For further details of these and otherrisks and uncertainties that may impact forward-looking statements and theCompany`s business and financial results, see information set forth under theheading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal yearended December 28, 2008, and in our other filings made from time to time withthe Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “We believe corporations need to be responsible in thesearenas now, rather than wait for government mandates before they take thesteps that will help ensure a healthy environment for future generations.”99% Pure Nanofibers and 100% Green Hydrogen”Our advantage is that we are able to produce nanofibers at greater than 99%purity, as well as 100% green hydrogen in a one-step process,” says Yinan Jin,Catalyx Nanotech Chief Research Scientist. “Purification of nanomaterials fromtypical carbon batches is an extremely expensive undertaking for commercialapplications. Catalyx Nanotech is eliminating the extra work and,consequently, the expense of separating nanofibers from byproducts, such asamorphous carbon, soot, etc., that make nanomaterials so costly today.
Weexpect to commoditize nano-scale graphite materials at prices comparable tohigh quality synthetic graphite used in electrodes and refractoryapplications. After some preliminary test runs, we will also integrate a smallfuel cell to demonstrate how the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen andoxygen can produce electrical energy, as opposed to the direct combustion ofhydrogen and oxygen to produce thermal energy. This in situ generation ofgreen electricity with a zero-carbon footprint is just one possible use of thehydrogen.”Low Cost, Distributed Production Makes Hydrogen Economy Viable”The key to the success of a hydrogen economy is affordability and theavailability of the hydrogen infrastructure,” explains Juzer Jangbarwala,Catalyx Nanotech Founder and Chairman. “By default, the number of landfills isdirectly proportional to urban population centers.These landfills couldprovide LOCAL sources of low-cost ‘green’ hydrogen to nearby filling stations.By using renewable landfill gas, not only is the carbon footprint of thehydrogen production process eliminated, but also much of the footprintassociated with transportation of hydrogen — often hundreds of miles — isalso eliminated.Catalyx Nanotech’s technology can make hydrogen AFFORDABLE. Catalyx Nanotech’sapproach all but eliminates the transportation that accounts for approximately50% of hydrogen’s cost and the 10% lost to leakage.
Catalyx Nanotech’s smalllow-cost plants are easy to build, are low maintenance, and integrate easilyinto existing landfill sites – a major advantage over alternative energyproduction methods. Additionally, production costs are offset by the valuablenanomaterials produced during the hydrogen production process. Juzer concludes, “Our approach offers a viable way to a greener transportationeconomy while employing environmentally friendly production processes andhelping reduce costs for the broad spectrum of products that utilizenanomaterials.”The pilot will run through June 30.Plant tours for potential clients andlandfill representatives are available by appointment through 6/30.About Catalyx Nanotech, Inc Catalyx Nanotech Inc. is a spin off from the technology incubator, Catalyx,Inc., and was formed with the vision of using renewable resources to producehigh quality nanomaterials. By utilizing cost-effective and patented catalysistechnologies, Catalyx Nanotech is able to produce its unique Platelet GraphiteNanofibers from methane, which is produced naturally from decaying organicmaterial in garbage at landfills. These nanofibers have been proven to deliverexceptional performance in a wide variety of applications.
