About Luca Technologies Inc.

Luca Technologies is a clean energy technology company focused on the
sustainable generation of natural gas via the microbial cultivation and
harvesting of methane from underground hydrocarbon resources. Luca has developed
and is implementing in the field, technology that harnesses and actively manages
the natural biologic conversion of such buried hydrocarbon resources as coal,
shales and oil reservoirs into cleaner-burning natural gas, which Luca then
harvests and transports using conventional energy infrastructure. Luca`s
approach has the potential to significantly extend the productive life of
depleting oil and gas fields, return already depleted fields to production, and
utilize previously untapped hydrocarbon resources with minimized environmental
disruption and greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. For more information on
