EnviTec Biogas AG launches share buyback programme

Lohne, January 12, 2009 – The Executive Board of EnviTec Biogas AG [ISIN:
DE000A0MVLS8] decided to launch a share buyback programme, based on the
resolution passed by the AGM on July 10, 2008. Until June 30, 2009, shares
of EnviTec Biogas in an amount of up to EUR 10 million are to be
repurchased via the stock exchange. The maximum of the buyback is limited
to EUR 1.5 million shares and equals ten percent of the total equity
capital. The repurchased shares may be used for all purposes defined in the
AGM resolution on July 10, 2008. In accordance with applicable legal
provisions, the buyback programme may be suspended and restarted at any
time.

The share buyback will be realised in relation to the market environment,
by order and on account of the company. It will be performed by Dresdner
Bank AG, DresdnerKleinwort, the decisions concerning the time and
respective volume of the share purchase will be made independently and with
no influence from the company. Purchase price per share (ex other purchase
costs) may not be more than ten percent above or below the market price.
The decisive market price in terms of the preceding is thereby the price of
the company share, determined at the opening auction of the Xetra-trade of
Deutsche Börse AG.

EnviTec Biogas will provide regular information on the share buyback at
www.envitec-biogas.de in the area 'Investor Relations' under the heading
