COMPLETION OF EMISSION REDUCTION PURCHASES WITH CREDIT SUISSE
Dublin, Ireland - EcoSecurities Group plc ("EcoSecurities"), a leading company
in the business of sourcing, developing and trading carbon credits, and Credit
Suisse, one of the world's leading banks, are pleased to announce the signature
of four emission reduction purchase agreements with a large operator of wind
power facilities in China, for the development and purchase of 1.6 million Clean
Development Mechanism ("CDM") Certified Emission Reductions ("CERs") through to
2012. These are the first transactions under the previously announced €1
billion carbon purchase facility agreed between EcoSecurities and Credit Suisse

in December 2007, the execution of these emission reduction purchase agreements
is the latest example of the developing strategic relationship between
EcoSecurities and Credit Suisse established in mid 2007.

collaboration with Credit Suisse. We look forward to co-originating further
transactions into this new purchasing facility in 2008".

the year ended 31 December 2007 will be made on 13 March 2008.
