International Power Group (OTCBB: IPWG) ("IPWG") today announced the signing of a Joint Venture Agreement with ForeverGreen Enterprises ("FGE") to build a facility that manufactures fuels and energy alternatives on a 60-acre site in LaFontaine, Indiana that will convert industrial, chemical and medical waste into green hydrogen, methanol and electricity.

Woodrow Crouch, IPWG's CEO, stated, "We are excited about this joint venture with ForeverGreen Enterprises because it establishes a foothold for us in the lucrative United States Waste-to-Energy market -- something that has been one of our major goals. We look forward to working with FGE in Indiana and on other projects in the future."

Michael Kelly, FGE's CEO, said, "The joint venture with IPWG is the beginning of what we expect to be a long and mutually rewarding relationship. IPWG offers us an excellent opportunity to accelerate the domestic and international launch of our Progressive Molecular Dissociation platform. They will help us bring a process that cleans the environment while simultaneously producing low cost energy, fuels and industrial products to many locations within the US and the rest of the industrialized world."

FGE will own 75% of the Joint Venture Company, and IPWG will own the remaining 25%. Construction costs for the LaFontaine plant are projected to be $227 million, with a 22-month completion date. The plant will process up to 750 tons of industrial, chemical and medical wastes per day using FGE's Progressive Molecular Dissociation platform and IPWG's patented Add-Power Waste-Heat-to-Energy platform. The Joint Venture Agreement contemplates multiple Waste-to-Energy projects in the United States and elsewhere, with IPWG being responsible for the provision of engineering and technical services, including but not limited to civil engineering, architectural services, project management, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, thermal engineering, and power island engineering. Under the Joint Venture Agreement, IPWG is required to make capital contributions totaling $11,500,000, with the first payment due on September 29, 2008.

The state of Indiana has enacted legislation endorsing the FGE Progressive Molecular Dissociation platform.
