The partner for the Northeast will be Air Liquide, whereas the California operator was First Element Fuel, a startup formed specifically to provide hydrogen for the upcoming crop of fuel-cell vehicles.

In May, Toyota loaned First Element $7.3 million toward the costs of building 19 hydrogen fueling stations in southern California.

The planned fueling network in the Northeast comprises 12 "strategically selected" locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.

John P. de Neufville purchased the ChemOvonics Division from ECD in 1986 and founded Voltaix, Inc. a high purity specialty gas business which was sold to Air Liquide America in 2013.[color=red][/color] Subsequently, he purchased the assets formerly associated with the GM-ECD JV that produced the then novel nickel-metal hydride batteries for GM's first all-electric car, the EV-1, creating a new company, Eutectix, LLC, based in Troy, MI and currently serving as Eutectix' CEO and Chief Scientist. His early research interests focused on materials for batteries, optical memory devices, and solar cells, prepared by sputtering, chemical vapor deposition and plasma deposition. At Exxon, John was a member of the team that developed a concept of selective remote sensing of uranyl minerals using laser induced fluorescence. At Voltaix he played a key role in scaling the synthesis of various molecules used for the chemical vapor deposition of insulating, semiconducting and conducting films for advanced integrated circuit and photovoltaic applications. John P.de Neufville holds a PhD. in applied physics and materials science from Harvard University and an M.S. in geology from Harvard University and a B.S. in geology from Yale University.

"We are very happy to have such an esteemed, successful entrepreneur and scientist join our Strategic Advisory Board," said Chris D'Couto, CEO Neah Power Systems, Inc. "He brings relevant experience both in semiconductor processing as well as battery energy storage and will be a valuable asset going forward in our commercialization and technology development efforts."
