- VIASPACE Inc. (VSPC) engages in the renewable energy business focused on developing and commercializing Giant King Grass (GKG), a proprietary fast-growing perennial biomass and energy crop; GKG serves as a non-food feedstock for low-carbon liquid biofuels used in transportation, biochemicals, and bioplastics; energy pellets and bio-coal derived from GKG substitute for coal in power plants to reduce emissions; bio-methane production via anaerobic digestion for electricity generation; and animal feed applications. The company, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, with additional operations referenced in Walnut, California, operates in the United States and internationally within the utilities-renewable sector, targeting biomass power plants, biorefineries, and biofuel producers; it employs a small team of approximately two and trades on OTC Markets. VIASPACE leverages licensed technologies originally from NASA, Caltech, and the Department of Defense, adapted from space and defense applications into commercial renewable energy solutions; historical subsidiaries pursued methanol fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, and security sensors, though current emphasis remains on GKG cultivation and biomass products; no major acquisitions, funding rounds, partnerships, or strategic shifts reported in the last 1-2 years, with ongoing low revenue operations reflecting US$153,000 TTM as of recent filings under CEO Kevin Schewe.
