                Bowerman LNG Plant Achieves Production Targets



Prometheus Energy Company announces today that its Landfill Gas ("LFG") to
Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG") production  facility located at the Frank R.
Bowerman Landfill in Irvine, California, has met and exceeded design capacity
targets.  The plant is currently running at over 70 percent of the design
capacity of 5,000 gallons per day, and has exceeded  design capacity for a
number of periods.

The Company restarted the facility on December 8, 2007 following a planned
outage to install certain new processing  equipment to improve the drying and
cleaning of LFG to the stringent purity levels required for liquefaction. The
plant  is operating consistently, with brief interruptions for continued tuning
of the control system and related mechanical  and process adjustments. The plant
has produced LNG in 75% of all available production hours since re-start, and
has  been in continuous production for up to 140 hours at a stretch. By the
weekend, approximately thirty thousand gallons  of LNG will have been delivered
since mid December.

With continued tuning of the control system and refining of operational
procedures, the Company expects net LNG yields  consistently to deliver design
capacity and is working through a planned programme to achieve that objective.

Kirt Montague, Prometheus' CEO, said:  "We are delighted that the modifications
are complete and have had the desired  effect. In just over three-weeks of
production since re-starting the facility, we have demonstrated the plant's 
capability for both continuous production and design level output and we are
encouraged by the implications this has  for the plant's ability to deliver
increased commercial volumes of LNG over 2008."
