VANCOUVER, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Smartcool Systems Inc.
(TSXV: SSC), is pleased to report that Smartcool International Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has signed a Distribution Agreement
with Smartcool Systems GmbH to become the exclusive distributor for all
Smartcool products in the territory of Germany.

    The initial Memorandum of Understanding that was signed in October 2007
required a feasibility study, which comprised of the installation of the
Energy Savings Module (ESM(TM)) in multiple locations. This study has been
completed successfully and the savings reports generated from the tests
indicated significant cost savings.

    The signing of the Distribution Agreement coincides with an initial
order from Smartcool Systems GmbH for equipment to be installed in multiple
locations. These locations include the major target sectors that have been
identified by the distributor, being Food & Beverage, Data Centres and the
Telecommunications sector.

    "We are extremely excited with the signing of this agreement as
Smartcool is aggressively entering a market that is one of the largest
consumers of electricity in the world and one that relies on imports for
most of its energy supply" states George Burnes, President of Smartcool
Systems Inc. "Germany is widely accepted as a world leader in the adoption
of energy efficiency technologies. There is a commitment to meet European
Union targets for reduction in carbon emissions and also to alleviate the
pressures of ever increasing power costs to Germany's end-users. We are
fully aware of the advancements being made in Europe with respect to green
technologies and their adoption of such and Smartcool is committed to
expanding its presence in this region."

    Target Market - Germany:

    Germany is one of the world's largest energy consumers with limited
domestic energy resources which results in Germany importing most of its
energy. Germany has one of the largest economies in the world with GDP in
excess of US$2.8 trillion and is also one of the world's largest energy
consumers.

    Germany is the third largest carbon dioxide emitter in the OECD, behind
the United States and Japan. Germany has a strong commitment to protecting
its environment. It has actively promoted the use of renewable energy, both
under the Kohl government with the Electricity Feed Law and under
Schroeders' government with eco-taxes. However, Germany's reliance on coal,
particularly brown coal, for electricity generation and the heavy
industrialization of the economy has lead to serious problems with air
pollution, acid rain and habitat degradation.

    Germany ratified the Kyoto Protocol on climate change in May 2002
however the EU has decided to meet its Kyoto obligations as a whole, rather
than individual signatories. Under the EU's burden-sharing program, Germany
must cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 21% relative to the 1990 baseline
during the 2008-2012 commitment period.
