Completes AOT Testing on Alberta Bitumen, Establishing Benchmarks for Opex Savings and Environmental Benefits in Oil Sands Market</B></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: center">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">SANTA BARBARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/00/17
-- QS Energy, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) (OTCQX: QSEP), a developer of integrated technology solutions for the energy industry,
today announced the successful demonstration of a modified AOT (Applied Oil Technology) system to measurably reduce the viscosity
of Canadian synthetic crude oil, offering pipeline operators the potential to improve flow volume, reduce reliance on diluents,
meet carbon emission reduction goals, and other measurable operational efficiencies. The field tests were conducted on Alberta
oil sands dilbit using a miniaturized AOT system which replicates QS Energy&rsquo;s full-scale vessels designed for use on high
volume commercial crude oil pipelines.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;Through collaboration with an upstream
customer we&rsquo;ve established a strong performance benchmark for AOT on oil sands products, achieving results on par with laboratory
testing conducted at Temple University by Dr. Rongjia Tao, a leading researcher in the development of technologies based on the
use of electrorheological principles,&rdquo; commented Greggory M. Bigger, QS Energy Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. &ldquo;In
the lab, we have routinely attained viscosity reduction of similar degree on super heavy, heavy, and ultra-light crude oils ranging
from 15% to more than 40%. Though we are restricted from disclosing specific details of this in-field test, we can report that
they correlated well with laboratory results and full-scale testing performed on closed-loop and commercial pipelines.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Developed in collaboration with crude oil
producers and transporters to optimize the performance of the global pipeline infrastructure, AOT was originally field tested on
a closed-loop pipeline by the U.S. Department of Energy at the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center during which viscosity reductions
greater than 56% on a medium crude oil product were recorded. <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">A more recent commercial deployment
of a four-vessel AOT Midstream system on a high-volume, mid-continent pipeline achieved viscosity reductions better than 20% on
heavy crude oils, results that were&nbsp;independently verified by&nbsp;third parties.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;This month&rsquo;s successful benchmark
test on diluted crude oil from oil sands sources demonstrates strong potential for reducing operational overhead costs for our
customers and helping them meet CO2 and methane reduction goals which is particularly relevant with the availability of tax credits,
rebates, and other financial incentives through carbon levy and carbon pricing programs,&rdquo; Mr. Bigger stated. &ldquo;Because
AOT is designed specifically to increase pipeline efficiency and throughput and reduce reliance on diluent and other additives,
it can deliver substantial savings by <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">lessening the degree by which these thinning agents
displace feedstock and take up valuable pipeline capacity. This factor alone can drive tens of thousands of dollars a day to the
bottom line of producers when AOT is in use on a high-volume pipeline transporting 100,000 to 200,000 barrels per day.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Mr. Bigger added
that with the introduction of Alberta&rsquo;s <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">Carbon Levy on January 1st of this year,</FONT>
the retrofitting of AOT for use in treating Alberta oil sands could not be more timely.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">&ldquo;</FONT>By
improving flow, countering pipeline pressure drop, and increasing pipeline capacity, AOT can potentially lower pump station power
consumption and thereby reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,&rdquo; he stated. &ldquo;<FONT STYLE="background-color: white">Based
on the support of Alberta&rsquo;s Climate Leadership Plan by the largest producers active in the oil sands, we agree that revenue
generated from market-driven carbon pricing programs will encourage the development and use of GHG-reducing technologies and position
Alberta as a recognized global leader in the application of clean technologies in the oil and gas industry.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Home to the third largest oil sands deposits
in the world, the Province of Alberta and the companies active in the region have made finding solutions to improve the flow of
the thick, asphalt-like bitumen a central focus of research and ongoing capitalization. Despite a reduction in new projects following
a drop in spot prices in 2014, oil sands output is still projected to reach 3,000,000 barrels per day by 2020. The growing use
of new extraction and processing technologies also hold the potential for bitumen production to become profitable at the current
oil benchmark prices of $50 USD per barrel, according to a report issued last month by CIBC World Markets, the research arm of
the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Covering an area of roughly 54,800 square
miles in northern Alberta, the Athabasca, Peace River, and Cold Lake oil sands deposits contain an estimated 315 billion barrels
of recoverable oil, approximately 80% of which is extracted through drilling and other forms of in-situ production. The bulk of
the bitumen and dilbit produced in the region and diluent used as a thinner are primarily transported by the Cold Lake, Corridor
and Polaris pipeline systems. With AOT&rsquo;s efficacy now tested on a variety of oil sands samples, its ability to significantly
reduce the viscosity of bitumen and its derivatives could help maximize the intended benefits of carbon-pricing within the Alberta
energy sector which contributes in excess of $50 billion annually to Canada&rsquo;s gross domestic product of $1.5 trillion</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">About AOT (Applied Oil Technology)</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Developed in partnership with scientists
at Temple University in Philadelphia, AOT (Applied Oil Technology) is the energy industry's first crude oil pipeline flow improvement
solution using an electrical charge to coalesce microscopic particles native to unrefined oil, thereby reducing viscosity. Over
the past four years AOT has been rigorously prepared for commercial use with the collaboration of over 30 engineering teams at
19 independent oil production and transportation entities interested in harnessing its demonstrated efficacy to increase pipeline
performance and flow, drive up committed and uncommitted toll rates for pipeline operators, and reduce pipeline operating costs.
Although AOT originally attracted the attention of pipeline operators motivated to improving their takeaway capacity during an
historic surge in upstream output resulting from enhanced oil recovery techniques, the technology now represents what we believe
to be the premiere solution for improving the profit margins of producers and transporters during today's economically challenging
period of low spot prices and supply surplus.</P>
