Clean Air Partners Changes Name to Clean Air Power to Reflect Focused Strategy on Creating Affordable Clean Power.


Business Editors

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2003

Power Generation and Vehicle Markets Benefit from Clean Air

Power's Proven Technology for Cost-Efficient Low Emissions

Clean Air Partners today announced a name change to Clean Air Power, Inc. as part of its updated strategy to position the company for growth in markets with the greatest need for "power." Whether it is performance power for heavy-duty diesel vehicles or generating power from stationary diesel engines, Clean Air Power's customers benefit from cost-efficient solutions that dramatically reduce emissions to meet strict guidelines guidelines,

In most markets, economics rather than emission standards Emission standards are requirements that set specific limits to the amount of pollutants that can be released into the environment. Many emission standards focus on regulating pollutants released by automobiles (motor cars) and other powered vehicles but they can also regulate  is the main motivator to convert stationary diesel power generators to operate on less costly natural gas without replacing the system or sacrificing performance. Using a diesel power generation system as an active asset to reduce peak power requirements also saves energy costs when not operating on the local power grid. Regardless whether emissions mandates or energy cost savings are the driving factor, both segments experience the advantages of cost-efficient clean power technology today.

International expansion is integral to the company's growth plans, particularly where lowering emissions or fuel savings are of high importance. Regions with strict environmental regulations, such as the U.K., Australia, and Japan, offer incentive programs for engine manufacturers and fleet owners to be in emissions compliance. Clean Air Power is already working on converting 100 Dual-Fuel trucks in the UK and has enabled the first heavy-duty truck in Japan greater than 12 tons to meet Japan's 2003 Ministry of the Environment emissions guidelines.

) works together with natural gas (the main fuel). Based on this core technology, Clean Air Power has developed MicroPilot(R) for applications requiring very low emissions at 99 percent gas substitution rate, and FuelSolution(TM) with an 80 percent substitute rate where economics rather than emissions standards are motivators to convert diesel engines.

In addition, Clean Air Power offers an extensive after treatment product line for power generation applications and mobile after treatment for vehicles, as well as subcomponents for automotive and truck manufacturers to build low-emission gasoline gasoline or petrol, light, volatile mixture of hydrocarbons for use in the internal-combustion engine and as an organic solvent, obtained primarily by fractional distillation and "cracking" of petroleum, but also obtained from natural gas, by , natural gas and diesel vehicles.
