HTC Purenergy Acquires Carbon Rx Inc.

HTC Purenergy ("HTC" or "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:HTC), today announced it has
acquired Carbon Rx Inc. ("Carbon Rx"), a leader in the monetization of carbon
credits. 


Under the terms of the transaction, HTC will acquire all the issued and
outstanding shares of Carbon Rx in exchange for 346,000 HTC common voting
shares, valued at a deemed price of $2.50 per common share. At close of market
on March 6, 2009 HTC's shares were trading at $2.34 per common share.


Through the acquisition of Carbon Rx, HTC will have the exclusive right to use
and license the Carbon Rx Regina Protocols and the Carbon Credit Monetization
Model ("CCMM") owned by Carbon Rx. The CCMM model provides Carbon Rx with a
dynamic business model to effectively monetize CO2 by creating intangible assets
through a variety of strategies including royalty agreement, equity
participation and licensing agreements.


"The addition of Carbon Rx's technology will help maintain HTC's leadership
position in cost effective CO2 management and will continue to accelerate HTC's
commercialization strategy to be the recognized global leader in
pre/post-combustion CO2 capture, processing and validation," said Lionel
Kambeitz, Chairman and CEO. "The growing demand for world energy is driving the
need to build more fossil fuel power plants and processing facilities, which
will require carbon capture solutions to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
Through Carbon Rx, we will pursue a variety of strategic partnerships with CO2
project developers and carbon credit aggregators to ensure participation in
various CO2 storage/sequestration projects."


Carbon Rx, a privately owned company, is engaged in China, Australia, Canada and
the United States in the development, verification and inventorying of CO2
offset credits certified by "Carbon Rx Regina Protocols," a proprietary
geological CO2 storage and sequestration protocol governing the storage of CO2,
in conjunction with CO2 enhanced oil recovery and depleted natural gas and oil
reservoirs. The Carbon Rx Regina Protocols will serve as an industry standard
for methodologies necessary to validate carbon credits created as a result of
CO2 storage/sequestration and will add significant economic value to the back
end of the Carbon Capture and Storage value chain.


This transaction has been approved by the board of directors of HTC and is
conditional upon TSX Venture Exchange Inc. approval.
