HyPower Fuel Announces Environment Energy Centre Project

HIGH RIVER, AB--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - HyPower Fuel Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HYPF)
previously announced its vision of an Environmental Energy Centre (EEC) for
the construction and advancement of biofuel and alternative energy
technologies and processes.

Mr. Douglas Bender, President of HyPower, today announced that "HyPower and
its development partners will undertake to construct an Environmental
Energy Centre in a non-food feedstock location. The EEC will own and
control sufficient feedstock sources to ensure the longevity and
profitability of the overall project."

Mr. Bender went on to explain that "The single largest hurdle to the
construction of any biofuel plant is the assurance of a cost-effective and
reliable source of feedstock, particularly non-food feedstocks whose price
can often fluctuate widely with the price of oil. This became even more
apparent to us after we attended the recent Biodiesel and Biomass National
Conferences in San Francisco and Portland. We outlined our plan for an EEC
and it was well received by venture capitalists, equipment suppliers,
growers, feedstock providers, technology providers and the general public.
The contacts we made at the Conferences are invaluable in allowing us to
capitalize on our technologies in multiple jurisdictions."
