VIASPACE Signs Second Deal for Fuel Cell Test Stations

PASADENA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2008 -- VIASPACE Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VSPC) , 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 with SciTech, a manufacturer of fuel cell test equipment for major manufacturers and universities located in Seoul, 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. SciTech offers mid-range single and multi-channel fuel cell test stations that represent lower cost options 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.

VIASPACE CEO Carl Kukkonen stated, "We are very pleased with this new agreement, granting VIASPACE exclusive rights to distribute these products outside of Korea. 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. This is also another opportunity to sell a VIASENSOR to every customer we call on to discuss fuel cell test stations."
