Governor M. Jodi Rell and the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology Inc. (CCAT) today announced that Connecticut will have a strong presence at the National Hydrogen Association Annual Hydrogen Conference 2007 and Hydrogen Expo US on March 19-22, 2007 in San Antonio, Texas.

“This is a great opportunity for our state to showcase our hydrogen and fuel cell industries,” Governor Rell said. “Connecticut’s fuel cell and hydrogen companies are national leaders. We intend to make sure companies and businesses from around the country know that Connecticut supports these industries and that this is the state where they should be making or buying fuel cells and hydrogen equipment.”

The Connecticut Hydrogen-Fuel Cell Coalition will be one of more than 90 exhibitors at the show that is expected to have more than 1,200 trade show visitors from over 15 countries. The Connecticut industry presence is designed to showcase the state’s resources and capabilities, attract businesses to Connecticut, promote the Connecticut Hydrogen-Fuel Cell Coalition, and demonstrate support for the fuel cell and hydrogen industries in Connecticut.

“Fuel cell and hydrogen technologies are critical to help solve energy management issues, improve environmental quality, and provide for Connecticut’s economic prosperity,” said Governor Rell. “The state is a national model for energy technologies and energy efficiency.”
