SymPowerco Corporation (PINKSHEETS: SYMW) CEO John Davenport today announced the primary objectives of the recently announced fuel cell prototype project that is intended to address several aspects of performance, durability, scalability, manufacturing methods and economics of the company's unique Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell ("FEDMFC").

The primary objective of the program will be to dramatically improve reaction kinetics at the FEDMFC's anode. The methanol reaction mechanisms in all Direct Methanol Fuel Cells are more complex than those of hydrogen resulting in excessive voltage drops (activation polarization) that occur during the activation phase of the reaction. SymPowerco expects to advance its bipolar plate designs and operating parameters with a view to increasing both the rate and quality of methanol reactions without an increase in catalyst quantities. Particular attention will be given to improving reaction gas removal from the reaction zone in order to optimize both fuel flow and catalyst availability.

Reducing Activation Polarization will require the development of an advanced "Balance of Plant" ("BoP"). As a result, various FEDMFC support equipment configurations and operating parameters will be tested. The objectives relative to the BoP design and testing will be two-fold. The first objective is the improvement of reaction kinetics, as stated. The second objective of this aspect of the project will be to test the scalability of single stack and multiple stack configurations operating with a single BoP design. The company is of the opinion that increasing fuel cell output with multiple stack configurations need not cause a proportionate increase in BoP power demands, thus indicating increased energy efficiencies in multi-stack configurations.

SymPowerco Corporation develops advanced fuel cell and power delivery systems for the rapidly growing personal transportation and portable power system markets that are being created by today's energy and environmental challenges.
