PASADENA, Calif.-- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC - News), a company that transforms proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions, announced today that its Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation subsidiary was featured in an article on Business, Strategy & Markets in the October issue of Modern Plastics Worldwide magazine. Modern Plastics covers the global plastics industry and has been published continuously since 1925. Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation produces disposable plastic methanol fuel cartridges for electronic devices such as notebook computers and mobile phones that are expected to be powered by fuel cells in the near future. The article discusses the fuel cell and fuel cartridge business and refers to DMFCC's manufacturing partners; SEED Corp. in Japan, and Elentec and SMC in Korea. Since the article was written, DMFCC has also entered into a cartridge development and manufacturing agreement with Hyun Won in Korea.

Dr. Carl Kukkonen, CEO of both VIASPACE and Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation, reports, "If the fuel cell market for portable electronics takes off as expected, billions of disposable plastic fuel cartridges will be sold every year. This represents a significant new opportunity for the plastics industry in general, and for our cartridge manufacturing partners in particular."
