Heartland Energy HEGP Conducts Testing For Oklahoma E85 Fuel Station

ALEXANDRIA, La.--(Business Wire)--Heartland Energy Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:HEGP) announced today
that it has selected Binger Oil, a private Oklahoma based fuel company
to test the storage tanks located at the Broken Bow, OK facility in
preparation of its first delivery of e85.

Heartland Energy is working diligently to prepare the Oklahoma
Fuel Station for its earliest opening. The station is located in
Southeastern, OK, on a well-traveled thoroughfare carrying traffic
from Tulsa, OK to Texarkana, TX. Broken Bow is home of the ever
popular Beaver Bend Resort Park and is a developing area of the state.
This route also goes through the Choctaw Indian Nation, which includes
Resorts and Casinos. The station will feature the company's HE85
ethanol as well as other flex fuels and normal grades of gasoline that
are suitable for today's market.

Roy Thornhill, CEO of Heartland Energy Group, stated: "We are
ensuring our full compliance as we prepare for the opening of our
Oklahoma Station, as soon as possible."

Ethanol Industry:

The growing interest in ethanol, a clean, corn-based renewable
resource, has paralleled the escalating price of gas and the urgent
need to break the country's dependence on crude oil. Recently, the Big
Three automobile manufacturers, GM (NYSE:GM), Ford (NYSE:F), and
DaimlerChrysler (NYSE:DCX), appealed to Congress for incentives to
increase the number of gas stations that offer blends of ethanol.
President Bush responded by signing the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007. Microsoft (NasdaqGS:MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates
invested $84 million into Pacific Ethanol (NasdaqGM:PEIX). Vinod
Khosla, "guru" of Silicon Valley, co-founder of Sun Microsystems
(NasdaqGS:JAVA), and one of ethanol's most vocal advocates, has
personally invested millions in private companies involved in the
development of ethanol. The development of renewable energy resources
has created enough buzz to force conventional gas and oil
conglomerates such as Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), and
BP (NYSE:BP) to focus more on alternative energy solutions.
Alternative energy companies like Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM)
and Bunge Limited (NYSE:BG) have experienced some resistance in their
respective markets due to the rise in feedstock costs.
