Results to be Studied as Part of Educational Outreach Program

LATHAM, N.Y.– Plug Power Inc. (Nasdaq:PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, and National Grid, an international natural gas and electric utility, today announced Union College as the site host for the trial of Plug Power’s residential fuel cell, GenSys. Plug Power’s 5 kilowatt combined heat and power (CHP) unit will convert natural gas into electricity and high-quality heat for the Beuth House residence hall on the Schenectady, New York campus.

As part of the educational outreach program included in this project, participants will also include Ballston Spa High School and Schenectady Museum. Both groups will engage students of all ages in fuel cell education and field trial data analysis.

This project is a result of a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced in November of 2008. Plug Power and National Grid will test the system in the real-life operating conditions at Union College. Collaboratively, the companies will use the critical data collected to determine system refinements for incorporation into the next-generation system design.

“Union College is an ideal field trial site due to its support of advanced energy initiatives, efficiency programs and associated curriculum,” said Mark Sperry, Vice President of Plug Power’s Continuous Power Division. “Moving our testing out of the lab and into the field is a pivotal point for Plug Power, as we push forward our agenda to commercialize our residential GenSys product.”

“National Grid is proud to be a part of this project and to work with Plug Power, Union College, The Schenectady Museum, Ballston Spa School District and everyone making this test project a reality,” said Stanley Blazewicz, Vice President of Global Technology for National Grid. “We believe fuel cells and other technologies can be vital parts of our energy solutions for the future and a way we can help our customers save money and reduce their carbon footprint.”

“We are excited to be part of this project,” said Richard Wilk, Mechanical Engineering Professor at Union College. “It will give our students the opportunity to see this technology demonstrated first hand and actually collect data from the unit and analyze its performance. Sustainable energy conversion technologies such as this are increasingly becoming an important part of our curriculum as well as our campus operations.”

Educational outreach programs will begin immediately. On July 9, 2009, sixth and seventh grade students participating in Ballston Spa’s Gateway Academy will spend an entire day learning about fuel cells. The program will include a tour of Plug Power to experience the engineering, testing, development and manufacturing process of a fuel cell. Students will also visit the Union College campus to see the installation of the GenSys unit in progress.

For the duration of the project, students will receive live data directly from the fuel cell site for analysis. “Our commercial success impacts the greater good of our community,” added Sperry. “Students will be able to follow and dissect our results as the field trial progresses. This will engage all education levels in the development of fuel cell technology and energy independence.”

“Giving the students a hands-on learning opportunity will allow for advanced understanding of the technology and why it’s critical for our future,” said Joseph Dragone, Superintendent for Ballston Spa Central School District. “We’re excited to be deeply involved in this project and it is an important part of our Partnership for Innovation in Education initiative.”

GARDNERVILLE, NV–(Marketwire – June 30, 2009) – SymPowerco Corporation (PINKSHEETS: SYMW) CEO John Davenport announced today that the company has signed a Letter of Intent (”LOI”) with Texas businessman Steven Humphries for the acquisition of a majority interest in Highline Hydrogen Hybrids, Inc. (”HHHI”), the manufacturer of a unique and proven hydrogen conversion system for gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles.

In April of 2009, Humphries entered an agreement to purchase 70% of HHHI. Under the terms anticipated by today’s Letter of Intent, Mr. Humphries will assign his HHHI interest to SymPowerco.

HHHI’s unique supplemental hydrogen fuel system, in addition to reducing dangerous emissions, has been shown to enhance the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines by as much as 25% and to increase horsepower by an average of 10%. HHHI also plans to release a commercial version of its supplemental fuel system for use on Over-The-Road commercial vehicles.

HHHI’s unique hydrogen converter has undergone rigorous testing and has a patent pending. The company is currently relocating from Northwest Arkansas to a 380,000 square foot building on 30 acres in Dumas, Arkansas. HHHI officials project gross sales of their products to reach nearly $3,400,000.00 over the next 18 months.

Stated SymPowerco CEO John N. Davenport, “We at SymPowerco are very excited about the potential HHHI revenue streams and the synergies that HHHI’s efficiency enhancing products could bring to our company. We believe that HHHI’s products would complement our Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell technologies by allowing SymPowerco to not only replace the internal combustion engine with the fuel cell in many applications but to also offer products to help reduce the environmental and energy-related impacts of the remaining fleet of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines.”

SymPowerco Corporation develops advanced fuel cell and power delivery systems for the rapidly growing personal transportation and portable power system markets being created by today’s energy and environmental challenges.
