippines' Government to Provide Sample CNG Lite(TM) Tricycle Conversions in Metro Manila

Government Intends to Add Tricycles to its Natural Gas Vehicle Program for Public Transport; Tricycles to be Powered by Natural Gas From the Large Malampaya Offshore NatGas Reserve

NEW YORK, April 17/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energtek Inc., a world leader in the development of Adsorbed
Natural Gas (ANG) technology, today announced that the Government of the
Philippines has requested that Energtek convert a sample of three-wheel
vehicles ("tricycles") in Metro Manila to operate on natural gas. The
vehicles will be converted utilizing Energtek's proprietary CNG Lite(TM)
system based on ANG technology.

The conversion has been requested by the Department of Energy.
The government agency informed the company of its intention to allow
tricycles to use natural gas resources allocated to the Natural Gas Vehicle
Program for Public Transport (NGVPPT). The NGVPPT, passed in 2002, is a
nationwide program that "aims to enhance energy supply security in the
transport sector through fuel diversification using indigenous natural gas
and to use natural gas as a clean alternative fuel for transport."

The NGVPPT program, which places a strong focus on the Metro
Manila area, has natural gas resources apportioned from the Malampaya Gas
Reserve in Batangas. The Malampaya Offshore Natural Gas Reserve is currently
the Philippines' largest indigenous energy source. For years, the reserve has
been used primarily to generate power for the Metro Manila area. Now the
government seeks to similarly utilize the reserve to supply the motor fuel
energy needs of its largest city's transportation sector.

Executive Secretary of the Philippines, Hon. Eduardo R.
Ermita, has stated, "The government is more than glad to begin converting a
million vehicles to operate on ANG as soon as possible. We are pleased to
work together with Energtek to achieve our goal of providing a clean and
cost-effective solution for small vehicle drivers who are suffering from the
rising costs of gasoline."

Tricycles represent one of the most popular forms of
transportation in the Philippines. These gasoline-powered tricycles are known
to contribute to dangerous pollution levels. Converting the vehicles to
Natural Gas provides a substantial reduction in hazardous emissions and is
cost-effective. Natural Gas costs a fraction of the price of gasoline.

"We are quite pleased to assist the Filipino government in
their quest to provide a cleaner and cheaper motor fuel alternative to oil,"
said Energtek CEO Lev Zaidenberg. "In a metropolitan area with millions of
tricycles as Metro Manila, Energtek's CNG Lite(TM) system can utilize natural
gas to provide significant environmental improvement and cost-benefits for
drivers."

Mr. Zaidenberg added, "The conversion of even half of the
amount mentioned by the Executive Secretary of the Philippines would render
revenues of hundreds of millions of dollars for the conversion systems as
well as hundreds of millions of recurrent yearly revenues for the sale of
Natural Gas.
