("CNE" or "the Company")

Subscription and Issue of Equity

The Board of CNE (AIM:CNEL), the AIM quoted engineering and technology solutions provider to the bioenergy sector, is pleased to announce a further subscription following continued institutional interest in the Company.

To satisfy the demand, the Company has issued 7,107,143 ordinary shares by way of subscription, at a price of 3.5p per share, raising £248,750. The additional funds raised will further support general working capital and be used to reduce structured debt.

Mr Yu, Chairman, commented, "we are delighted with the recent institutional interest in our business which has led to £1,048,750 being raised in the last month. Our recent contract success highlights our capabilities as a global business and, hopefully, that confidence is returning to the bioenergy industry. The funds raised today will be used to reduce our structural debt and it is our expectation that we will be able to completely repay the principal on the bonds from Citadel. We are fully funded to progress our current order book and I do not anticipate further fundraising in the near future. We continue to work hard to deliver our goals of winning EPC contracts and becoming an operator and I look forward to updating shareholders about our progress in the near future."
