STWA's Technology Highlighted in Popular Science Magazine

ELEKTRA™ Technology Featured in 'Planet Fixer' Article, February 2009 Issue

MORGAN HILL, CA--(Marketwire - January 21, 2009) - Save The World Air, Inc.'s (OTCBB: ZERO) ELEKTRA™ Technology is highlighted in the February 2009 edition of Popular Science Magazine. The issue was recently released to subscribers and is hitting the newsstands now.

The article, titled "Planet Fixers, Clever Innovations for a Greener Future," highlights technologies that are being developed to provide solutions to existing environmental and energy production issues. A section of the article called "Diesel Diet" focuses solely on STWA's ELEKTRA technology.

"Since this article was released we have received numerous phone calls from companies and organizations worldwide looking for more information on the ELEKTRA," commented Cecil Bond Kyte, Chairman of Save The World Air, Inc. "The excitement and anticipation of the release of our products is very rewarding to everyone on the team at STWA. We are working diligently through the testing and certification processes to bring the ELEKTRA product to the diesel trucking market in 2009."

The Company believes that the prospect for organizations to save millions of dollars annually in fuel costs, depending on the size of the company, is an attractive draw for fleet managers and others who are responsible for managing their organization's fuel consumption. "Even a small percentage fuel savings, when you're talking about fleets that consume millions of gallons annually, quickly becomes meaningful," added Kyte.

"We are enthusiastic about the prospects for this and other technologies at the company. As a significant shareholder myself, I am motivated to work diligently with our partners at Temple, our engineers, staff and consultants to ensure a rapid and effective market roll-out," stated Kyte.
