TOLEDO, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- N-Viro International
Corporation, (OTC Bulletin Board: NVIC), an environmental and materials
handling company that owns patented technologies that convert various types of
waste into the renewable biofuel N-Viro Fuel(TM), and Michigan State
University, have agreed to extend their existing term sheet agreement through
November 25, 2008.
The term sheet covers engineering and financial analysis to facilitate a
long-term arrangement for the design, construction and operation of an N-Viro
Fuel facility adjacent to the T.B. Simon Power Plant, which generates power
for MSU. The extension was necessary to provide time to complete the
unfinished processes as the original six-month deadline passed.
Timothy R. Kasmoch, CEO and President of N-Viro International, said,
"Following the successful test at the East Lansing campus of MSU last year,
both parties felt that six months would be adequate time to complete the
discussions to advance our project. While the parties have proceeded
diligently, more time was needed to complete the work we have started."
Robert Ellerhorst, Director of Utilities for Michigan State University,
said, "The N-Viro Fuel proved to burn cleaner than coal alone. By utilizing
the N-Viro Fuel, the University will be able to reduce the 550,000 tons of
carbon dioxide our T.B. Simon Power Plant puts out each year. For the
University, it is more than just being 'greener.' As a member of the Chicago
Climate Exchange, we are committed to reduce our CO2 emissions by 55,000 tons
by 2010."
Robert Bohmer, Vice President of business development at N-Viro, added,
"In Michigan, biosolids from waste water treatment plants largely ends up
being trucked to landfills. East Lansing alone trucks out 70-75 tons daily
from the City, MSU and Meridian Township. By turning the waste into energy,
the environment benefits, the University benefits and the City of East Lansing
benefits."
The extension means that the work under the Agreement must be completed by
November 25, 2008. The final agreement remains subject to the satisfaction of
various conditions, including negotiation and MSU Board of Trustees approval.
Following the execution of a final agreement, construction of an N-Viro Fuel
facility next to the T.B. Simon Power Plant should commence in mid-2009.
The East Lansing plant likely would be the first N-Viro Fuel production
facility in operation. The Company already has a successful facility in
Toledo, Ohio, that has been in operation for 19 years. It also has a larger
plant in Daytona, Florida, that is operating at 50% capacity and can process
750 tons of waste a day when at full capacity.

The Company cautions that words used in this document such as "expects,"
"anticipates," "believes" and "may," as well as similar words and expressions
used herein, identify and refer to statements describing events that may or
may not occur in the future. These forward-looking statements and the matters
to which they refer are subject to considerable uncertainty that may cause
actual results to be materially different from those described herein. For
example, while the Company expects to achieve certain revenues under the
contractual arrangement, actual results will depend on, among other things,
the amount of N-Viro Fuel(TM) used for treatment. Further, the success and
profitability of the project would depend on the actual revenues and expenses
of the Company, which may differ from the Company's estimates. Factors that
may cause expenses to differ from the Company's expectations include, fuel and
transportation costs, labor costs and costs relating to the treatment and
processing of the biosolids and creation of the N-Viro Fuel. In addition,
while the Company believes that trends in sludge treatment are moving in favor
of the Company's technology, such trends may not continue or may never result
in increased sales or profits to the Company because of the availability of
competing processes. All of these factors, and other factors, will affect the
viability and profitability of the development, construction and operation of
new facilities utilizing the Company's technologies. Additional information
about these and other factors that may adversely affect these forward-looking
statements are contained in the Company's reports, including its Annual Report
