Power Air Targets Multi-Billion Dollar Backup Generator Market; Zinc Air Fuel Cell Technology Could Displace Fossil Fuel-Based Generators

LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Power Air Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: PWAC), an alternative fuel technology company, announced
today its intent to enter the multi-billion dollar indoor and outdoor back up
generator markets with its unique Zinc Air Fuel Cell (ZAFC) based technology.
"Utilizing our state-of-the-art, zinc-based fuel cells, we are developing
the world's first cost-effective, re-fuelable back-up generator that can
operate indoors, safely, silently, efficiently, and emissions-free, with
extended run capability," said Don Ceci, VP Sales & Marketing for Power Air.
"Replacing traditionally expensive and inefficient outdoor generator sales
with our environmentally-friendly, cost effective solution provides a
'Greenfield,' significant revenue opportunity- estimated at several hundred
million potential indoor sites worldwide."
As a result of power outages nationwide becoming more and more frequent
and widespread, apartment and home occupants are regularly inconvenienced and
often placed in dangerous situations due to power outages that result from
storms and technical failures. Residents and businesses are forced to cope
with no lights, no heat, no information, spoiled food, and no working
appliances or equipment for hours, days or even weeks at a time. Battery
operated back-up generators are the current solution, but these generators
often cannot be used indoors, are noisy, dangerous, polluting, heavy and
messy. No extended run back-up solution is currently offered to apartments
and small businesses unless the whole building is backed up with a large
diesel or natural gas generator.
"Products powered by our Zinc Air Fuel Cell can be the first cost-
competitive, clean air alternative to existing fossil fuel powered
generators," adds Steve Williams, Power Air's President. "The lifetime and
durability demands for these First to Market applications are more achievable
in the short term than those of transportation and co-generation which require
much longer life time and established fuel infrastructures."
Power Air will initially focus resources on developing Generator products
fueled by its ZAFC technology, for indoor and outdoor settings, offering its
exclusive technology to OEM partners already successfully serving those
markets. The first Power Air ZAFC-based product will be provided to OEM
partners for integration into a Portable Emergency Generator ("PEG") designed
for back-up, emergency, or stand-alone use. Power Air intends to address the
"sweet spot" (over 70%) of the traditional generator market - with units
ranging from 600 Watts to 6.6 kW. These units can also meet the back-up power
needs of a large portion of the initial demand for indoor generators.
