8 February 2007 -- NuVant Systems Inc. announced that the company has been awarded an extension on a government research contract aimed at developing ways to extend the lifetime of portable-power fuel cells.

The Indiana-based technology company, which develops and licenses advanced fuel-cell components and component evaluation instrumentation, instituted its Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Lifetime Improvement Program in October of 2006 as part of a $1.74 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense.

The agency's amendment to the contract to $2.61 million will fund NuVant Systems' continuing research and development of direct methanol fuel cells, which the company believes is one of the leading candidates for portable-power fuel cells.

"For portable fuel cells, one of the advantages of liquid methanol fuel over compressed hydrogen fuel is that liquid methanol has a much higher energy density and is easier to handle," said Eugene Smotkin, founder of NuVant Systems.
