FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean electric power plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced the donation of emissions credits -- equivalent to preventing the discharge of 3,200 pounds of nitrogen oxide (NOx), 5,200 pounds of sulfur oxides (SOx) and other pollutants into the atmosphere -- to offset emissions generated by the federal government's Energy 2005 expo.

The company's donation, to Leonardo Academy Inc.'s Cleaner and Greener(SM) program, is the second consecutive year FuelCell Energy has offset the exposition's emissions, resulting in its certification as a "cleaner and greener" event. This year, more than 1,500 federal, state, local and private sector energy managers and other energy professionals attended its workshops and training sessions on new technologies, renewables, policy and planning in Long Beach, Calif.

FuelCell Energy's emissions credits stemmed from ultra-clean generation of 2,200 megawatt hours of electricity by several of its Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plants in California and Connecticut. Emissions credits -- derived from the use of fuel cells, cleaner fuels, improved energy efficiency or increased application of renewable energy sources -- offset pollution created by energy use elsewhere. Many experts believe emissions trading programs will help foster the development of cleaner power generation technologies such as fuel cells.

"Certifying the Energy 2005 Workshop and Exhibition as a 'green' event underscores that fuel cell power plants are an integral part of helping improve our environment," said Dan Brdar, Chief Operating Officer of FuelCell Energy. "Being able to do so for this year's event is especially gratifying for us given that it's located in southern California, an area with strict air emissions standards."

The US General Services Administration (GSA) recently recognized last year's Energy 2004 exposition as the federal government's first independently certified green meeting and trade show, and cited a number of organizations with its 9th Annual Achievement Award for Real Property Management Innovation.

"We are pleased to work with FuelCell Energy again this year to certify Energy 2005 as a Cleaner and Greener event," said Michael Arny, president of Leonardo Academy. "We applaud the environmental benefits of their fuel cell products and the role they can play in reducing emissions from electric power generation."

Leonardo Academy founded the Cleaner and Greener Certification Program to reduce pollution and promote sustainability, helping businesses, organizations, individuals and events take action to reduce pollution that contributes to climate change, smog and acid rain. The Program now addresses all aspects of sustainability. For more information about the Cleaner and Greener program, please visit http://www.cleanerandgreener.org.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
