TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 2, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Antig Technology
(www.antig.com), a leading fuel cell stack and solutions company based out of
Taipei, Taiwan, today announced that it has received Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. (UL) approval for its H2PowerChip(tm) Stack "AX012-0602" -- UL number
IRGU2.MH45916. Antig's innovative H2PowerChip(tm) Stack is the first of its kind
to receive UL certification covering the use of methanol based micro fuel cells
for use in portable electronic equipment (ITE).

"This completion of UL certification on Antig's H2PowerChip(tm) Stack is a
significant achievement for Antig," said Brent McKendry, CEO of Antig
Technology. Mr. McKendry went on to say that "Antig has been an early pioneer of
fuel cell technologies and has invented a unique and proprietary method for the
design and manufacture of micro fuel cell systems. These systems are built on
the core Antig H2PowerChip technology, with stack that leverages industry
standard PCB-like lamination technologies," added McKendry. "This approach
results in smaller, lighter and more cost effective fuel cell systems, something
we believe is critical in order to jump start broader market acceptance of fuel
cell technology for portable devices and applications.

Antig is currently working with a number of partners who expect to release
product in late 2008. Antig will unveil its complete 2008 fuel cell product
lineup for powering portable and small stationary applications at the upcoming
Hannover Messe 2008 in Germany (April 21-25, Hall 13, Stand F54/3).
