Hydrogain Technologies, Inc., to Establish Nat'l Hydrogen Awareness Campaign

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Sept. 22, 2004 -- U.S.-based Hydrogain
Technologies, Inc., a developer of hydrogen generation and
storage technologies for generators, reactors, power plants,
fuel cells and hydrogen vehicle refueling systems, announced
today that it is establishing a "National Hydrogen Awareness
Campaign" geared toward educating America's youth on the
importance of transitioning to alternative and renewable
energy sources such as hydrogen.

Carl Anderson, Hydrogain's Vice President of Corporate
Development, stated, "As alternative fuel sources such as
hydrogen, wind power, hydropower, and solar energy catch on,
the time is ripe to begin an educational effort to help the
country's young people understand the importance of making
the transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy
sources." Anderson cited frustration over America's
dependence on foreign oil, concerns about the environment,
national security, and worldwide legislation as factors that
have brought the alternative energy movement to the fore.

"Ironically, scientists continue to debate about the exact
timeframe in which the world will deplete its fossil fuel
sources," said Anderson. "Yet the fact is it's inevitable,
and we must be prepared," he commented.

In preparation for this inevitability, the U.S. government
has even put in place a hydrogen deployment plan called the
Hydrogen Posture Plan, which details how our country will
eventually transition to a complete hydrogen economy. In
addition, almost every major automobile manufacturer is
developing a hydrogen vehicle. General Motors has more than
$1 billion invested in its hydrogen program.

"Many celebrities are opting for hybrid cars, such as the
Toyota Prius, Ford Escape, Honda Insight, and Lexus's
forthcoming hybrid SUV, over the high-end luxury brands -
even with a 12-month waiting list and prices thousands of
dollars over sticker," noted Anderson.

It also may come as a surprise to most people that some of
the world's largest oil companies such as Exxon,
ChevronTexaco, Shell, and British Petroleum (BP) are
investing heavily in alternative fuels - hydrogen in
particular. Anderson commented, "If these multinational
corporations are preparing for the future, so should we."

Hydrogain's National Hydrogen Awareness Campaign will
initially be deployed through a variety of media, direct
mail and advertising channels and eventually through
collaborations with elementary schools and educators. It is
scheduled to launch January 1, 2005.

"A successful transition from a fossil fuel-based economy
must begin with our youth," Anderson said in conclusion.
"While the government is doing a good job with its own
hydrogen education effort, partially through President
Bush's $1.2 billion Hydrogen Fuel Initiative, the outcome
could be even more tremendous if the public sector took a
more proactive role in the education process. We must win
the hearts and minds of our children and the coming
generation if we are to succeed."
