                           Gas Turbine Efficiency plc
                             ('GTE' or 'the Group')

    GTE announces commercial launch of Advanced Fuel & Combustion business


Gas Turbine Efficiency plc, a leading provider of advanced systems to enhance
performance of aviation and industrial turbines, is pleased to announce the
commercial launch of its Advanced Fuel & Combustion business.

This business segment has been established organically over the last quarter
through the recruitment of a team of world-class industry experts. This team has
been involved in both GTE and leading Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
product development that has produced over two dozen granted patents and
applications.

The business represents the third leg of the Group's strategy to broaden its
products and services portfolio in the $10 billion global turbine aftermarket.
This business unit provides a range of highly specialised services including
consulting, design, root cause analysis and manufacturing. GTE is currently
working in this capacity with several leading OEMs, which is expected to
generate material revenues from 2008.

Demand for advanced fuel and combustion solutions is expected to grow strongly
over the long term as turbine operators are driven to fuel flexible combustors
that will operate on conventional fuels and on a wider variety of fuels such as
liquefied natural gas, clean coal, and bio-fuel blends to reduce costs and
carbon emissions. In addition, many industries want to decrease the flaring of
gas due to tighter environmental controls, the rising cost of carbon allocations
and the value of surplus gas.
