Neah Power Secures Second Office of Naval Research Contract to Develop its Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Neah Power Systems announced today that it has completed its first Office of Naval Research contract and received a second contract worth US$1.2 million to aid in funding the development of its methanol-based fuel cell.
The first contract, originally awarded in 2007, granted Neah Power funding which would enable various advancements to the company’s direct-methanol fuel cell. During this funding period, Neah Power developed a higher power density system using larger electrodes and implemented various high-volume manufacturing process flows for the company’s proprietary porous silicon technology. These changes met contract objectives, and, according to the company, provided Neah Power with a competitive advantage.
The second contract, which began in September 2008, will aid Neah Power in providing a high-volume manufacturing, further improved power density product.
