"We expect this collaboration will yield a proprietary, cost effective, high performance air diffusion cathode with longer lifetime -- a critical milestone in our ongoing efforts to commercial zinc air powered products," stated Remy Kozak, President and CEO of Power Air. "In addition to extending our Intellectual Property protection, we will have the potential to generate further revenue streams from Air Cathode sales to other fuel cell and battery companies going forward."

Under the terms of the Agreement, Power Air and NRC-IFCI will develop an optimal non-noble catalyst, a support structure for the catalyst and a low cost process suited to mass production of the cathodes. Power Air will have the sole right to commercially exploit the Intellectual Property arising from the collaboration in relation to Zinc Air-based energy systems and the first right of refusal in fields of use other than Zinc Air-based energy systems.

"By employing the fuel cell testing capability resident at the NRC-IFCI, the corresponding membrane electrode assembly performance can also be validated in a real fuel cell operating environment," added Andy Turnbull, Director of Products at Power Air. "NRC-IFCI is a perfect collaborative match, as they have the facility, the equipment, the expertise and the mandate to help develop commercial fuel cell based products."
