Houston, Texas--WOW Energy, Inc ("WOW Energies") announced today the signing of a contract with Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.("Siemens") to supply a WOWGenTM renewable energy power plant to produce 6 MW of electrical power for the Dyess Air Force Base (AFB) in Abilene, Texas. The WOWGenTM power plant will be an integral part of Siemens' $39 million dollar contract with Dyess AFB to provide electricity from a waste-to-energy plant through gasification of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).

The WOWGenTM power plant converts heat into electricity using WOW Energies' patented combined cycle turbo-expander Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system. The WOWGenTM power plant will convert the heat exiting the gasifier, to electricity, to create useful energy from MSW collected from the Dyess AFB and the City of Abilene. When complete, the AFB will be able to remove itself from the off-base electrical grid and still maintain 100% operations.

The Dyess AFB is a leader in integrating energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies into daily operations. In a visit to Dyess AFB in August this year, Alexander Karsner, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy stated: "We intend to build on the Air Force's leadership so that we can proliferate and accelerate uses of these clean renewable and energy efficient technologies across the nation."

WOW Energies' patented WOWGenTM and WOWCleanTM systems are a breakthrough in energy efficiency, waste heat recovery and pollution reduction technologies. "For the first time, industry has a viable technology to efficiently and economically convert low, medium and high temperature heat sources into usable electricity while dramatically reducing emissions and greenhouse gases (GHG). The positive impact of this technology on reducing fossil fuel consumption and GHG is enormous," stated Daniel Stinger, Chairman of WOW Energies and developer of the patented WOWGenTM and WOWCleanTM multi-pollutant reduction system.

WOW Energies is working with numerous companies to produce power from the recovery of waste heat or heat available from renewable energy sources such as Solar, Geothermal and Biomass fuels. When the WOWGenTM power plant is used to convert waste heat to electrical power, power is produced with zero emissions and zero GHG while the WOWCleanTM multi-pollutant reduction system simultaneously removes nearly all the NOx, SOx, VOC, Heavy Metals, Particulates and HCL that exist in the flue gas stream.

WOW Energies offers breakthrough waste heat capture and pollution reduction technologies. The Company's WOWGen and WOWClean systems are based on proprietary and patented technologies which offer outstanding energy efficiency and pollution capture capabilities. For the first time, an efficient technology now exists to use the waste heat that is generated in industrial processes. The technology converts waste heat into electricity, while also offering the addition benefit of almost completely capturing for safe collection pollutants such as NOx, SOx, heavy metals (including mercury), particulates and VOCs. Waste heat is the largest untapped source of readily accessible energy available today. The capture of waste heat to produce electricity means that future demands of increased electricity generation can be met for the foreseeable future without the need to burn additional fossil fuels. This coupled with the additional advantage of making electricity generation clean, the company's technologies point the way forward. The process is ideal for enhancing the efficiency and reducing the pollutants from natural gas and coal fired plants. When used to capture solar heat, WOWGen offers a new source of renewable energy. WOWGen is configured with equipment available from several competing suppliers, arranged in a unique patented process. WOW Energies also assists its clients in the engineering process to identify uses of waste heat and emission reductions.
