The Harvest Energy Technology, Inc. SMR Hydrogen Generator Goes Global

Sun Valley, CA - Harvest Energy Technology, Inc. (HET) has been awarded a contract to deliver a 100 Nm3/h High-Pressure Steam Methane Reformer (HPSMR) hydrogen generator to the Chinese Petroleum Corporation (CPC) of Taiwan.  The hydrogen generator will supply hydrogen for chemical feedstock and hydrogen refueling applications.  The project is being managed by Asia Pacific Fuel Cell Technologies, Ltd. (APFCT) to assist in the development of a metal hydride-based hydrogen refueling infrastructure to commercialize fuel cell powered transportation vehicles in Taiwan.

HET’s 35 Nm3/h HPSMR was successfully commissioned at the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District  (AC Transit, Oakland, CA) hydrogen energy station during the second quarter of 2006.   The HPSMR hydrogen generator supplies hydrogen to refuel three fuel cell buses and up to twelve fuel cell vehicles being operated at the facility.  The hydrogen energy station, designed, constructed and operated by Chevron Hydrogen Company also includes an HET Low-Pressure Steam Methane Reformer (LPSMR) that was commissioned by Chevron at the AC Transit facility in late 2005.  The HET LPSMR has logged over 7000 hours during operation at AC Transit and Chevron’s former Montebello Technology Center in Montebello, CA.

HET supplied a LPSMR fuel processor that was integrated into a hydrogen generator commissioned by Air Products in early 2006 at Penn State University.  HET supplied a LPSMR to Scandiuzzi Advanced Technologies for integration into a hydrogen generator that was commissioned at an industrial site during the summer of 2006.  HET supplied a HPSMR fuel processor to Hydrogenics Corporation for integration into a hydrogen refueling station that was commissioned at the Korean Gas Technology Corporation (KOGAS) research and development facility in Incheon in late 2006.

Harvest Energy Technology, Inc. Fuels the Hydrogen Economy with Reformer-Based Hydrogen Refueling Stations in 2006

Sun Valley, CA - Harvest Energy Technology, Inc. (HET) takes a lead role in the supply of reforming technology for hydrogen refueling stations being commissioned throughout the world in 2006.

HET's proprietary Steam Methane Reformer (SMR) hydrogen generator was integrated into a hydrogen energy station built by an affiliate of Chevron Technology Ventures LLC for the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District at their Seminary Avenue facility in Oakland, California. The energy station was successfully commissioned in 2005 and has begun refueling zero-emission fuel cell buses that will be operated at the site over the next two years.

HET successfully demonstrated operation of its High-Pressure Steam Methane Reformer (HPSMR) in 2005. A HPSMR hydrogen generator will be installed at the AC Transit facility in the second quarter of 2006 to provide additional hydrogen refueling capacity for demonstration of a fleet of zero-emission fuel cell cars.

HET supplied a SMR fuel processor to Air Products in 2005. The SMR fuel processor was integrated into a hydrogen generation and fueling system being constructed by Air Products at Penn State University that will be commissioned in early 2006.

HET will supply a HPSMR fuel processor to Hydrogenics Corporation for integration into a hydrogen refueling station that will be installed at the Korean Gas Technology Corporation (KOGAS) tech, research and development facility in Incheon during the summer of 2006. The hydrogen energy station will be capable of refueling approximately 20 fuel cell powered vehicles.

HET will supply a HPSMR hydrogen generator to New Energy Solutions, Inc. that will produce high purity hydrogen from anaerobic digester gas. The hydrogen generator will be operational in mid-2006 and will demonstrate the use of inexpensive renewable energy sources for the production of hydrogen. The project is receiving funding from the USDA and the US DOE under the joint Biomass Initiative. HET will supply an SMR to Scandiuzzi Advanced Technologies in early 2006 for integration into a hydrogen generator to be located at an industrial site in Italy.

Harvest Energy Technology, Inc. Provides the Core Technology for Natural Gas-Based Hydrogen Refueling Demonstration Projects in 2005

SUN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Harvest Energy Technology, Inc.\(HET) continues its role as the prime source for the supply of natural gas-based distributed hydrogen generation technology for hydrogen refueling applications

HET will supply its proprietary Methane Steam Reformer (SMR) hydrogen generator to be integrated into a hydrogen energy station that will be built by ChevronTexaco Hydrogen Company for the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District at their Seminary facility in Oakland, California. The station is scheduled for opening in the fall of 2005. The HET hydrogen generator was selected following field tests conducted in 2004 at the ChevronTexaco Montebello Technology Center.

HET will supply its proprietary high pressure SMR fuel processor to Hydrogenics Corporation under contract to ChevronTexaco for testing in mid-2005.

HET cooperated with Air Products to construct the first natural gas-based hydrogen generator for demonstration within a distributed hydrogen fueling station in the United States. The fueling station, provided by Air Products under cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is located in Las Vegas, NV and was dedicated in November 2002. Air Products recently contracted HET to provide the fuel processor as part of a next generation hydrogen generator and fueling station. The DOE project will be located by Air Products at Penn State University and is scheduled to be operational in late 2005.

HET will assemble and test a hydrogen generator for The Boeing Company in 2005. The Boeing Company proprietary hydrogen generator is a forward looking technology that can offer significant economic benefits for refinery and centralized hydrogen generation applications.

Harvest Energy Technology, Inc. Delivers a 100 kW Hydrogen Generator to Air Products for the Las Vegas, Nevada Demonstration Project.

SUN VALLEY, Calif., June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Harvest Energy Technology, Inc., a leading fuel processor development company, has delivered to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (NYSE: APD) a 100 kW hydrogen generating system for a hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle fueling station. The vehicle fueling station, to be located in Las Vegas, Nevada, is part of a United States Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored hydrogen demonstration project being built by Air Products.

The hydrogen generating system uses a proprietary fuel processor developed by Harvest Energy Technology, Inc. The hydrogen generation system was built in a collaborative effort with Air Products, specifically for use in hydrogen fueling applications. The hydrogen generator will provide distributed, on-site hydrogen, generated from natural gas for a multi-purpose fueling system capable of dispensing hydrogen to power vehicles. The hydrogen generator will also supply hydrogen to a stationary 50 kW PEM fuel cell, developed by Plug Power, Inc., to demonstrate on-site electric power production.

This demonstration project will also serve to promote the development of a hydrogen infrastructure to assist in the commercialization of fuel cell powered vehicles in the United States. The vehicle fueling station and overall project is targeted to be fully operational during 2002's fourth quarter.
