Under the stipulation of this agreement DMFCC will design and certify electronic components and systems for Tyco Electronics.
CEO of Viaspace, Dr. Carl Kukkonen, stated “DMFCC is now broadening its market focus to work on special fuel cell applications in addition to producing methanol fuel cartridges that will provide the energy source for laptop computers, mobile phones, and other portable electronic devices to be powered by direct methanol fuel cells.
