PASADENA, Calif., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — VIASPACE Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: VSPC) exhibited its products and met with current and
potential customers and business partners at the Fuel Cell Seminar held in
Phoenix, AZ October 28-30, 2008. With 1700 attendees, the Fuel Cell Seminar
is the largest fuel cell technical meeting and exhibition in the United
States.

VIASPACE and its subsidiary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation
(DMFCC) had a prominent booth near the exhibit entrance. The VIASPACE
display featured disposable fuel cartridges for portable electronics, the
HS-1000 fuel cell humidity sensor, a fuel cell test station by Taiwanese
partner Hephas Energy, and molded carbon fuel cell components and a fuel
cell backup power system by partner GasHub of Singapore. In many
applications, fuel cells will be hybridized with batteries, and VIASPACE
showed its lines of lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries, as well as
its BA-1000 Battery Electrode Health Analyzer product.

A hit with attendees was a folding electric commuter bicycle produced
by 3rd Millennium Energy, and powered by VIASPACE lithium polymer battery.
The bike has a range of forty miles and can be easily folded so it can be
carried onto a bus or commuter train, or stored in the trunk of a car.
Since the bike is already electric, it is straightforward to adapt it to a
fuel cell.

VAISPACE and DMFCC CEO, Dr. Carl Kukkonen stated, “The Fuel Cell
Seminar is a great opportunity to meet both new and established customers.
Our partners from Tokai Bussan in Japan, Hephas in Taiwan and GasHub in
Singapore helped staff the booth, so we could communicate with customers in
their native languages. I was also able to meet with our cartridge
customers including Samsung, and Japanese cartridge partner Sato Group.”
