Nike, U.S. State Department, NASA and USAID-Sponsored Competition Picks Valcent (OTCBB:VCTZF) as One of the Ten Best Companies in the World for a Sustainable Future
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - March 10, 2010 - Valcent Products Inc. (OTC.BB:VCTZF) - LAUNCH, a global initiative whose Founding Partners include NASA, USAID, the U.S. State Department and Nike, which identifies and supports innovative work poised to contribute to a sustainable future, has selected Valcent's VertiCrop™ vertical farming technology as one of ten global innovations from a field of 150 pioneering projects. As one of ten featured leaders in sustainability, Valcent will present their advances on large scale hydroponic agriculture at the premiere LAUNCH event at the Water at Kennedy Space Center on March 16th to 18th 2010.
Amidst the backdrop of shuttle launch mission STS-131, a distinguished group of leaders from government, business, science, engineering, communications and sustainability will convene to learn about Valcent's vertical farming innovations in a collaborative forum designed to help accelerate the company's progress. Along with the initiatives' Founding Partners and Resource Partners which include The Pacific Institute, Sandia National Labs and The Water Center of the Earth Institute, LAUNCH was formed as a collaborative forum and incubator to engage and champion innovative ideas, companies, programs and technologies focused on a series of sustainability challenges.
"Our world's balance between demand and supply of food is sensitive to climate change, fuel demands, access to water and our investments in research and infrastructure," said Stephen Kennedy Smith, President of Em-Link LLC, the Boston-based Master Distributor for Valcent in the United States. "We are honored to receive recognition from this esteemed panel of judges who recognize Valcent's VertiCrop™ technology as vital to accelerating innovation for a sustainable future. We look forward to the panelists' valuable input on our initiatives involving vertical agriculture using recycled resources and hydroponics, which is the practice of growing plants without soil and which allows for the production of fruit and vegetables in spaces outside of traditional farms."
"We are honored that our vertical farming technology is recognized as an important innovation by LAUNCH," says Chris Bradford, President, CEO, and Director of Valcent Products Inc. "We have entered a new era of urban agriculture where we can deliver locally grown crops that provide a nutritionally superior product that is healthier for the communities they serve."
Valcent's VertiCrop™ technology will be profiled on the LAUNCH web site and featured in a custom produced video profile in collaboration with Nike.

New NanoMarkets Report Sees Big Opportunities from Smart Grids for Sensors
New NanoMarkets Report Sees Big Opportunities from Smart Grids for Sensors
December 14, 2009Glenn Allen, Virginia: According to a new report from NanoMarkets, a Virginia-based industry analyst firm, the rollout of the Smart Grid will create significant new opportunities for sensor manufacturers.
The report, "Sensors for the Smart Grid: Market Opportunities 2010-2017," claims that building the new Smart Grid infrastructure will generate $11.4 billion revenue for sensors and related products. Additional details about the report can be found at www.nanomarkets.net. This new report is the next in a series from NanoMarkets that analyzes the opportunities that will emerge from the Smart Grids. Other reports from NanoMarkets address batteries and super capacitors, cables and insulators, customer premise equipment and regulatory policy analysis of Smart Grids. Key findings include:NanoMarkets forecasts that sensors for remote monitoring of transformers will generate $2.3 billion in revenues in 2017. Many transformers in the grid currently receive no attention until they fail; a cause of major blackouts.
The key measure of transformer health is dissolved gas and moisture analysis of the insulating oil. Thus equipping Smart Grid transformers with remote inspection dissolved gas monitors will provide the necessary "eyes and ears" to effectively monitor and protect transformer assets in real time. Remote inspection of transformers will be a key area for the implementation of sensors in the distribution network. One of the key goals of creating the Smart Grid is to enable more electricity to be carried on the transmission network and sensors can help achieve this goal in a variety of ways. One especially important example is dynamic line rating, a method to increase power flow over existing transmission lines, enabled by increased situational awareness of weather and line temperature conditions.
Real-time information about current weather conditions can then be used to calculate the true carrying capacity, increasing the allowable flow capacity by 10 percent-15 percent. By 2017, sensors for dynamic line rating devices in the Smart Grid are expected to account for more than $1.0 billion in revenue. According to NanoMarkets, by 2017, about $2.3 billion will also be spent on sensors for home-area networks (HAN). The biggest opportunity in this segment will be for appliances. Major companies including GE, LG, and Whirlpool have already committed to making a significant portion of their product line smart-enabled within the coming years.
Deploying sensors that link home appliances with smart meters will significantly increase overall energy efficiency and reduce peak demand generation requirements.
About the Report:NanoMarkets' new report provides an in-depth analysis of the emerging market for sensors in the Smart Grid. Areas covered include sensors for energy monitoring, load balancing sensors, security monitoring and equipment inspection. We examine the markets for such sensors in the transmission and distribution networks of the power companies and in the home.As with all NanoMarkets reports, this report contains a granular eight-year forecast in volume and value terms. And it also includes an assessment of the strategies of the leading players in this space as well the activities of the major standards organizations and their role in creating a smart sensor friendly grid ecosystem. The report also discusses the differences in the Smart Grid sensor market among the major industrialized countries of the world.
About NanoMarkets:NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in energy and electronics markets created by developments in advanced materials.
