Altair Nanotechnologies to Address Clean Energy Topics at NanoBusiness 2007 Conference

RENO, NV | Posted on April 16th, 2007

Altairnano President and CEO Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D., will participate in a panel discussion today entitled "Automotive Technology: Driving Down Emissions." Altairnano Chief Technology Officer Bruce Sabacky, Ph.D., will speak tomorrow, April 17, and provide an update on Altairnano's considerable progress in the zero emissions vehicle sector, AHP pigment production, life sciences, and industrial applications.

Dr. Gotcher's panel discussion begins today at 3:30 p.m. and will examine demand drivers that will spur the adoption and commercialization of zero emission vehicle technologies. Among the key considerations: Do automakers have sufficient incentive to invest in driving down emissions? Will this technology ultimately be regulated? Is this technology more likely to emerge abroad before it does in the U.S.? What are the challenges to scaling this technology so it can be deployed on a wide scale?

Dr. Sabacky will present Altair Nanotechnologies technology and business strategy at the NanoBusiness Investing Forum section of the conference on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.

The NanoBusiness 2007 conference brings together business leaders, investors, venture capitalists, scientists, engineers, and government officials. For more information, see http://www.nanobusiness2007.com
