Previous Test Burns Demonstrated Significant Reduction of Harmful Emissions

Dec. 15, 2010 (Marketwire) --

COLUMBIA, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 12/15/10 -- New Generation Biofuels Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NGBF) (OTCQB: NGBF), a leading developer of biofuels technology and products, announced today a contract with the City of Baltimore to conduct a Phase 2 evaluation program of the Company's proprietary biofuel for use in institutional boilers over a one year period. The maximum volume for the program is capped at 440,000 gallons.

"We are very pleased to be moving into Phase 2 of our program with the City of Baltimore to perform long-term tests and evaluations of our biofuel in several of Baltimore's institutional boilers," said Miles F. Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The City of Baltimore is leading the nation in the development and implementation of 'green' initiatives, including the reduction of harmful greenhouse gases. We are excited and proud to be a partner with the City in that effort. The emission-reduction capabilities of our biofuel have already been demonstrated in Phase 1 of the program and we look forward to demonstrating our fuel's capabilities during this extended test burn."

The Phase 1 program demonstrated excellent operability and stability of New Generation Biofuels' second generation biofuel, in addition to showing both a reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (SOx) when compared to both fossil diesel as well as biodiesel. Tests at Eastern Health Center's Columbia boiler with a Sun-Ray burner saw a reduction in NOx of over 40% and SOx reduction of over 90%. Tests at Pimlico Police Training Center's HB Smith cast iron boiler with a Power-Flame burner saw a NOx reduction of over 60%. The Phase 2 program will determine the long term operational impact of the renewable biofuel.

In a press release issued today by the Office of the Mayor of Baltimore City, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake noted that the Company's biofuel has already demonstrated "huge" reductions in pollutants during the Phase 1 testing and that continued success in this final stage of testing will mean a go-ahead for the City to begin the use of the cleaner burning vegetable-based biofuel technology in city buildings.
