SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 9, 2011) - Save The World Air, Inc. (OTCBB: ZERO) ("STWA" or the "Company"), an innovative company creating technology focused on energy efficiency of large-scale energy production and improved fuel economy for diesel fleets, today provided an update on Phase II testing of a product prototype of its Applied Oil Technology (AOT™) for supplemental oil viscosity reduction at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) in Wyoming.

"AOT™ has already been proven in laboratory tests to reduce crude oil's viscosity, which can lead to more efficient oil transportation through pipelines on land and lower extraction costs and transportation for maritime pipeline operators," stated Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte, Chairman and CEO of STWA, Inc. "By reducing the viscosity of crude oil, our technology can allow crude oil pipelines to operate more efficiently, increasing the daily flow of oil while reducing power requirements and the need for expensive chemical additives. This can help to offset potential environmental liabilities and provide the necessary downtime needed to safely maintain pipeline infrastructure and for repairs."

Mr. Kyte added, "We are looking forward to commencing Phase II testing of AOT™ in June as we put in place the final infrastructure at the DOE's test site. At our annual meeting last month, a RMOTC representative provided an overview of the specifications required for field-scale testing and the calculus involved to achieve surety in execution. As part of the technical requirements, we are now completing a straining system to safeguard against any potential contamination affecting the performance of our AOT™ prototype. Ensuring that this infrastructure is in place is crucial to optimizing the unit's performance so that the value that AOT™ offers to the industry may be correctly measured."
