Re:  Application for Withdrawal of Hydrogen Burner Technology, Inc. Registration
     Statement File No. 333-45450 (the "Registration Statement")

Dear Mr. Cohan:

     In accordance with Rule 155 and Rule 477, as amended, promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Hydrogen Burner Technology, Inc. (the
"Company"), hereby applies to withdraw the registration of shares of its common
stock pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Company is requesting to
withdraw the Registration Statement, because the Company believes it may be
unable to complete the public offering successfully due to the current adverse
market conditions. No securities were sold in the registered offering.

     If you have any questions or require further information with regard
hereto, please contact John Sarafopoulos of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips at
(310) 312-4173.


                                Very truly yours,

                                HYDROGEN BURNER TECHNOLOGY, INC.

                                BY: /S/ DAVID M. MOARD
