Digital Gas Joins Quanta Consortium to Build Two 400-Megawatt Waste-to-Energy Plants in Taiwan.

NEW YORK -- Digital Gas, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: DIGG) Digital Gas announced today that its subsidiary, Digital Energy & Farming Asia LLC ("DEFA"), has signed an agreement to join the Quanta Energy Environment Consortium, which has received approval from the Taiwan Government to build two 400-MW waste-to-energy plants in Taiwan.

Quanta received foreign investment approvals from the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economy on August 10, 2004 for the plants which are anticipated to cost $425 million each. After it obtains a business license, which is a formality after the payment of a fee, the Taipei County Government, which has reserved a 50-acre site for the Quanta Consortium in the Economic Development Zone, will transfer the land to the consortium. Known as the "Reclaimed Land Under Sanying Bridge," the property is valued at US$142,830,000. The consortium's second plant will be located in Kao-hsiung County.

DEFA, which owns a 2.5% non-dilutable equity interest in the two projects, will coordinate all financing for the consortium, as well as technical matters relating to an adjacent farming facility and the use of fuel cells and nanotechnology. DEFA can earn up to 37.5% of the equity in the two projects.

The waste-to-energy plants will employ a waste-processing technology that converts municipal, industrial, and residential waste streams to a by-product that, when burned, is not only environmentally clean and safe, but is 50-80% more efficient than burning conventional RDF.

The Taiwan principals, led by Henry T. Hsu of Taipei, have more than 50 years of experience in business in the Asian market. The US principals, led by Kenneth Ealba of Detroit, Michigan, have more than 30 years of experience with corporations such as Asia Pacific Petrochemicals Company, Taiwan, and Qingdao Liancheng Petrochemical Company, Shangdong Province, PRC and the Almana Group, one of the largest business houses in Qatar. The Quanta Consortium has extended to DEFA the right to partner in future projects in Korea, Japan, and the PRC.

Digital Gas is pleased to announce that it has opened an office in Hong Kong and that Ferdi Stolzenberg, CEO of Elegant Fortune Limited, a long-established consultant group in the niche markets of shipping, finance, the trading of bulk commodities and petroleum products, has agreed to serve on the Board of Directors of DEFA.
