  CERTIFICATION

         I, Sandra Batt, Chief Financial Officer, certify that:

         1. I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report on Form 10-QSB of Hydrogen
         Engine Center, Inc.;

         2. Based on my  knowledge,  this  report  does not  contain  any untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which
         such  statements  were made, not misleading  with respect to the period
         covered by this report;

         3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information  included in this  report,  fairly  present in all material
         respects the financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows
         of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

         4. The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I have  disclosed,
         based on our most recent  evaluation of internal control over financial
         reporting,  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
         registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing the equivalent
         functions):

                  a. All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                  design  or  operation  of  internal   control  over  financial
                  reporting which are reasonably  likely to adversely affect the
                  registrant's ability to record, process,  summarize and report
                  financial information; and

                  b.  Any  fraud,   whether  or  not  material,   that  involves
                  management or other  employees who have a significant  role in
                  the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
