HOUSTON, Mar 07, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- American Security Resources Corporation (ARSC) announced today that its Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation subsidiary will deliver a beta unit of its proprietary HydraStax(TM) hydrogen fuel cell to be tested by Bonneville Power Administration (www.bpa.gov).

BPA is a major wholesale power producer in the Pacific Northwest. BPA representatives attended the demonstration of Hydra's breakthrough technology at Hydra's facilities in Beaverton, Oregon, in January. BPA has indicated to Hydra that there are thousands of remote facilities in their service area for which hydrogen fuel cells could provide backup and primary electric power.

Bob Farr, President of ARSC, stated, "This is a major milestone on our path to commercialization of this breakthrough fuel cell technology. The remote telecom and radio broadcast facilities where BPA sees using these fuel cells is a primary market for us. We can begin taking orders when we are through the first stage of certifications, probably in the next ninety days or so."

The HydraStax(TM) is designed to be the first commercially mass producible hydrogen fuel cell. It is designed for fixed power applications up to 40kW.
