PASADENA, Calif., Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC

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."
