Exhibit 99.1 ------------ NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information Contact: Daniel J. Haslinger, President and Chief Executive Officer info@nviro.com (419) 535-6374 -------------- 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." About N-Viro - ------------- N-Viro International Corporation develops and licenses its technology to municipalities and private companies. N-Viro's patented processes use lime and/or mineral-rich, combustion byproducts to treat, pasteurize, immobilize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products with real market value.
