SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--ECOtality, Inc. (OTCBB:ETLY), a technology innovator that addresses the global energy challenge by developing and commercializing eco-friendly technologies, today announced an agreement with GreenMountain Engineering, LLC, a leading product and manufacturing consulting firm specializing in clean energy technologies, to act as consulting engineers on the Hydratus™ project. GreenMountain Engineering will work with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Airboss Aerospace, Inc. in the research, development, and testing of a 5-10 kW stationary Hydratus system for remote and residential use. Hydratus is a portable apparatus that operates in conjunction with existing hydrogen fuel cell technology, and is a patented technology of ECOtality, Inc.

“GreenMountain Engineering has extensive experience, knowledge, and expertise in the clean technology sector,” said Jonathan Read, CEO, ECOtality. “The addition of GreenMountain Engineering to ECOtality’s development team allows us to act quickly upon the recent Hydratus breakthroughs from JPL and is a pivotal step in the development of a Hydratus prototype.”

ECOtality’s Hydratus addresses the commercialization issues facing hydrogen fuel cell technologies by producing hydrogen on-demand — using magnesium and water — in a system that emits no exhaust other than pure water. Under the terms of the agreement with ECOtality, GreenMountain Engineering will provide research and development engineering services for the Hydratus technology.

“GreenMountain Engineering has a record of successful prototype and product development and a reputation for overcoming difficult design challenges,” says Keith Gazda, Lead Engineer of the GreenMountain project team. “We believe that our expertise in helping to bring innovative clean technology products to market will speed commercialization of Hydratus while ensuring it is delivered in-specification.”
