"Our core technology can drive many applications," states Mr. Remy Kozak, President and CEO of Power Air. "It is important for industry partners and OEMs to see our zinc-air fuel cell in end-user products; to emphasize the benefits and advantages we have over other slower-emerging and incumbent technologies."

The IFCI provides full environmental and unit testing facilities. In January 2006, Power Air announced an initial presence at the original National Research Council facility in Vancouver, Canada. With the recent move to a larger building, Power Air has acquired additional office space and a private lab space for design, staging and testing purposes.

"The opportunity to build out our presence in the leading Fuel Cell Facility in North America was not one we could pass up," continued Mr. Andy Turnbull, Director of Engineering at Power Air. "Our core technology development centre will remain in Livermore, with the Vancouver facility focusing on application-specific design and testing. This makes it a natural location to support demonstrations."

The official opening of the new IFCI Building will be on September 12th, 2006 and will include demonstrations of the various products and technologies developed by leading companies in the fuel cell sector.

"Power Air's initial demonstration will be a zero emissions indoor generator targeted for use in apartments, businesses, emergency and utility vehicles, recreational vehicles and boats," adds Mr. Don Ceci, VP Marketing & Sales at Power Air. "The generator will also be featured at a number of North American and International Power and Fuel Cell events in early 2007."
