Sinoenergy Corporation Leases Out its Qingdao City Facility
 
Beijing, March 31, 2007--Sinoenergy Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SNEN) (“Sinoenergy” or the “Company”), a manufacturer of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle and gas station equipment and a designer, developer and operator of retail CNG filling stations in the People’s Republic of China, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Qingdao Sinogas General Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Sinogas”) will lease out its current facility in the center of Qingdao City and will move its operations to a Sinoenergy owned facility in an industrial development zone in Qingdao City.
 
Sinogas will lease out its downtown Qingdao City facility to Qingdao Mingcheng Real Estate Co., Ltd (“Mingcheng”). The lease agreement is for a three year term at RMB 40 million a year (about $5.7 million at the current exchange rate), starting from January 2008. Sinogas received RMB 10 million for the first quarter’s lease payment from Mingcheng in March 2008.
 
Sinogas acquired the land use right to the downtown Qingdao City facility in May 2007. The facility consists of a 159,273 sq. ft. building on a 384,690 sq. ft. foot plot of land. The cost of the facility’s land use right, excluding the building on it, was about RMB 82 million (about $11.7 million at the current exchange rate).
 
According to provisions in the lease agreement, Sinogas gave Mingcheng a right of first refusal to buy the land use right to the downtown Qingdao City facility if Sinogas sells the land use right.
 
All of Sinogas’ operations in downtown Qingdao City will be moved to a facility acquired by Sinoenergy through its purchase of Qindao Jingrun General Machinery Company (“Jingrun”) for approximately $8 million in August 2007. Jingrun’s facility is a workshop on a 644,668 square feet plot of land. Sinogas will move all of its CNG facilities and equipment manufacturing facilities and offices from the downtown Quigdao site to Jingrun before September 30, 2008.  
 
“This lease will provide a steady revenue stream for Company operations and expansion plans. Sinoenergy is expanding by developing a network of retail CNG filling stations in China,” said Mr. Bo Huang, Sinoenergy's Chief Executive Officer. “We have the use rights for the facility into which Sinogas will move, and we expect that we will be able to finance our planned development of retail CNG filling stations through internal financial resources.”
