EATONTOWN, N.J.--Millennium Cell Inc. (NASDAQ: MCEL), a leading developer of hydrogen battery technology, today announced that it has been awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research Program ("SBIR") contract by the U.S. Navy. Under this six month program, the Company will develop a novel, safe, high energy density hydrogen storage system for use in small, portable fuel cell based power sources suitable for a variety of military applications.

The enhancements proposed under this program should result in a Hydrogen on Demand® system with more energy storage capability than previously demonstrated with a solid fuel composition that has infinite shelf life. We expect that the technology resulting from this program will deliver up to four times the energy density of military batteries in use today and will be made available to our licensees for implementation into future products.

"We are very pleased to have the opportunity to develop the next generation of our Hydrogen on Demand technology for the U.S. military. Together with our partners, we now have several research and product development programs underway with the U.S. Army, Air Force, Special Operations Command, and now the Navy to develop products which use our Hydrogen on Demand system," commented H. David Ramm, Millennium Cell Chief Executive Officer. "As our licensees' products mature towards procurement by military and commercial customers, we look forward to supporting them with continuously improving hydrogen storage technology."
