Petrotec places capital increase successfully

Borken, May 28, 2009 - Today the management and the supervisory board of
Petrotec AG have resolved, according to § 4 para 2 of the articles of
association, to use the Authorized Capital I 2006 and to increase the
registered share capital without subscription right by EUR 1,049,999
against contribution in cash. IC Green Energy Ltd., Israel, the majority
shareholder, subscribed 1,049,999 new bearer shares without par value
(roughly 10% of the existing share capital) at an issue price of EUR
1.000001 per share. Petrotec receives a gross capital inflow of roughly EUR
1,05 Mio. Thus, IC Green Energy Ltd. fullfils in due time another condition
of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) which had been
stated in context of the exemption from the obligation to submit a
mandatory takeover according to the German Securities Acquisition and
Takeover Act (WpÜG). The cash inflow from the capital increase is an
important component to realize the restructuring of Petrotec-Group.

After registration of the capital increase at the commercial register the
share capital is increased by EUR 1,049,999 to EUR 11,549,999. The
management board plans that the new bearer with dividend entitlement from 1
January 2009 will be admitted to the regulated market at Frankfurt Stock
Exchange promptly after the registration of the capital increase at the
commercial register.

About PETROTEC

Since November 2006, Petrotec AG has been listed in the Prime Standard
segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under WKN PET111, ISIN
DE000PET1111. Petrotec is one of the pioneers of the German biodiesel
industry. The company started as early as 1998 with the development of a
process to produce biodiesel from used frying and deep-frying oil.
Petrotec's first industrial biodiesel production plant went turn-key in
2000. Petrotec's proprietary technology is capable of transforming virgin
vegetable oils such as rapeseed, soybean or palm oil as well as
hard-to-process oils and fats such as used cooking oils, animal fats and
oils or fish oil in a single fully continuous process into biodiesel and,
thus, is truly a multi-feedstock technology. The annual capacity of the
plant in Borken (Westphalia), Germany, is 85,000 t biodiesel. In the first
half of 2008 a second production has commenced operations in the deep-sea
port of Emden with an annual capacity of 100,000 t. Unlike many of its
competitors, Petrotec in its ongoing operations has for years now primarily
produced biodiesel from used cooking oils in a fully continuous process.
Treated used cooking oils as feedstock for biodiesel production is up to 50
percent cheaper to procure than the rapeseed oil predominantly used by
Petrotec's rivals in Europe. This enhances Petrotec's cost-competitiveness
over other manufacturers of biodiesel, as 70 up to more than 90 percent of
biodiesel production costs relate to raw materials.
