DCH Awarded Fuel Cell Contract By NPS
On July 19, 1999, Northwest Power Systems (NPS) announced it had selected DCH Technology to
provide a 3kilowatt fuel cell based on an advanced design, which was invented at Los Alamos National
Laboratory. NPS is a company that builds gas reformers and has garnered the confidence of the
Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) of the DoE that it could deliver an integrated home energy
system based on PEM fuel cell technology. This contract is viewed as a test of market readiness for
PEM fuel cell equipment. NPS and BPA will evaluate the DCH equipment and if testing is completed
satisfactorily then a large production order may be negotiated.
Cooperative Research Project Receive Good Evaluations
In May DCH participated in the annual technical peer review meetings with the U.S. Department of
Energy (DoE). DCH has three active projects currently being supported by the DoE-Hydrogen
Program: the fuel cell with Los Alamos National Laboratory, the fiber optic hydrogen sensor with
National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the thick film sensor with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
All three projects received good evaluations from the impartial panel and all are progressing in
accordance with approved plans.
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory CRADA Signed
DCH and Idaho National Engineering Laboratory have started a new cooperative research and
development agreement (CRADA) for the purpose of integrating the PEM fuel cell with a new
hydrogen gas production technology and demonstrating the utility of the system. The hydrogen gas
supply for fuel cell implementations is a critical component in building a competitive fuel infrastructure.
The CRADA is approved by the DoE's Hydrogen Program and will be peer reviewed annually.
Form 10SB Submitted to the Securities Exchange Commission
On August 6, 1999, DCH submitted its application to become fully reporting to the SEC. The
administrative, legal and accounting costs to support the research, audits, reviews and preparation
exceeded $100,000. DCH is pleased to have reached this milestone and anticipates that receiving SEC
approval may be helpful in further efforts to build the shareholder base.
UNLV Selects DCH For Safety On Hydrogen Bus In Las Vegas
The University of Nevada - Las Vegas is building a hydrogen-powered bus as part of a DoE
demonstration project. DCH is assisting UNLV and DoE with both a safety study and a H2 sensor
installation on-board the vehicle to provide safety & road-worthiness.
