DALLAS, Feb. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE – Alternet Systems, Inc. (USOTC: ALYI) (“ALYI”) today announced plans
to pursue research investment for its hemp energy storage initiative to pursue the electric vehicle battery market anticipated to
reach $93 billion by 2026. ALYI management has seen interest for such investment in the market place in reaction to ALYI’s
hemp energy storage initiative and the recent passage of the 2018 Farm Act legalizing hemp farming in the United States.
“With the passing of the Farm Bill — making industrial hemp a lawful agricultural commodity in the United
States — hemp research is ready to take a big leap. Someday, we could be driving hemp-powered cars and using phones that
are powered by hemp!”

In October last year, Alternet initiated a project to explore and develop hemp-based technologies for energy
storage. The company engaged Clarkson University Professor David Mitlin to lead the initiative. Professor Mitlin is a
leading expert in electrochemistry and a pioneer in the use of hemp as a clean, green, renewable energy in the form of a
supercapacitor. Mitlin has successfully used hemp bast - the fiber left over from processing hemp - to construct carbon nanosheets
that compete with, and in some respects, outperform the supercapacitor performance derived from more typical graphene
nanosheets.
“The current top-performing supercapacitors use graphene. However, in 2004, Dr. David Mitlin of Clarkson University and researchers
at the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT), discovered that hemp-based supercapacitors outperformed graphene
supercapacitors in energy storage by nearly 200%.”

“According to a market research report by BIS Research, titled "Global Electric Vehicles Battery Market - Analysis
and Forecast (2017-2026)", the global electric vehicles battery market is estimated to reach $93.94 billion by 2026. The
demand for electric cars is increasing rapidly, with the global stock numbers crossing 2 million in 2016 after crossing 1 million
in 2015. The expected growth in the market for EV batteries is attributed to the increasing collaborations between the key
component manufacturers and rising number of OEMs. Moreover, falling battery prices and improved charging infrastructure are
expected to be the key factors in the growth of the market. The government bodies are actively promoting the usage of electric
vehicles to reduce high emission levels.”

ALYI has engaged Nouveau, Inc. (USOTC: NOUV) to source hemp fiber for its supercapacitor developments. NOUV
has recently announced a 100 acre hemp cultivation operation.
