The Plumber & Steamfitters Local 442 Union Supports Jericho Energy Ventures cleanH2steam DCC™ Boiler TSX Venture Exchange:JEV

• Local California Union supports zero-emission hydrogen boilers
• The president sees hundreds and thousands of clean energy jobs for his membership

TULSA, okla. And VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Jericho Energy Ventures (TSXV: JEV; Frankfurt: JLM0; OTC: JROOF) (“Jericho” or “JEV” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 442, based in Modesto, California, is pleased to enter the next phase of commercialization with JEV’s wholly owned subsidiary, Hydrogen Technologies Inc (HTI).

Local 442 is located in the San Joaquin Valley Clean Air Area (“APCD”), one of the most advanced and strictest APCDs in California that provides a national framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Local 442 understood their APCD’s stringent environmental controls and assisted HTI founder Ed Stockton in first building and testing the cleanH2steam DCCTM commercial demonstration boiler at Local 442 in Modesto, California.

The demonstration unit was supported by various groups and unions who provided both material and labor support, including the International Brotherhood of Electricians (“IBEW”). In conjunction with HTI, the demonstration unit was a successful first commercial move and continues to serve as a fundamental collaboration between clean energy providers such as HTI and the unions who install most of the units in the United States.

Bill Taylor, President of Local 442 stated, “It was a real pleasure to work with Ed Stockton and the HTI team while testing and developing the clean H2steam DCCTM boiler. To us, this seemed like the door into the future to produce clean steam and clean energy when we needed to move away from and be a part of fossil fuel emissions. When Ed approached me, it was clear that we would take his patented technology for granted and create hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs for our highly skilled and trained workforce. We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship as we move into this next phase where we will play an active role in building and installing new cleanH2steam DCCTM boiler systems. ”

National level support for clean hydrogen

On March 22, 2021, the Clean Hydrogen Future Coalition announced that it will bring its diverse group of stakeholders together under a common vision to support federal clean hydrogen policy that promotes clean hydrogen as a key path to achieving decarbonization goals while promoting clean hydrogen US competitiveness increased.

The coalition stated, “Clean hydrogen has the ability to accelerate decarbonization in all sectors of our economy, as well as convert existing and newly qualified high-wage jobs to support the clean energy transition. In addition to the wide range of market applications and the potential for significant future demand, clean hydrogen can be produced from a variety of energy sources used as substitute fuel or raw material in various industries, storing energy for long periods of time, and moving and delivering energy to wherever it is needed and make it an extremely versatile and clean source of energy. “

The coalition’s latest letter, backed by over 20 leading energy companies, trade unions, utilities, NGOs, equipment suppliers and project developers, to President Biden urged his government to catalyze the clean hydrogen industry in its “Build Back Better” plan.
