(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 08, 2008 )
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 it has entered into a distribution agreement for Fuel Cell Test Stations and carbon based Bi-Polar plates manufactured by GasHub of Singapore.
GasHub is a major manufacturer of high technology products including fuel cell test stations to companies and universities in Singapore. It has also developed promising new carbon-based bi-polar plates. The current standard for bi-polar plates, used to manufacture most fuel cells, is a machined graphite based product. GasHub's new carbon based Bi-polar plates have produced promising results with a much lower cost of manufacture.
Fuel Cell test stations that can test hydrogen, liquid and solid based fuel cells are an expanding portion of the $54 Billion clean energy market. GasHub's tests stations are lower cost options for many countries, such as China, which have large, emerging needs for alternate energy. Hundreds of universities throughout the world are also engaged in fuel cell research, but must deal with the reality of limited budgets when it comes to equipment purchases.
The performance of hydrogen fuel cells using a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) depends on the moisture level of the membrane. The membrane only conducts protons when it is hydrated or moist. The moisture is provided by water vapor in the incoming air or hydrogen stream. VIASPACE already produces the VIASPACE HS-1000 VIASENSOR which provides real-time measurements of the amount of water vapor in these gas streams and can be utilized within a fuel cell test station for that purpose.
VIASPACE CEO Carl Kukkonen stated, "We are very pleased with this new agreement, granting VIASPACE exclusive rights to distribute these products in the U.S. and Asia. The efforts we have put into establishment of a global distribution network now will give us the opportunity to make major expansions to our fuel cell instrument product line without further investment in research and development. They also provide an opportunity to sell a VIASENSOR to every customer we call on to discuss fuel cell test stations as well."
Kukkonen continued, "We are also very excited concerning the carbon based bi-polar plates developed by GasHub. This new technology shows great promise to date and offers a lower cost alternative for this mass produced product used in most fuel cells."
