BluePoint Energy's ``Lean-One'' Co-Generation System Exceeds SCAQMD Clean Air Requirements During CARB Certified Testing.

Business Editors

RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2002

BluePoint Energy Products, Inc. (BluePoint) announced today that it has received testing results from Best Environmental, a Livermore, California based California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified laboratory stating that the new BluePoint Co-Generation system utilizing its proprietary "Lean-One" emission technology has dramatically exceeded the strict air emission requirements of the State of California and particularly the requirements of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), the most restrictive air containment zone in the U.S.

Chief Executive Officer, Guy Archbold stated, "NOx emissions requirements for the State of California are not to exceed 0.90 grams NOx per horsepower hour. In the highly publicized area of Southern California, emissions are tightly monitored by the SCAQMD. The requirement is a super low 0.15 grams NOx per horsepower hour and represents among the lowest requirement in the nation, if not the world. BluePoint's results registered 0.038 grams NOx per horsepower hour, nearly 60% below the SCAQMD requirement. These successful results by a CARB certified laboratory are a significant milestone in the sub-Megawatt Co-Generation marketplace. BluePoint will now begin marketing its "Lean-One" System Nationwide and in the demanding California Market, particularly in the Southern portion of the State.

BluePoint Chief Scientist Robert Dibble, Ph.D. commented, "BluePoint Energy's "Lean-One" System takes NOx emissions to the lowest levels usually approached only by natural gas turbine engines. With the arrival of this lean burn reciprocating engine alternative, lowest NOx is far more affordable. Environmentalists will be further pleased by noting that in the less-than-one-Megawatt category, the fuel efficiency of the "Lean One" surpasses that of gas turbines. High efficiency not only leads to less CO2 emitted into the environment, but also amounts to fuel cost reduction and savings. All things considered, the BluePoint 260 kW "Lean-One" likely emits less than an equivalent power electric motor."
