FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla., June 17, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kalahari Greentech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:KHGT - News) released a statement today introducing its cutting-edge wind and solar technologies. Nearly $2 billion in money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has been spent on wind power, funding the creation of enough new wind farms to power 2.4 million homes over the past year. (Source: http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroo...ww.abcnews.com). Wind and solar are fast becoming the leading sources of renewable energy. Kalahari Greentech designs, produces and provides wind turbines, solar collectors and other sustainable energy technologies. Kalahari's Solar Collector is a three-part "tri-brid" system that increases the efficiency of solar collection in one cost-effective unit. Kalahari's Wind Generator concentrates wind energy in a manner such that it can generate electric power at speeds usually too slow for conventional wind generators to produce any meaningful energy, or to even operate. It can also be modified to operate in water, and is safe for birds and wildlife. According to the U.S. Department of Energy's news release dated March 25, 2009, entitled, "Solar Energy Grew at a Record Pace in 2008," solar energy deployment increased at a record pace in the United States and throughout the world in 2008. On March 19, 2009 the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) released its "2008 U.S. Solar Industry Year in Review," which found that U.S. solar energy capacity increased by 17% the past year, reaching the equivalent of 8,775 megawatts (MW). The SEIA report also notes that the United States installed 342 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) electric power, 139 thermal megawatts (MWTh) of solar water heating, 762 MWTh of pool heating, and 21 MWTh of solar space heating and cooling in 2008. (Source: http://www.energy.gov/). According to the American Wind Energy Association, the U.S. Department of Energy announced a goal of obtaining 6% of U.S. electricity from wind by 2020.

Kalahari Greentech Inc. is an energy company focused on developing, constructing and operating wind and solar energy projects, either on its own or in partnership with other energy companies. The company’s main focus is to seek out opportunities to utilize its technology to develop renewable energy sources. Growing concern for the health of the earth has led to an increased level of interest in sustainable energy resources. Wind and solar are fast becoming the leading sources of renewable energy. Kalahari Greentech designs, produces and provides wind turbines, solar collectors and other sustainable energy technologies. The company also specializes in the development and marketing of integrated GPS stereo camera products for applications in insurance, emergency management, and first response markets. The company’s technology uses novel integrated GPS and stereo photography to provide digital images with embedded GPS coordinates. Through the company’s proprietary image analysis software, GPS data on any objects within the captured digital image and relative distance between objects within the image can be calculated and displayed. The exact location of objects and relative distance between them on digital images can be very useful source of information for automobile accident investigations conducted by insurance companies, as well as for local police, emergency response teams, and for disaster assessment and recovery. Kalahari Greentech’s core competencies are: - Evaluation of projects - Management of development processes - Financing solutions These core competencies are handled by a permanent organization. Kalahari Greentech has chosen to outsource other assignments, either because it is not profitable for the Company itself to maintain in-house expertise in these areas or because the assignments are complex and require external assessment. Experienced local developers and local advisers with in-depth industry know-how and a large network are some of Kalahari Greentech's most important partners. Why Wind Power There are several major benefits to wind power. One of the most important is that wind power is the least expensive of all other forms of alternative energy. Wind turbines generate electricity at around 5 cents per kWh (Kilowatt Hour), which is comparable to the new coal and/or oil burning power plants. The costs are projected to decline even more as technology improves, and this is very important because most of the cost with wind power is in manufacturing. Once the wind turbines are in place there is little cost to maintain and wind power is free. Another tremendous benefit of wind power is that it is a sustainable source of energy and a clean source of energy. Wind power generation produces zero carbon dioxide emissions, which is important with our concern over climate change. Wind energy is also a renewable energy, meaning it does not deplete our natural resources like coal or petroleum based products. Wind Generator What makes Kalahari's Wind Generator different from other Wind Generators? Kalahari Greentech’s Wind Generator concentrates wind energy in a manner such that it can generate electric power at speeds usually too slow for conventional wind generators to produce any meaningful energy, or to even operate. Kalahari’s Wind Generator can be modified to operate in water. For instance, it can be utilized in streams, rivers and tidal basins. Kalahari's Wind Generator is safe for birds and wildlife Many wind generators on the market today are a hazard for birds and other wildlife. Kalahari’s Wind Generator avoids the bird strike problem. Each Kalahari Wind Generator comes standard with a shield that blocks birds from being hit by the turbine blades. The screen is sufficiently fine, such that not even a hummingbird can get through. The unit also releases short-range ultra-sonic waves that deter insects from nesting within the apparatus. Placement of Units Both the expansion and the work generated by the turbine while it generates electricity cool the gas back into a liquid and the cycle continues all through the solar heating cycle. The stored liquid can also be used to preheat domestic hot water, or to assist in heating a living space. Cost Effective Kalahari’s Wind Generators are cost effective when the energy they produce outweighs the cost of the unit. By installing at the point of greatest need, the units also eliminate the need to create an alternate energy power grid and suffer the transmission line losses. Target Market Research indicates that Kalahari's Wind Generator units are most cost effective in remote and rural areas. Why Solar Power Solar is the fastest growing energy source in the world, and for good reason. It offers a limitless supply of clean, safe, renewable energy for heat and power. And it’s more affordable, more efficient, and more reliable than ever. The advantages of Solar and other renewable power sources are clear: greater independence from imported fossil fuels, a cleaner environment, diversity of power sources, relief from the volatility of energy prices, more jobs and greater domestic economic development. All over the world, solar energy systems have reduced the need to build more carbon-spewing fossil-fueled power plants. They are critical weapons in the battle against global warming. As the cost of solar technologies has come down, solar is moving into the mainstream and growing worldwide at 40-50% annually. |

.Kalahari Greentech, Inc. Details the Solar Collector FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla., June 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kalahari Greentech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:KHGT - News) released a statement today discussing its high-tech Solar Collector in detail. Wind and solar are fast becoming the leading sources of renewable energy. Kalahari Greentech designs, produces and provides wind turbines, solar collectors and other sustainable energy technologies. Worldwide wind power generation exceeded 200 billion kilowatthours in 2008, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of over 18 million average households in the United States. Wind generation increased by about 25% from 2007 to 2008, and has more than tripled since 2003. This growth is mostly due to capacity increases in the United States, China, India, and Western Europe (Source: http://www.eia.doe.gov). According to the U.S. Department of Energy's news release dated March 25, 2009, entitled, "Solar Energy Grew at a Record Pace in 2008," solar energy deployment increased at a record pace in the United States and throughout the world in 2008.

(Source: http://www.energy.gov/). Kalahari's Solar Collector addresses the matters of collector and system efficiency to build a single cost-effective unit. To do this, the collector operates three functions simultaneously to enhance system performance. Hence, it has been labeled as a "Tri-Brid" system. Without all three functions being performed from a single integrated system, the solar collector would not be economically viable. However, since the three functions do take place together, Kalahari's combination Thermal-Voltaic Solar Collector proves to be a cost-effective unit.
