Astris Energi Inc. (Mississauga, ON) announced that it is in negotiation with two potential joint venture partners, which are pursuing two separate applications of the company's fully developed and field-tested alkaline fuel cell systems.
Jiri Nor, president of Astris, reported that one is a US concern planning to use Astris energy systems to power golf cars, neighborhood electric vehicles, and other material and people movers. The other joint venture candidate is a British company developing fuel-cell-based power sources for various applications. Astris has 1kW, 2kW and 4kW systems, with the capability to increase to larger energy sources.
