We show how a stress-energy pseudotensor can be constructed in two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories (classical, CGHS and RST) and derive from it the expression for the ADM mass in these theories. We compare this expression with the ones in the literature obtained by other methods. We define the Bondi mass for these theories by using the pseudotensor formalism. The resulting expression is the generalization of the expression for the ADM mass. The boundary condition needed for the energy conservation is also investigated. It is shown that under appropriate boundary conditions, our definition of the Bondi mass is exactly the ADM mass minus the matter radiation energy at null infinity.
