DCH Technology Inc. Will Unveil PEM Hydrogen Fuel Cell, April 7 - 9, 1999 at 10th Annual National Hydrogen Association Meeting in Vienna, Va
VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 1, 1999-- DCH Technology, Inc., Valencia, California (OTC BB:DCHT), will be unveiling its PEM Hydrogen Fuel Cell, April 7 through April 9, 1999 at the 10th Annual National Hydrogen Association meeting In Vienna, Virginia.
DCH will also unveil their newest Universal Gas Detector, measuring Carbon Monoxide, and for the first time the Robust Hydrogen Sensor integrated with Xybernaut(R)'s (Nasdaq:XYBR) Wearable Computer, the MA IV(TM), which provides hands free access to the collected data, an industry first for hydrogen detection and gas monitoring systems. The integrated system allows for real-time situational awareness in the inspection of aging aircraft, gas pipelines, bridges and railroads, a $9 billion annual industry.
The 10th Annual U.S. Hydrogen Meeting and Exhibition at the Sheraton Premiere Hotel at Tyson's Corner brings together more than 250 hydrogen advocates, business people, and researchers from several countries. Hydrogen is an inexhaustible element that is used daily in hundreds of processes from plastics and glass making, to powering the space shuttle and hydrogenating oils for food and even gasoline.
Hydrogen's future as a mainstream source of clean electric energy has come into focus in recent months thanks to faster than expected developments in electric vehicles. Mainstream automotive giants like Daimler-Chrysler (NYSE:DCX), Ford (NYSE:F), and Honda are making headlines for their development of hydrogen gas, and fuel cell powered electric cars.
Fuel cells use hydrogen, either in its pure state or through hydrogen-bearing gases like methane, to make electricity. Unlike other electric cars, fuel cell cars do not require large, expensive batteries. All fuel cells are clean; and when hydrogen is the fuel, the only by-product from the fuel cell is heat, pure water, and electricity. The introduction of hydrogen refueling stations, including a portable, refueling device that can be fitted in a car trunk, will also be highlighted.
On Thursday, April 8, Rep. John E. Peterson (R-PA) of the House Appropriations Committee will deliver the keynote address at 8:15 AM, expressing his support of hydrogen as a means of reducing air pollution and for its role in making America's energy future secure. Also on Thursday, NHA members will hear from two leading environmental advocates; Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute, and Christopher Flavin of the Worldwatch Institute.
