          FUEL-TECH N.V. ANNOUNCES TWO FUEL CHEM(R) ORDERS, INCLUDING A
                          MIDWESTERN COAL DEMONSTRATION


         STAMFORD, CONN. SEPT. 1, 2005 -- Fuel-Tech N.V. (Nasdaq: FTEK), a world
leader in advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion
systems in utility and industrial applications, today announced two FUEL CHEM(R)
orders for the Company's proprietary Targeted In-Furnace Injection (TIFI)
technology. The first order represents a demonstration on a 500 megawatt (MW(e))
boiler burning Illinois Basin coal, with start-up anticipated late in September.
The second order, for which chemical feed is already underway, is for a 450
MW(e) oil-fired boiler in the Caribbean.

         Steven C. Argabright, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented,
"Although Western coals represent our primary target market, we are very pleased
with the gains being realized in applying TIFI technology to other fuel types.
The demonstration on Illinois Basin coal represents the second such project in
as many months, while our new Caribbean business reflects the displacement of a
competitive technology, further attesting to the economic and operating benefits
of Fuel Tech's unique approach."

         Mr. Argabright concluded, "These expanding market announcements are
particularly timely as ongoing rail disruptions will reportedly persist for the
balance of the year, hampering Powder River Basin coal deliveries. Although we
expect certain FUEL CHEM customer accounts to continue to be adversely affected,
we are maintaining the Company's $45 million to $48 million revenue outlook for
2005."

         New technologies that have grown out of the core NOx reduction business
form the basis of the FUEL CHEM(R) business. FUEL CHEM technology centers around
the unique application of chemicals to improve the performance of combustion
units by controlling slagging, fouling, corrosion and opacity. The Company's
FUEL CHEM products are being applied to over 80 combustion units burning a wide
variety of fuels including coal, heavy oil, biomass, and municipal waste. Both
the NOx reduction and FUEL CHEM businesses rely heavily on the Company's
exceptional Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling skills, which are enhanced by
