MEMORANDUM

DATE:    February 20, 2008

TO:      Ron Kreider, Kreider Farms

FROM:    David Mager and Steve Pagano, Bion

RE:      Draft Memorandum of Understanding between Bion Environmental
         Technologies and Kreider Farms

                    --------------------------------------

The purpose of this MOU is to describe the intent of the parties in proceeding towards a final agreement for the installation of a Bion waste treatment system (System) at Kreider Farms (KF). Upon execution of this non- binding MOU, Bion will proceed to work with various branches of Pennsylvania (PA) state government as well as its federal representatives. Bion will be seeking definitive direction and in some cases agreements related to the following:

1. Nutrient credit purchase on a long term basis for the credits that will be generated from the KF installation.
2. Protocols for nutrient certification testing.
3. Fast track approval of the modifications required for the initial installation at KF to treat the initial 1400 dairy cows.
4. Subsidies at the state and federal level to offset some of the costs of the project.
5. Pricing from local contractors.

All of the above costs will be covered by Bion. Following the advancement/completion of these activities, Bion will present KF with a specific proposal and contractual parameters assuming that the project meets both parties' requirements. At this point, a firm binding contract would need to be executed. Prior to this firm agreement, Bion will have spent between $75--$100K in fees and overhead and once this agreement is executed Bion would be committed to an additional expenditure of $200,000-$300,000 or more with the understanding that the project will still be at the mercy of regulatory approval.

Bion currently anticipates developing this project in two phases. Phase I will consist of the design, construction and operation of a waste treatment system for the 1,400 dairy cows currently located in the main barn at KF's Manheim dairy farm. This system will be subject to a stringent testing program that meets the needs of Bion, KF, and the PA DEP. This process will ultimately determine the number of nutrient credits that get certified to sell to third party users such as municipal waste water treatment plants to reduce their nutrient discharges.

Once Phase I has been completed, Bion will work with KF and the DEP to initiate Phase II which will likely consist of incorporating the full 1,600 milk cows, 350 dry/fresh/sick cows, 1,150 heifers and 200 calves. .We will review with KF the feasibility of incorporating the chicken litter into our waste treatment process based upon its technical and economic feasibility. At this point we also anticipate that the detailed monitoring and demonstration programs will be completed and that a scaled down monitoring program consistent with KF long term needs and the PA DEP requirements will be left in place for the duration of the 10-year program.

Public support for Project:

Bion will take the lead and Kreider will support Bion's efforts to secure grant funds from governmental and foundation sources in order to obtain support for funding of this Project. Bion will meet with an assortment of Pennsylvania and US government/regulatory officials. These meetings will likely include state general assembly and federal congressional representatives, executive branch agencies such as the PA Department of Agriculture, PA Department of Environmental Protection, county extension agents, USDA officials, and other organizations that may have an impact on funding, subsidy payments, or general support. As a part of this process, Kreider will need to be prepared to receive and respond to calls from various private and governmental persons/entities to verify facts, clarify plans, and enter into general discussions related to the Project and be the applicant of record for grants and loans. The process may also include a few on-farm meetings, and, on some rare occasions, Kreider personnel may need to attend an off-site meeting. Kreider understands that its participation in this process will be crucial, with the understanding that Bion will work to minimize these sorts of distractions to the greatest extent possible. Ownership of the System:

1) Bion will build the System and agree to operate it for a period of ten years at the levels required to generate the contracted nutrient credits, or
2) KF has the option, after completion of the initial demonstration phase (about one year), to purchase the System. The purchase price will be the unamortized cost of the System at the time of purchase plus $200 per dairy cow technology license. For purposes of calculating the purchase price, the amortization will start upon the approval for credit sales by the PA DEP and will be straight line over 10 years.
3) The KF option will be for two years after the System has been certified for credits by the PA DEP. If KF did not exercise its option, at the conclusion of 10 years Bion will remove the System - details of site reconditioning to be part of the final agreement.
4) Bion would train KF personnel in the systems operation and thereafter provide periodic review of the installation while Kreider operates the System for at least the balance of the contracted 10 year period.
5) Kreider agrees to allow access to the Bion facility to those designated by Bion to be part of the analysis such as DEP staff and to allow Bion to utilize the site for visits from prospective Bion project reviewers from other states. A working arrangement for this issue needs to be part of any final agreement.
6) Bion agrees to waive its annual per cow operating fees at Kreider based upon our ability to fast track the project by incorporating existing Kreider waste management facilities that are already approved by DEP.

The final agreement between the parties will need to address many additional matters and agree on material terms acceptable to Bion and Kreider including the following:

1. Ultimate disposition of the by-products (coarse and fine solids, nutrients) from the System.
2. Operating standards for the System if operated by Kreider to continue to qualify for the nutrient credits.
3. Agreed upon procedure to enable Bion to bring visitors to the site.
4. Normal contractual requirements and provisions for both parties.

If the above reflects your understanding of the intent of the parties, please sign below and return to Bion together with the executed Confidentiality/Proprietary Information Agreement.

Yours,

Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc.

EXHIBIT 99.2

Bion Announces Plan for Initial Pennsylvania Dairy Installation to Reduce Ammonia Emissions and Nutrients in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

February 27, 2008. New York, New York. Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: BNET) announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with a large dairy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to retrofit its existing dairy operation with a Bion Nutrient Management System designed to reduce ammonia emissions and nutrients in the effluent. The installation will initially treat the manure from the main 1,400-head dairy barn, with follow-on expansions designed to capture the remaining manure from the milk house, heifers, dry cows, calves, and potentially the manure from the co-located chicken facilities.

Bion chose to undertake this project due in large part to Pennsylvania's nutrient credit trading program, which was established to provide cost- effective reductions of the excess flow of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) into the Chesapeake Bay watershed (including its tributary the Susquehanna River). The program is similar to the highly successful U.S. acid rain 'cap and trade' program that achieved 100% compliance in reducing sulfur dioxide emissions in the 1990s at a fraction of the cost that was originally anticipated. In a cap and trade program, credits are generated by operations that can reduce their discharges below an established baseline (cap). The credits can then be sold to polluters whose discharges exceed their baseline, where the cost to reduce their discharges would be greater than the purchase price of the credits used to offset them. Pennsylvania's nutrient credit trading program was designed to achieve the goal of overall nutrient reductions while providing flexibility to those that are required to make the reductions.

Bion has worked extensively with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection over the past year to establish a nutrient credit calculation/verification methodology that is appropriate to Bion's proven technology and recognizes its 'multi-media' (both water and atmospheric) approach to nutrient reductions. Bion's comprehensive livestock waste treatment technology establishes a vital 'first of its kind' approach to the fight against excessive nutrients in the Chesapeake Bay: a verifiable reduction of ammonia air emissions that would otherwise lead to downwind deposition and a continued unregulated source of nutrients in the Bay.

Although nutrient credits have not been previously certified for ammonia reductions, based on discussions with PA DEP, Bion anticipates that more than 40% of the nutrient credits it generates at the Lancaster County installation will come from the reduction of ammonia emissions. The balance of credits will be generated from the reduction of soluble form nitrogen and phosphorus in the effluent. Bion has already accomplished this level of ammonia reduction at the DeVries Dairy, a 1,300-head commercial dairy in Texas. The reductions were verified through independent testing and peer-reviewed by a team of scientists and engineers including representatives of several regulatory agencies (full peer-reviewed report: www.biontech.com). Bion will validate these reductions with the PA DEP during the Lancaster dairy's nutrient credit certification process.

Pennsylvania's nutrient credit trading program allows for voluntary credit trading between a 'non-point source' (such as a dairy or other agricultural sources) and a 'point source' polluter, such as a municipal waste water treatment plant or a housing development. For example, Bion can reduce the nutrients from an existing dairy (below its baseline discharge levels) much more cost-effectively than a municipal wastewater treatment plant can reduce nutrients to meet its baseline. The municipal facility can purchase credits from Bion to offset its nutrient discharges, rather than spending significantly more money to make the plant upgrades necessary to achieve its own reductions. The credit purchaser achieves compliance while saving taxpayer dollars and overall nutrients in the watershed are reduced. Bion anticipates that all or a significant part of the capital and operating costs of Bion's advanced manure treatment system on the dairy will be funded out of the credit transaction proceeds.

According to a 2004 report by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, there are approximately 185 million livestock animals (dairy cows, beef cattle, pigs, chickens, and turkeys) present in the Bay watershed at any given time. These animal operations produce 44 million tons of manure each year containing nearly 600 million pounds of nitrogen and 165 million pounds of phosphorus - representing a significant source of potential nutrient reductions and credits. According to data compiled by the Chesapeake Bay Program, animal manure accounted for 40% of the total nitrogen and 54% of the total phosphorus deposited in the watershed - much of this in soluble form that ultimately finds its way into the Bay.

A multi-media approach to managing the nutrients associated with large scale confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) is vital to solving the critical problem of eutrophication, where excessive nutrients in a body of water fuel the growth of algae, creating dense algae blooms that rob aquatic life of sunlight and dissolved oxygen. Eutrophication due to excess nutrients from livestock is not only challenging the health of the Chesapeake Bay, but also Lake Champlain (bordering Vermont, New York, and Quebec) and many other water bodies. The Gulf of Mexico now has a 'dead zone' the size of New Jersey where low oxygen concentrations do not support life. The Mississippi River, which empties into the Gulf, drains the watersheds throughout the nation's breadbasket, collecting nutrients from a 31-state swath that grows a much of the nation's crops and hosts the majority of our livestock. The Pew Oceans Commission reported in 2003 that runoff of excess nitrogen from animal feedlots is one of the greatest pollution threats to coastal marine life today.

According to the World Resources Institute, eutrophication is not unique to the United States. A WRI study has shown that there are currently 415 ecosystems suffering from eutrophication worldwide, and only 13 of these water bodies are said to be recovering; the rest are in decline. A U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization report in 2006 called the global livestock sector "one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems at every scale."

Mark Smith, Bion's President, stated, "Bion's Lancaster County installation represents a key development in terms of establishing a structure for cost- effective multi-media nutrient management for CAFOs. Bion's Nutrient Management System is the only process that provides a comprehensive solution that addresses both air emissions and nutrients in the effluent from livestock facilities. We are pleased that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has recognized the contribution that Bion's technology can make in the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay and other areas that suffer from excess nutrients. Programs like Pennsylvania's nutrient credit trading program provide substantial benefits to the public and the environment. As importantly, with the program, farmers can afford to install the technology."


About Bion: Bion's patented technology platform largely mitigates the environmental impacts of livestock facilities, such as dairies and cattle feedlots. The platform removes up to 95% of the nutrients in the wastewater effluent and reduces ammonia emissions by greater than 95%. Bion has been providing solutions to the livestock industry since 1990.

By virtually eliminating the environmental impact of livestock waste, Bion's technology creates the opportunity to develop sustainable integrated agriculture operations, comprised of large scale livestock operations balanced with highly-efficient biofuel production, in locations that maximize market opportunities. These state-of-the-art facilities incorporate onsite production and use of co-products - renewable energy produced from the livestock wastes and the distiller grains from the ethanol process - and produce significant advantages in environmental, energy and economic efficiency.
