                 N-VIRO ANNOUNCES NEW FUEL TECHNOLOGY SUBSIDIARY

Toledo,  Ohio,  Tuesday,  September  20,  2005 - N-Viro International Corp. (OTC
BB/NVIC.OB)  announced  today  that  it has formed a new subsidiary, Alternative
Fuel  Technology,  Inc.,  which  will exploit N-Viro's "N-Viro Fuel Technology".
The  N-Viro  Fuel  Technology,  covered  by  several patents and patent filings,
builds  on  N-Viro's  core bio-mineral technology to produce bio-made fuels from
organic  matters.  N-Viro  has  not  presently decided if the subsidiary will be
spun  off  or  will  remain  a  subsidiary.

Daniel  Haslinger,  N-Viro's  President stated, "The 'N-Viro Fuel Technology' is
the  result  of substantial work over time, but in view of the increasing energy
costs and the tax credit provisions of the recently enacted federal energy bill,
this is an opportune time to begin commercializing the technology.  We will seek
partners,  joint  ventures and strategic alliances with companies having similar
or  related  alternative  fuel technologies which can complement the N-Viro Fuel
Technology."

Forward  Looking  Statements
- ----------------------------
The  Company  cautions  that  words  used  in  this  document such as "expects,"
"anticipates,"  "believes"  and  "may," as well as similar words and expressions
used  herein, identify and refer to statements describing events that may or may
not  occur  in  the future.  These forward-looking statements and the matters to
which  they  refer are subject to considerable uncertainty that may cause actual
results  to  be  materially different from those described herein.  For example,
while  the  Company believes that trends in sludge treatment are moving in favor
of the Company's technology, such trends may not continue or may never result in
increased  sales  or  profits  to  the  Company  because  of the availability of
competing  processes.  Additional information about these and other factors that
may  adversely  affect  these  forward-looking  statements  are contained in the
Company's  reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
Company  assumes  no  obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect
actual  results,  changes  in  assumptions or changes in other factors affecting
