QuestAir and Terasen Gas sign MOU

    QuestAir and Terasen Gas sign Memorandum of Understanding for biogas project
development in B.C.

    Under unique program, biogas from organic waste to be purified into
    clean, renewable energy source for Terasen Gas customers

    BURNABY, BC, Sept. 30 /CNW/ - QuestAir Technologies Inc. ("QuestAir" or
"the Company"; TSX: QAR; AIM: QAR) and Terasen Gas Inc. ("Terasen Gas") have
signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding whereby the companies will
work jointly on the development of potential projects to produce supplies of
bio-methane from organic waste. This clean energy source would be injected
into Terasen Gas's existing pipeline system for distribution to homes and
businesses.
    Under terms of the two-year non-binding memorandum, QuestAir will support
the Terasen Gas Request for Expressions of Interest in biogas projects.
QuestAir and Terasen Gas will share information regarding market developments,
government policy and technology on purifying biogas to a quality suitable for
injection into Terasen Gas pipelines. QuestAir will also help identify
potential biogas opportunities in B.C., and will participate in stakeholder
workshops planned for B.C. this fall.
    "We are delighted to be working with Terasen Gas," said Andrew Hall,
President and CEO of QuestAir. "The utility has taken a leadership role in
facilitating the development of a biogas market in British Columbia through
its recent announcement of a request for expressions of interest for biogas
upgrading projects."
    The initiative supports the B.C. Energy Plan's objective to increase the
province's production of clean and renewable energy, while reducing emissions
from waste methane, which is 21 times more powerful in warming the atmosphere
than CO2.
    "This is another step in our plan to deliver alternate energy sources
that can be used by our customers to heat their homes and businesses and
provide fuel for water heaters, fireplaces and barbecues," said Doug Stout,
Terasen Gas Vice President, Marketing and Business Development. "Capturing an
untapped, waste energy source is one component of our commitment to meet the
B.C. government's clean energy objectives."
    QuestAir, Terasen Gas and Metro Vancouver are also co-operating on a
$1.1 million biogas upgrading project at the Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment
Plant in West Vancouver, which will recover and upgrade biogas generated from
the digestion of municipal sewage. Renewable natural gas from this project
will be injected into the Terasen Gas distribution system in West Vancouver,
and supply renewable energy to heat approximately 100 homes. The British
Columbia Innovative Clean Energy (ICE) Fund has committed $366,000 towards
this project.
    QuestAir has supplied methane purifiers to 10 plants worldwide that
upgrade biogas to biomethane, for injection into existing natural gas
pipelines and distribution to homeowners, or for use as a renewable vehicle
fuel.
