Startech Environmental Interviews With CEOcast

CONNECTICUT, WILTON, Jun. 29 -/E-Wire/-- Startech Environmental Corp. (Nasdaq: STHK), the world leader in plasma waste remediation and recycling technology, announced today that its President and Chief Executive Officer, Joseph F. Longo, and its Chief Financial Officer, Robert L. DeRochie conducted an audio interview with CEOcast on June 29, 2001. The interview focused on the Company's main product, the Plasma Converter(TM), which can destroy toxic and hazardous waste irreversibly and safely in a cost effective manner, and also the growing importance of StarCell(TM), a patented hydrogen separation membrane for fuel cells and hydrogen engines. The interview can be heard in its entirety by logging onto the CEOcast website at http://www.ceocast.com. CEOcast will have this interview available on their website for viewing for five (5) business days.

About Startech Environmental Corp: Startech is an environmental and energy technology company whose Plasma Converter, essentially an electrochemical system that safely destroys all wastes, even hazardous wastes, and converts them into useful and valuable commodity products. One of the principal products produced from processing wastes is a rich synthesis fuel-gas called Plasma Converted Gas(PCG(TM)). It does this economically, efficiently, with relatively few moving parts, and without combustion. The prime mover in the Plasma Converter process is the plasma lightning like arc in the vessel that causes chemical dissociation (decomposition) of the feed materials, after which their elemental components (atoms) are reformed into useful commodities. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has designated materials, even if they may have once been regarded as wastes, or hazardous wastes, undergoing such a recycling process, no longer as wastes, but as "feedstocks." StarCell(TM) is the Company's new, patented hydrogen selective membrane system that separates hydrogen from the PCG produced from wastes. PCG is a clean synthesis fuel-gas mixture with many commercial uses. StarCell is not a fuel cell; it is a ceramic membrane filtration system that extracts hydrogen from PCG. PCG contains a large quantity of hydrogen. Pound-for-pound, hydrogen contains more energy punch than all the other fuels, and when used in hydrogen engines and fuel cells, produces only clean water vapor with no "green house gases." Once the hydrogen is separated, the remaining carbon-based syngas can still be used as a valuable fuel or even as a chemical feedstock. Startech's PCG can also easily be used to produce methanol, another valuable alternative fuel.
