Dr. Carl Kukkonen, CEO of both VIASPACE and DMFCC, said, "We will be demonstrating one of our fuel cartridges working with a direct methanol fuel cell made by Parker Hannifin. Other cartridges and prototypes will be on display. We will also be demonstrating the VIASPACE laser-based humidity sensor for hydrogen fuel cells. The booth will be manned by DMFCC staff from the US, Japan and Korea as well as by representatives from our cartridge manufacturing partners in Japan, Korea and the US. We have also set up private meetings with potential customers and partners."

DMFCC focuses on producing and distributing methanol fuel cartridges designed to provide the energy source for laptop computers, cell phones and other portable electronic devices to be powered by direct methanol fuel cells.

Fuel cells are expected to gain a substantial market share because they offer longer operating time as compared to current lithium ion batteries and may be instantaneously recharged by simply replacing the disposable fuel cartridge. Leading OEMs have announced that they are developing direct methanol fuel cells for portable electronic applications.

About VIASPACE: Originally founded in 1998 with the objective of transforming proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions that solve today's complex problems, VIASPACE benefits from important patent and software licenses from Caltech, which manages NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
