VIASPACE CEO Invited to Speak at Batteries 2008
PASADENA, Calif., /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC), announced that CEO Dr. Carl Kukkonen has been invited to make a presentation at the Batteries 2008 Congress in France, October 8-10. Batteries 2008, celebrating its 10th anniversary, is the leading European battery meeting, and this year focuses on the "Future of the Battery World". Dr. Kukkonen will represent VIASPACE subsidiary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation (DMFCC). His presentation is entitled "Update on Small and Micro Fuel Cells" which surveys industry progress and
projections over the last year. Dr. Kukkonen will also present information on the VIASPACE BA-1000 battery tester, and on its lithium batteries for light electric vehicles and electronics. Dr. Kukkonen is also chairing the session on Micro Fuel Cells.
Fuel cells have the potential to replace rechargeable batteries in many products in the $54 Billion Clean Energy market sector, and they will likely be teamed with batteries in other hybrid applications including hybrid vehicles. In portable electronics, disposable fuel cartridges mandated by international regulatory authorities provide the energy source for fuel cell powered notebook computers and mobile phones. DMFCC specializes in these fuel cartridges which represent a potential $3 Billion recurring revenue stream like razor blades or disposable AA batteries.
DMFCC is currently supplying cartridges to Samsung, Polyfuel and other
companies for their product development programs. The advantages of fuel
cells are longer operating time compared to batteries, and instantaneous
refueling by replacing the fuel cartridge. There is no need to find an
electrical outlet and wait several hours for the battery to recharge.
Several major electronics OEMs have publicly stated that their fuel cell
programs will reach the market next year.
Conference sessions are on: batteries for portable electronics -- the future of the consumer market; industrial and transportation battery markets; and a special session on lithium batteries for hybrid electric vehicles. Congress speakers are from Sony, Samsung, Intel, Motorola, Energizer, Texas Instruments, Volvo, and other companies, research organizations and universities.
