News Release
 
New Energy Releases Power Production Estimates & Commercial Targets for its Novel Technologies

Columbia, MD - April 21, 2011 - New Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: NENE) today provided important product performance and target market goals, key to the ongoing commercialization efforts of its SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ technologies.  The Company’s technologies are the subject of 24 patent filings.  SolarWindow™ and MotionPower™ are under development as distributed second generation systems for the generation of sustainable clean energy at or near customers' point of electricity consumption. Calculated energy production and electricity output estimates, and specific commercial target markets and product goals for both technologies were made available today in an updated Company Overview (see attached).

SolarWindow™ is capable of generating electricity on see-thru glass, and is currently under development for commercial, structural, architectural, and residential glass products.  New Energy's MotionPower™ systems capture  available kinetic energy from vehicles at points where these vehicles are required to slow down or come to a stop and creatively converts this kinetic energy into electricity, thus ensuring that moving vehicles are not ‘robbed’ of energy and fuel otherwise required for acceleration.

John A. Conklin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, noted that, “We are pleased to provide our stockholders and the investing public with this important Company Overview, which contains product goals and information that elaborates on our commitment to achieving important and strategic initiatives towards corporate and product development.”

About New Energy Technologies, Inc.
New Energy Technologies, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a developer of next generation alternative and renewable energy technologies. Among the Company’s technologies under development are:

 
1

 
 
 
·
[mp_logo.jpg] MotionPower™ roadway systems for generating electricity by capturing the kinetic energy produced by moving vehicles – a patent-pending technology, the subject of nine patent applications in the United States and two international patent filings. An estimated 250 million registered vehicles drive more than six billion miles on America’s roadways, every day; and
 

 
·
[sw_logo.jpg] SolarWindow™ technologies which enable see-thru windows to generate electricity by ‘spraying’ their glass surfaces with New Energy’s electricity-generating coatings.  These solar coatings are less than 1/10th the thickness of ‘thin’ films and make use of the world’s smallest functional solar cells, shown to successfully produce electricity in a published peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy of the American Institute of Physics.
 
Through established relationships with universities, research institutions, and commercial partners, we strive to identify technologies and business opportunities on the leading edge of renewable energy innovation.  Unique to our business model is the use of established research infrastructure owned by the various institutions we deal with, saving us significant capital which would otherwise be required for such costs as land and building acquisition, equipment and capital equipment purchases, and other startup expenses. As a result, we are able to benefit from leading edge research while employing significantly less capital than conventional organizations.
