HENDERSON, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 09/02/08 -- Energy Quest, Inc. ("EQI") (OTCBB: EQST), an emerging
leader in alternative energy and the development and production of hydrogen-enriched alternative fuels in an
environmentally responsible manner, today announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with
CO.F.A.M.M. (COFAMM) of Romentino, Italy. The letter sets forth the basic terms and conditions under
which EQI expects to enter a definitive purchase agreement for the construction and installation of 500 tons
per day of MSW (municipal waste) to 20 MW Power gasification plant.

The total cost for the gasification and power generation part of the plant will be approximately $56 million
USD. Term and condition will be stated in the negotiated definitive purchase agreement with a commitment
of 20% deposit and financing in place for the total project.

EQI will provide the proprietary technologies, equipment, and project management for the complete
gasification plant, while COFAMM will provide a total solution for MSW waste sorting, front end, to provide
RDF feedstock for the gasification plant. EQI and COFAMM anticipate engineering and commercial layouts
consisting of four modular units of gasification and 6 MW power enabling the gasification of MSW for the
profitable production of alternative green energy. The company plans to rapidly move forward subject to the
mutual agreement of the terms and conditions set forth in the project proposal in addition to the completion of
a definitive agreement.

The equity of the proposed plant when complete is expected to be $72,000,000 USD. Following
commissioning & start up, expected to be completed within 12 months from the signing of the joint venture
agreement, the joint venture anticipates immediate cash flows with gross annual revenues of $26.6 million
while yielding a net profit of $11.1 million after taxes and debt payment.

"We are pleased to have secured this opportunity with COFAMM. This project will be the first EQI
installation of its gasification to power systems with COFAMM and looking forward with the prospect of
others," stated Wilf Ouellette, President and CEO of Energy Quest, Inc. "We expect this venture to pave the
way for additional mutually beneficial opportunities with COFAMM."
