VIASPACE subsidiary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFCC) and its partner GasHub Technology of Singapore attended the inauguration of the Clean Energy Testbedding Community (CETC) in Singapore.

CETC was established by a Memorandum of Understanding between the Singapore Business Federation and Temasek Polytechnic, and is supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board. CETC aims to foster business and technological cooperation to testbed and pilot fuel cell, solar and other clean energy technologies and applications.

GasHub CEO Avier Lim and DMFCC Vice President of Business Development Gary Miller attended the event in Singapore.

Mr. Miller stated, "GasHub and DMFCC have a partnership in developing portable fuel cell technology, and both companies look forward to supporting the new testbed. Singapore is very aggressive towards commercializing fuel cells and we are happy to be working with them."

DMFCC, a subsidiary of VIASPACE Inc., focuses on manufacturing and distribution of disposable methanol fuel cartridges which provide the energy source for notebook computers, mobile phones and other devices that are expected to be powered by direct methanol fuel cells. Major companies such as Toshiba and Samsung are pursuing fuel cell powered electronic devices. DMFCC is a cartridge partner with Samsung.
