Formira® hydrogen-on-demand technology expected to increase mission endurance and enable heavier payload

electrochemistry to convert carbon dioxide to usable products such as formic acid.

The connection of being able to supply vaste amounts of fuel for the fuel cell is just one connection.. Mantra has it own fuel cell tech seems connnected to me....

Mantra's Promise of Innovation

by Debra Fiakas CFA

How often do we see the crowd rooting for the underdog? You could hear the cheers for Mantra Energy (MVTG: OTC) last week at the Marcum Microcap Conference in New York City. Mantra is a developmental stage company pursuing technologies to harness carbon dioxide for energy. Of course, the company has no revenue and therefore no earnings. Indeed, its technologies are so unique and as yet at such an early stage some might find them almost fanciful. Yet for some investors, a fanciful underdog is even better than another.

Mantra sees itself as a technology incubator, building on intellectual properties the company bought from the University of British Columbia. The company is perfecting what they call the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide. The idea is to use electrochemistry to convert carbon dioxide to usable products such as formic acid.

A variety of fuels can be used, including the formic acid that Mantra hopes to produce from its carbon capture and recycling technology. Manta does not expect its fuel cell to have as much efficiency a conventional fuel cells, but the MRFCs are expected to have higher volumetric power densities.

Neil Huff has over 30 years experience in operational and senior management positions with companies ranging from seed stage start-ups to multi-nationals such as GE and Rockwell International. He spent 5 years as CEO of Ballard Powers lithium battery division and was instrumental in spinning that division out of Ballard which was subsequently purchased by Eagle Picher Energy Products. He was most recently co-founder, President and CEO of Tekion Inc. which was founded 10 years ago and is focused on the commercialization of low cost micro fuel cell systems using formic acid as a fuel. Mr. Huff has a Chemical Engineering degree from Queens University and an MBA from the University of Toronto.

Neil used to work at Mantra, owned Tekion, maybe even sold some assets to Neah

In November 2013 we acquired certain fuel cell
assets from Clean Tech Investors, LLC along with a direct investment into the Company. These assets open up other large markets that Neah intends to serve going forward.

The had the same market if you check out the his prior company...and Neah has mentioned trips to BC to an offsite location...

Just some thoughts in reading some of the bios...

When you track down the formira website that was Neil's company....

Formira Micro Fuel Cell has 3x More Power for Cell Phones

Harnessing the power of ant bites and bee stings, a B.C. company has developed a micro fuel cell that will come on the market next year to recharge cellphones, digital cameras, iPods or any other electronic device anywhere, anytime and could eliminate the need for recharging all electronic devices forever.

"It's like carrying your wall plug around with you," said Neil Huff, chief executive officer of Burnaby-based Tekion. "It'll charge your cellphone at the same rate the wall plug does."

Tekion's recharger, which contains a miniature fuel cell that runs on formic acid - the same chemical emitted as venom by biting ants and bees.

In fuel cells, formic acid gives more concentrated power than other fuels, allowing it to be integrated into small electronic devices such as the cellphone, which Huff described as the "Holy Grail" of devices to master. As cellphones add more and more functions such as cameras, video and MP3s, they require so much power that batteries are reaching their limits.

The revolutionary new fuel cell can be used in place of batteries providing two to three times the energy of lithium batteries and could be made for all portable electronic devices giving cell phones almost a week of talk time. Simply change the recyclable cartridge and the device will have the advantage of instantaneous recharging, all without the hassle of ever having to plug-in.

Tekion has developed a proprietary formula of formic acid that it calls Formira, based on the scientific name for red ant - Formica rufa. Formic acid is non-flammable and biodegradable and is also used in leather tanning, to de-ice airport runways, and as a preservative in animal feed.

"It's a very friendly fuel," Huff said.
