LUTHERVILLE, Md., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alkane, Inc. "Alkane"
(Pink Sheets: ALKN) announced today that it has filed for a U.S. patent on its
newly developed high energy synthetic fuel, Syn-Fuel.  Syn-Fuel is the
operative ingredient in the company's flagship product, diesel fuel additive
Monster Diesel(TM), which started shipping earlier this month.

According to the Energy Information Administration's International Energy
Outlook 2008, the world "will require 50% more energy in 2030 than it did in
2005 ... almost all of which will be derived from synthetic and bio fuel
sources."  Alkane's proprietary Syn-Fuel will surely play an integral role in
this transformation.

A quart of Syn-Fuel containing additive, Monster Diesel(TM), imparts to diesel
fuel the energy equivalent of 25 gallons of regular diesel fuel.  This
revolutionary quality seems destined to place Monster Diesel(TM) at the
forefront of the energy revolution -- ahead of even Ethanol, which actually
contains significantly less energy than regular gasoline and therefore has the
opposite effect when added to fuel.  When one part of Monster Diesel(TM) is
added to 1,000 parts of diesel fuel, the energy density of the diesel has been
shown to increase by 9.9%.  This boost in energy contributes to an increase of
mileage per gallon by as much as 15% for both on-road and off-road diesel
engines.

"The development of this Syn-Fuel, like Nobel's invention of dynamite, is
simply the stabilization of Nitro.  But, like dynamite, the Syn-Fuel has the
capacity to have an impact of similar magnitude on our society," said Mathew
Zuckerman, Ph.D., CEO and President of Alkane.  He went on to say, "The
explosive power of Nitro in Nitroglycerine and in the gaseous product
Nitromethane used in drag racing is well known.  What Alkane has done is
harness the power of Nitro in a liquid form to use as an alternative fuel. The
ramifications of this proprietary technological breakthrough will have a
similarly long lasting impact on our world."

Other benefits of Monster Diesel(TM) include:

    --  Instant impact -- Turns black smoke to white
    --  Less down time -- Metal to metal wear reduced by almost 40%
    --  All year fuel -- Sub-zero operation without plugging filters
    --  Price not dependent upon crude -- Made from feedstock rather than
crude
        oil
