  QuestAir and ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company begin 2nd phase of
                 project to develop on-board hydrogen generator

BURNABY, B.C. - QuestAir Technologies Inc. (AIM: QAR; TSX: QAR) announced today
that it has received a US$1.2 million (C$1.4 million) engineering services
contract from ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company ("EMRE") to support
the development of an on-board hydrogen generator for potential use in a range
of transportation markets.

Jonathan Wilkinson, President and CEO of QuestAir, said the contract, which is
expected to run for approximately one year, is the second received from EMRE in
support of this program. QuestAir completed the first phase of the program in
October 2004 under an initial US$1 million (C$1.2 million) contract. The
contract announced today covers the application of QuestAir's proprietary
mechanical technology in EMRE's proprietary fuel processor (or "reformer")
design.

"The supply of hydrogen fuel is a key challenge in the commercialization of
early motive fuel cell markets such as fuel cell powered utility equipment,
auxiliary power units (APUs) for a wide range of vehicles, and fleet buses. The
hydrogen generator that EMRE and QuestAir are developing should offer a compact,
efficient solution to generate hydrogen directly on board the vehicle itself.
One of the key advantages of the system is its flexibility to use a range of
readily available hydrocarbon fuels," Wilkinson said.
