Hydro Environmental Resources, Inc. Receives Letter of Intent to Design and Install Electrical Chemical Hydrogen Fuel Reactor at Terra Nova Nurseries


VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 12, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Hydro Environmental Resources, Inc. (OTCBB:HYVR) received a letter of intent from Terra Nova Nurseries to install its Electrical Chemical Hydrogen Fuel Reactor (ECHFR). The letter outlines the agreement to have a unit designed and installed to supplement both the existing hydronic root heating system, as well as providing hydrogen to be consumed through its converted natural gas burning commercial heating units within the greenhouse.

"This exciting project is the ideal forum to showcase our technology," says interim CEO Mark Shmulevsky. "It permits us to utilize all three aspects of our reactor. The first application is our heat recovery process. The unit will recapture the BTU or heat energy generated during the chemical reaction and channel it to provide heated water to the green house hydronic root heating system. The second application demonstrates our ability to provide Hydrogen gas to the converted natural gas burning commercial heating units. The third and emerging application is that of the collection of the re-sellable byproduct produced during the running of the ECHFR. The goal of this project is to reduce the overall costs and dependence on natural gas, as well as facilitating Terra Nova's aspiration to become a truly 'green' green house. We are extremely pleased to be working with a partner like Terra Nova Nurseries. Their award winning contributions and worldwide reputation for innovation in their field is a great foundation for us to begin building our relationship. The success of this project will allow us to further explore additional opportunities in the agricultural sector."

About Hydro Environmental Resources

Hydro Environmental Resources, Inc. holds the rights to the Electrical Chemical Hydrogen Fuel Reactor (ECHFR), which is one of the first hydrogen reactors that eliminates the need for an outside energy source to produce a pure commercial-grade of hydrogen at low pressure. This proprietary process delivers a highly mobile, more cost-effective and physically safe production of hydrogen than alternative methods, which require outside energy sources such as electricity, solar power and fossil fuels. The Company (HERI) was founded in 1998 with the primary goal of exploring avenues to improve the global environment through the development of safe and efficient methods of alternate energy production. The HERI team is focused on the production of alternate energy in the form of hydrogen gas, heat recovery, clean and potable water, through its breakthrough technologies. Today the ECHFR can provide environmentally safe and cost-effective hydrogen and heat energy to meet the needs of the enormous alternative energy industry.
