VIASPACE Signs New Deal to Distribute Fuel Cell Test Stations

VIASPACE Inc., 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 an agreement with WonATech of Korea for VIASPACE to sell and distribute WonATech’s fuel cell test stations outside Korea.

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. WonATech offers sophisticated single and multi-channel fuel cell test stations that represent high end products at attractive prices for fuel cell and automotive manufacturers in Japan, Europe and the United States. 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.

Since its establishment in 1991, WonATech has concentrated its efforts in the development of products related to electrochemical application. Steadily supplying products in experimental research fields and industrial sites, WonATech has played a leading role in this field of business. Their product line includes potentiostats, battery cyclers, fuel cell test stations, heating chambers, temperature monitors, voltage monitors and associated software.

VIASPACE CEO Carl Kukkonen stated, “We are very pleased with this new agreement, granting VIASPACE rights to distribute WonATech’s fuel cell test station product line. This line of fuel cell test stations will be attractive to many of the customers who have or will purchase the HS-1000 VIASENSOR, our real time laser based humidity sensor, such as Ballard or 3M Corporation, along with the major automobile manufacturers who are currently designing fuel cell powered vehicles.”

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.
