``Fuel Cell 30'' Recognized by Fuel Cell Management

AKRON, Ohio--March 11, 2004--Leading figures in fuel cell technology are recognized in the spring issue of Fuel Cell Management magazine. The inaugural Fuel Cell 30 is the magazine's list of persons having significant impact on the budding industry.

The list acknowledges the contributions made by these individuals toward the establishment of fuel cell technology as a reliable, clean alternative energy source. It also serves as the industry's "Who's Who," including representatives from private enterprise, government and academia.

Making this year's list are the new Governor of California, as well as Iceland's Minister of Industry. A Walt Disney Imagineer and a NASA test pilot are on the list, too.

"If there were a Cooperstown for alternative energy, you could make an argument (for induction) for everyone here," said David Dalton, the magazine's publisher. "Getting it down to just 30 was difficult. There are so many people moving the technology forward. We could have justified a list twice this long."

Fuel Cell Management reports on commercial and technical breakthroughs in the development of fuel cell systems and related products. The magazine also addresses the challenges associated with the implementation of an emerging technology. It is published by Fuel Cell Media Group, LLC, based in Akron, Ohio.
