EcoSecurities awarded contract by China Datang Corporation to purchase 6 million
                          CERs from Chinese wind farms



EcoSecurities, a leading company in the business of sourcing, developing and
trading carbon credits, announces that it has signed an Emission Reduction
Purchase Agreement (ERPA) with the China Datang Corporation, one of five major
state-owned power companies in China, to purchase over 6 million Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) from 13 Chinese
wind farms through to 2012.


The group of projects represents one of the largest single offerings of CERs for
wind power development under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The ERPA was
signed at a ceremony chaired by Yin Li, Director for Strategic Planning for the
China Datang Group, on Tuesday 15th April 2008. Gareth Thomas, UK Minister for
Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, Zhai Ruoyu, President of China Datang
Group, and EcoSecurities' Chief Operating Officer (COO), Adrian Fernando, also
attended the signing ceremony.


The revenue generated by the sale of the CERs to EcoSecurities will make the
wind farms economically viable to construct, operate and maintain and will
promote the sustainability of wind farm development in China. The 13 wind farms,
which Datang aims to commission between July 2008 and July 2009, are planned to
contribute 618MW of installed capacity and supply an expected 1,366 GWh of
renewable power on an annual basis to China's otherwise carbon-intensive
electricity infrastructure.


Adrian Fernando, EcoSecurities' COO, commented, "We are delighted to have been
awarded a sizeable portion of such a significant tender which represents a large
addition to our growing portfolio of renewable energy projects in China."
