                    QuestAir to supply methane recovery system
                             to Cincinnati Landfill




VANCOUVER, B.C. - QuestAir Technologies Inc. (AIM: QAR; TSX: QAR) announced
today that that it has received an order for a M-3100 system to recover pipeline
grade methane from landfill gas ("LFG") at the Rumpke Sanitary Landfill located
near Cincinnati, Ohio.


GSF Energy LLC ("GSF") has purchased QuestAir's system, valued at approximately
US$2 million, as part of an expansion of an existing methane recovery plant
operated by GSF at the landfill site. QuestAir's M-3100 will replace an existing
pressure swing adsorption ("PSA") methane purification system that has reached
the end of its useful life.


Jonathan Wilkinson, President and CEO of QuestAir said that purified methane
from QuestAir's system will be injected into an existing natural gas pipeline
operated by Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company, and supplied to residential and
commercial customers in suburban Cincinnati.


"High energy prices and a tight supply of natural gas in North America have
increased interest in upgrading renewable sources of methane such as LFG to high
value fuel to supplement existing supplies of natural gas. QuestAir's M-3100
provides unique value to developers of these so-called "high Btu" LFG projects
by offering attractive economics and accelerated equipment delivery lead times."


"The landfill gas market represents an exciting growth opportunity for QuestAir.
On average 20 to 30 new LFG energy projects are developed in the US each year,
and the US Environmental Protection Agency has identified over 600 candidate
landfills for project development," Wilkinson said.


The Rumpke Sanitary Landfill serves approximately two million residents and
20,000 local businesses in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Once installed,
QuestAir's M-3100 system will upgrade 6.0 million cubic feet of LFG per day,
producing sufficient purified methane to heat approximately 8,700 homes.


About the QuestAir M-3100

QuestAir's M-3100 PSA product upgrades methane-containing gas streams to
high-purity methane, suitable for supplementing existing natural gas supplies.
QuestAir's proprietary PSA technology was originally developed to purify
hydrogen for industrial markets, such as oil refineries, and for fuel cell
markets. QuestAir's PSA process and proprietary rotary valve technology deliver
higher efficiency than conventional PSA systems in a more compact,
cost-effective package. QuestAir has sold more than 60 PSA systems since 1997 to
customers in North America, Asia and Europe.
