PRESS RELEASE

Steve Gilchrist, CHEC VP, Elected to Board of Directors of National Hydrogen Association brings a Canadian perspective and two decades of involvement in the hydrogen industry to the largest hydrogen industry association in North America

Steve Gilchrist, Vice President of Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company, the world’s leading manufacturer of on-board hydrogen electrolysers, was elected to the Board of Directors of the National Hydrogen Association at its recent Annual Hydrogen Conference in San Antonio, Texas. The NHA is the largest hydrogen trade association in North America with over 100 members drawn from industry, government and academic and research institutions, including several key Canadian hydrogen companies.

Elected in the “Small Business” category, Mr. Gilchrist will assist in the communication efforts of the hydrogen industry, particularly in Washington, but will also strive to ensure that Canadian companies have access to the government policy-making and funding in the United States. “It is critically important, at this stage of the evolution of the hydrogen economy, that governments on both sides of the border are aware of the full range of hydrogen products that are available today and the speed at which new products are being brought to market”, said Mr. Gilchrist. “Government funding is increasingly being directed towards demonstration projects and Canadian companies are world leaders in the hydrogen industry. As North America faces increasing fossil fuel prices and more stringent emission standards, there will be an increasing demand for the only truly “green” energy carrier – hydrogen”, he added.

As part of his efforts on the Board, Mr. Gilchrist will seek to increase the participation rate by Canadian researchers and manufacturers in the workshops, conferences and educational programs being developed by the NHA.

Steve Gilchrist has been the Vice President at Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company since December 2003. Prior to joining CHEC, he was the first Commissioner of Alternative Energy for the province of Ontario and was responsible for regulatory and legislative issues relating to a broad range of technologies, including wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and hydrogen. While in that role, Mr. Gilchrist was responsible for a series of incentives to promote energy conservation and the use of cleaner fuels, especially ethanol- and biodiesel-blended fuels. An ardent environmentalist, during his eight years as a Member of Parliament in Ontario, he played a key role in the creation of the Rouge Park, the world’s largest park in an urban setting, the protection of the Scarborough Bluffs and the banning of development on virtually all of the Oak Ridges Moraine and area of over 1900 square kilometers north of Toronto.

About the National Hydrogen Association (NHA). The NHA is the premier hydrogen trade organization in the United States led by over 100 companies dedicated to supporting the transition to hydrogen.  Programs are focused on education and outreach, policy, safety and codes and standards.  Since 1989, the NHA has served as a catalyst for information exchange and cooperative projects and continues to provide the setting for mutual support among industry, research and government organizations.

CHEC achieve a number of significant milestone
2007 has already seen CHEC achieve a number of significant milestones. Over and above our ongoing participation in all the large truck shows in North America (and many specialty and local shows, as well), CHEC has been invited to participate in a number of important international conferences. These have included the largest environmental conference in the Middle East (Environment 2007 in Abu Dhabi), the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Expo in Tokyo and the National Hydrogen Association Conference in San Antonio. The Tokyo Expo is the largest Hydrogen Industry trade show in the world, with 25,000 people attending over four days. That show generated contacts in Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand – even Finland! Over the past year, Steve Gilchrist has been invited to speak about Hydrogen Fuel Injection at nine different international conferences and, at most of those conferences, CHEC has also had a display booth to show off the newest HFI models. We already have invitations to participate in five more conferences this year, on three different continents, as part of our ongoing efforts to better educate industry, governments and researchers about the important role that HFI can play in the global transition to an all-hydrogen economy.

Our presence at these conferences has dramatically increased international interest in our products and we now have companies in 54 countries interested in distributing HFI. In Australia, alone, we have 15 different companies eager to promote HFI in the trucking, marine, taxi and emergency vehicle markets and more companies are contacting us every month. The conferences also gives us a chance to talk directly with government officials responsible for emissions standards in countries all around the world to ensure that they consider HFI as a viable option when looking at how to deal with the global problems of air pollution and global warming.

It’s obviously paying off, as awareness of the benefits of adding hydrogen to diesel fuel is clearly growing. Earlier this year, CHEC won the first ever government Request for Proposal in the United States to outfit municipal buses with Hydrogen Fuel Injection technology. When governments actually specify hydrogen-addition, it’s clear that HFI has reached new levels of recognition and customer satisfaction!

2007 is poised to be our best year yet, with more dealers, in more countries than any competitive product. There is no doubt that “HFI” has set the benchmark for all other manufacturers to follow – and we intend to keep that #1 position!

U.S. Patent Allowed!
CHEC is pleased to announce that it has received the “Notice of Allowance” from the US Patent Office for a pending patent application for its electrolysis cell technology. The US Patent Office allowed the application, thereby recognizing the inventive nature of many aspects of CHEC’s technology. CHEC’s technology was ruled by the Patent Office to be patentable over the existing patents, including those alleged by a Canadian competitor as supposedly invalidating CHEC’s corresponding Canadian patent. In CHEC’s view this ruling confirms the weakness of the competitor’s allegations. Upon the US patent issuing, CHEC will have, under US law, an exclusive right to make, have made, use and sell its patented technology in the US. Adding this US patent to CHEC’s already issued Canadian patent substantially enhances the company’s intellectual property rights. Corresponding patent applications are pending in most foreign countries and CHEC looks forward to expanding and will enforce its exclusive rights in all such countries as such applications are examined, approved and issued to patent.

Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company Ltd would like to thank Bev Oda for her public support of a local company.

Ms. Bev Oda (Durham, CPC): Mr. Speaker, the Durham region is one of the fastest growing areas in the greater Toronto area. We need to ensure that we do not fall behind. Durham needs a regional transportation plan and the federal government is an important part of this plan. The federal portion of the gas tax that will be dedicated to assisting rural areas and smaller communities is a key building block.

I rise today to congratulate a business in my riding which is doing its part to advance transportation and environmental causes and to contribute to cost savings for our municipality. The hydrogen fuel injection system, developed by Bowmanville based Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company will result in improved fuel economy and a reduction in emissions when installed on municipal buses.

Clarington is the first municipality in Canada to install this new technology on its buses. This is the kind of forward thinking that demonstrates--the true potential in Durham

STEVE GILCHRIST – Vice President, Government Affairs
After a highly successful career as an executive in retail operations with Canadian Tire, Steve was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1995. While serving as a Member of Provincial Parliament for 8 years, Steve’s public activism extended across multiple, often overlapping roles within Cabinet, and as Chair of several key committees.
Well known for his commitment to a wide variety of environmental issues and his long-standing interest in hydrogen technologies in particular, Steve was appointed as the first Commissioner of Alternative Energy for the province of Ontario. In that position, he initiated the most significant movement towards renewable power ever taken by a Canadian province. Under his leadership, a comprehensive survey of all renewable energy technologies world-wide was conducted, followed by the creation of some of the most progressive energy policies in North America.
In his new role at Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company, Steve will focus on raising awareness within the public and private sectors of the key transitional role that the HFI System can play as our society moves over the next two or three decades, towards a pure hydrogen economy.
