ECD Presents at Parliamentary Workshop on Clean Air and Clean Water Held in Johannesburg Two-day workshop held in conjunction with United Nations' World Summit on Sustainable Development September 05, 2002 16:14 ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ECD) (Nasdaq: ENER) announced that Nancy M. Bacon, its Senior Vice President, participated in the two-day Parliamentary Workshop on Clean Air and Clean Water organized by the Parliamentarians for Global Action, a membership organization of legislators from 100 countries. The Workshop was held in conjunction with the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg from August 26 through September 4, 2002. Mrs. Bacon discussed the unique role ECD's renewable energy technologies can play in promoting clean air and clean water while alleviating poverty. During her presentation, Mrs. Bacon discussed the company's energy generation and storage technologies, in particular its Ovonic(TM) triple- junction thin-film amorphous silicon photovoltaic and Ovonic(TM) nickel metal hydride battery technologies. She discussed the wide-ranging environmental benefits of solar energy and the advantages afforded by Uni-Solar(R) products, which include flexibility, ruggedness, lightweight and radiation hardness. With approximately two billion people lacking access to electricity, Mrs. Bacon discussed several rural electrification projects the company had undertaken with the objective of alleviating energy poverty and affording social and economic opportunities to the poorest of the poor. During her presentation, she proposed several means by which governments can hasten the use of renewable energy. Commenting on the opportunity to represent ECD in Johannesburg, Nancy Bacon said, "I was pleased to have the chance to draw attention to our proprietary Ovonic photovoltaic and nickel metal hydride battery technologies and the role they can play not only in reducing pollution worldwide, but in bringing rural electrification for the first time to some of the most isolated rural communities in Mexico and Uganda." ECD is the leader in the synthesis of new materials and the development of advanced production technology and innovative products. It has pioneered and developed enabling technologies leading to new products and production processes based on amorphous, disordered and related materials, with an emphasis on advanced information technologies and alternative energy, including photovoltaics, fuel cells, hydride batteries and hydride storage materials capable of storing hydrogen in the solid state for use as a feedstock for fuel cells or internal combustion engines or as an enhancement or replacement for any type of hydrocarbon fuel. ECD designs and builds manufacturing machinery that incorporates its proprietary production processes, maintains ongoing research and development programs to continually improve its products, and develops new applications for its technologies.
