Millennium Cell and Horizon Fuel Cell Enter into Strategic Relationship
Millennium Cell Inc. (NASDAQ:MCEL)
announced today that it has executed a joint development and licensing
agreement with Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies focused on the
commercialization of fuel cell based power products that provide over 20
watts of power. Horizon, a Singaporean company with operations in China,
is a developer of commercial-grade, cost-competitive hydrogen fuel cell
solutions targeting a number of high volume markets.
The announced strategic relationship will allow Horizon to launch
practical and viable fuel cell power products as a competitive and
cleaner alternative to today’s lead acid
battery-based power systems. As part of this new relationship, Horizon
licensed Millennium Cell’s Hydrogen on Demand®
technology for the purpose of co-developing compatible hydrogen fuel
cartridges for the next wave of Horizon fuel cell products set to hit
the market in 2008. The first of a series of new Horizon fuel cell
products is a 50W emergency power unit designed to support disaster
relief professionals, enable communication during black-outs, and
provide recreational power in remote environments.
Horizon brought fuel cell technology to the general public with the
launch of a miniature hydrogen fuel cell car in 2006, the world's first
consumer fuel cell product that was selected by Time Magazine as a "Best
Invention of 2006”, labeled one of the "Coolest
New Products on the Planet” by Business 2.0,
and Silver Award winner for "Best Product
Design of 2007” according to Business Week.
Global demand for Horizon’s innovative
products has grown rapidly, with customers now in 28 countries and fuel
cell system shipments reaching tens of thousands of units. The company
is leveraging its success with small and simple products to create fuel
cell power systems for increasingly demanding applications.
"We’ve made huge
progress in making fuel cells affordable and marketable; we are now
removing infrastructure barriers by providing customers with practical
fuel solutions. By combining Millennium Cell’s
Hydrogen on Demand technology with Horizon’s
fuel cells into self-contained power systems, a compelling stored power
alternative will emerge in the context of today’s
multi-billion lead acid battery market,” said
George Gu, President and CEO, of Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies.
"We are delighted to secure a licensing
relationship with this industry-leading fuel cell innovator. Horizon has
already made the leap into high volume fuel cell production in China and
has extensive experience and distribution capability in the marketplace.
We are enthusiastic about launching a new generation of Hydrogen on
Demand enabled fuel cell power products with Horizon in 2008,”
commented Adam P. Briggs, Millennium Cell President.
