EATONTOWN, N.J.--Millennium Cell Inc. (NASDAQ:MCEL) announced today that the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”) has created new regulations that permit the transportation in carry-on baggage on passenger aircraft of micro fuel cell systems which utilize fuel cartridges including the sodium borohydride fuels being developed by Millennium Cell to power electronic devices. Fuels covered include fuel for HOD™ systems and next-generation Solid State HOD™ systems. The Company expects these ICAO model regulations, which are developed by international consensus, to become effective world-wide by January of 2009.

Earlier this year the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) proposed similar regulations for the U.S. This international action ensures harmonization of U.S. and international regulations, and allows world-wide use of Millennium Cell's hydrogen batteries. These new regulations require that fuel cell cartridges and systems conform to design and performance standards issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission.

"The authorization by the International Civil Aviation Organization will support the use by air travelers of Hydrogen on Demand® fuel cartridges in micro fuel cell powered electronic devices," said Adam P. Briggs, Millennium Cell President. "This is an important step towards providing consumers with significantly longer runtime hydrogen batteries and will enable greater functionality, convenience, and utility in portable electronics.”
