CO2 Air-Capture Leader GRT Announces Support of the Comer Science and Education Foundation

TUCSON, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
Global Research Technologies, LLC (GRT), a research and
development company dedicated to the commercialization of technology
for the capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, announced today
that the Comer Science and Education Foundation (CSEF) has assumed the
investment interest of the late Gary Comer. Founded in 2004 by Allen
B. Wright, inspired by the climate scientist Dr. Wallace Broecker, and
originally funded by the late Gary Comer, the founder of Lands'
End(TM), GRT is an early-stage technology company. GRT is dedicated to
the vision that air-capture, a concept theorized and refined over time
by Dr. Klaus Lackner, is a critical and feasible technology for carbon
dioxide management and climate change mitigation.

GRT President Allen Wright said, "Gary Comer's vision has been an
enormous inspiration both to me personally and to our company. His
generosity enabled GRT to develop air-capture as a viable solution to
the global problem of carbon dioxide build-up in the atmosphere. The
Foundation's assumption of his ownership interest is a continued
expression of support by the Comer family for the mission of both GRT
and The Foundation itself."

Bill Schleicher, President of GCI, Comer family advisor and CSEF
Vice President, added, "The Foundation and the family continue to
support the GRT mission. The late Gary Comer was convinced that
climate change is real and that the air-capture of carbon dioxide was
a potentially critical climate change mitigation tool. He would be
greatly encouraged by GRT's proof-of-concept progress and by the
commercial prospects of its technologies."

The Comer Science and Education Foundation was founded in 1998 to
support research efforts relating to climate change and to improve
inner city education. The late Mr. Comer became interested in climate
change in the summer of 2001 when he sailed through the Northwest
Passage with minimal contact with sea-ice. CSEF, whose President is
Guy Comer, the son of the late Gary Comer, has dedicated over $40
million since 2001 to support funding of climate change research.
