WILMINGTON, Del.--HyPower Fuel, Inc. (OTCPK: HYPF) is pleased to announce that it is well positioned to take advantage of Canada's new Clean Air Act which was announced on October 19, 2006. According to the Minister of the Environment, Ms. Rona Ambrose, the Act is a first step forward in protecting the health of Canadians. The Act demonstrates a clear commitment to the establishment of short-term to long-term industrial air pollution targets. These fixed targets would compel polluters to respect emission limits and will be at least as stringent as those in other leading environmental countries. The Government is committed to achieving an absolute reduction in greenhouse (GHG) emissions between 45% and 65% from 2003 levels by 2050.

"The largest untapped source of energy is the energy we waste," said the Honorable Gary Lunn, Minister of Natural Resources. "It is important to create a level playing field that allows industry to invest in cleaner energy and reduce emissions while continuing to help our economy grow and maintaining competitiveness," said Minister Lunn. Minister Lunn continued to say that new and emerging technologies will play a significant role in helping industry achieve the targets.

Amendments to the Energy Efficiency Act will ensure the use of the most energy-efficient products, reduction in energy usage and improvement of air quality. The proposed new regulatory requirements will affect the energy efficiency of 30 products, such as traffic signals, battery chargers and commercial clothes washers. Minimum energy-performance standards will then cover 80 percent of the energy used in homes and businesses.

"This is an exciting time to be in the alternative energy business. Not only do we have products such as the Hydro Power Pak (HPP) that save businesses and consumers money, but these products are also instrumental in ensuring that the long-term health of the population is enhanced by improving the overall quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink. You can not ask more of a product than that," said Mr. Douglas Bender, President of HyPower Fuel, Inc.

About the Hydro Power Pack (HPP)

The HPP is a retrofit hydrogen insertion device developed for use on tractor trailer rigs as well as stationary diesel engines to improve fuel economy, reduce harmful emissions and increase engine performance and horsepower. Although the HPP does not eliminate the need for gasoline, diesel or other fuels it does provide the onboard production of hydrogen that supplements the primary fuel source. HyPower believes the HPP is more efficient than any existing form of electrolysis-based hydrogen production/insertion technology. The HPP is a transition technology paving the way for future retrofit hydrogen production technologies that will allow engines to be fueled totally with hydrogen produced on board, on demand.

About HyPower Fuel, Inc.

HyPower Fuel, Inc. is a category leading company in the energy technology sector, focusing on providing innovative alternative energy through hydrogen production and hydrogen related products. HyPower has successfully commercialized the integration of hydrogen production and hydrogen insertion technologies using electrolysis to improve the overall performance and efficiency of the internal combustion engine while burning gasoline, diesel, natural gas, liquid propane, ethanol, methanol or a combination of fossil fuels and biofuels. HyPower's signature product, the Hydro Power Pak (HPP), has demonstrated a significant impact on the performance of engines while at the same time increasing fuel economy, significantly reducing harmful emissions, inducing a cleaner more efficient burn, and increasing torque and horsepower. The HPP results in greater productivity, less carbon residue and sludge build-up and overall increased operating efficiency. HyPower is also engaged in the research and development of hydrogen production technology and biofuel products.
