               Bion Confirms Participation in SUNY Oswego's Forum

July 8, 2010.  New York, New York.  Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc.
(OTC BB: BNET) today confirmed its participation at a public issues forum on
July 14, hosted by SUNY Oswego's Office of Business and Community Relations
at their Campus Center auditorium.  The forum, sought by Bion along with
Operation Oswego, Oswego County's economic development group, will address
Bion's proposed beef cattle production facility that would be integrated with
beef processing and biofuels production.

"Bion welcomes this opportunity to engage the Oswego Community, the academic
and scientific community and others in a transparent and professional forum,
as we welcome every opportunity to educate about our technology and its
possibilities," stated Craig Scott, Bion's VP Capital Markets.

Presenting at the forum on behalf of Bion will be Dominic Bassani, Director
of Strategic Planning; Jeff Kapell, Vice President of Project Development;
and Dr. James Morris, PhD, Chief Technology Officer.  Bion's proposed
integrated project is centered on a livestock production facility that uses
the company's patented and proprietary technology platform to capture and
manage the waste stream.  Instead of being lost to contaminate the
surrounding and downstream environment, the waste stream is stabilized and
treated, much like the principles behind municipal wastewater treatment.  It
is then converted into a renewable energy feedstock that will initially be
used to help power the project, but is expected to ultimately be converted
directly into a cost-effective next-generation biofuel.

By integrating the production, processing and biofuels facilities of this
proposed venture in close proximity to each other, the project minimizes
transportation fuel use and reduces its products' overall carbon footprint
dramatically.  The entire project, producing both food and fuel products with
minimal environmental impacts, would be the leading example of environmental
sustainability in the agriculture and biofuels arenas in the world.

For additional information about the proposed project, Bion has established a
website that is designed to provide the stakeholder community of Oswego
County - residents, government officials, members of environmental and other
public interest groups, academics and interested parties - an opportunity to
learn about Bion's demonstrated and 3rd-party reviewed waste treatment
technology and its proposed integrated cattle finishing project directly from
Bion, at www.bionoswegoproject.com.

Reservations are required; for more details, see the announcement from Oswego
SUNY at http://www.oswego.edu/news/index.php/site/news_story/bion_forum/

Mr. Scott added, "We've spent 20 years developing a state-of-the-art
technology that largely eliminates the environmental impacts of livestock
waste.  We are now developing a showcase project at one of the largest farms
in Pennsylvania as part of the efforts to reduce pollution to the Chesapeake
Bay.  That ability to mitigate the environmental impacts of the waste creates
opportunities to develop new and environmentally-sustainable integrated
livestock/renewable energy projects that can provide long-term skilled jobs
to the local communities that need them, as well as stimulus for new
production from existing local agriculture.  The data from our Pennsylvania
project will be available prior to a final approval regarding the Oswego
project.  But we also understand that our technology is unique, our
opportunities not well understood, and we look forward to the chance to
correct that."
