House Approves the 'American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009,' the Most Sweeping Energy Reform Package in Decades

SANTA BARBARA, CA, Jun 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Save the World Air, Inc. (OTCBB: ZERO), an innovative pioneer in the clean
technology industry focused on energy efficiency and air quality issues,
has begun the process of reviewing grant funding available under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Act allocates $256
million for three main areas of concentration, one of which includes
Advanced Materials in Support of Advanced Clean Energy Technologies and
Energy-Intensive Processes, which has been allocated $50 million.

"Recently the Obama administration proposed sweeping new fuel economy
standards for passenger cars and light trucks, and with the passage of the
American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 through the house recently,
it is likely that this legislation will become law," stated Mr. Cecil Bond
Kyte, Chairman and CEO of Save The World Air, Inc. "Now, U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) Secretary, Dr. Steven Chu has announced plans to provide
$256 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support
energy efficiency improvements in major industrial sectors throughout our
economy. Funding is targeted at reducing the energy consumption of U.S.
manufacturing and information technology industries, while creating jobs
and stimulating economic growth."

At a press conference President Obama was quoted as saying, "... you take
a look at the national fuel efficiency standard that we put into place --
I think it's fair to say that over the first six months we've seen more
action on shifting ourselves away from our dependence on foreign oil and
fossil fuels than at any time in several decades."

Mr. Kyte added, "STWA is perfectly positioned to respond to this, as our
products address these issues directly. We plan to manufacture in the
U.S., and as it is the DOE's intention to help create manufacturing jobs
quickly, along with jobs for technicians and experts who will be needed
in the long-term to maintain and operate the new equipment, we believe
STWA can help lead the way with its ELEKTRA technology."

The DOE will support research, development, and demonstration projects for
advanced industrial materials that can be used in fuel flexibility
programs, combined heat and power technologies, energy intensive
processes, and nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing. This project is
intended to help the U.S. industrial sector increase competitiveness,
while rapidly introducing advanced technologies.

Secretary Chu was quoted as saying, "Supporting the development of the
latest industrial technologies plays an important role in helping U.S.
industry to lead the world in energy efficiency and productivity." He
added, "Working together with American manufacturing and IT industries, we
will be able to create new jobs, reduce industrial energy use and limit
damaging greenhouse gas emissions."
