| Fuel Cell Benefits Drive Repeat Customers | Elizabeth Delmont | Fuel Cells 2000 | Feb 2012 |
Companies might be trying fuel cells to portray a green image, or to stay on the cutting edge of technology. They become repeat customers because the technology works and saves money over incumbent systems. As our reports show, there is a business case for fuel cells. With corporate, government, and international interest, fuel cell deployments are sure to grow even more over the next few years. |
| Case Study: Peak Demand Management with Fuel Cells | Contributed by | Ballard Power Systems | Aug 2011 |
The CLEARgen™ unit is comprised of nine – 150 kilowatt PEM modules including the air delivery, cooling, fuel delivery and power electronics systems resulting in a one megawatt fuel cell power system. |
| States Drive Impressive Fuel Cell Growth | Evelynn Escobar-Thomas | Fuel Cells 2000 | Jun 2011 |
The fuel cell industry is still finding its foothold in the energy technology portfolio, but supportive state policies that help foster fuel cell installations, company relocations and growth will help keep the U.S. at the forefront of fuel cell commercialization for a wide variety of applications and power needs. |
| FuelCell Energy Fuel Cell Systems in California | Contributed by | Fuel Cells 2000 | Feb 2011 |
These installations help propel not only FuelCell Energy’s image and financial stability, but also California’s standing as a fuel cell leader in not only the United States, but the world. |
| Fuel Cells Out of Orbit | Sanderson Hull | US Fuel Cell Council | Aug 2010 |
Fuel cells are ideal for space missions for many reasons. Fuel cells can run for long durations without interruption as long as fuel is supplied. They produce electricity very efficiently and reliably. In addition, the light weight of fuel cells reduces total launch pad weight. |
| Fuel Cells Enlist in Armed Forces | Elizabeth Delmont | Fuel Cells 2000 | Oct 2009 |
Fuel cells have the potential to dramatically change how the military carries out its missions, and how soldiers operate in the field. With the largest, most technologically advanced military in the world, the U.S. armed services use an immense amount of fuel and electricity, and any use of alternative energy would have positive effects on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, fuel cells are of particular interest to the military not for their environmental savings, but because of unique technical features that can aid soldiers in the field. |
| Fuel Cells Give New Meaning to "Green Grocer" | Elizabeth Delmont | Fuel Cells 2000 | Aug 2009 |
Some major chains have turned to fuel cell technology to help reduce their carbon footprint and their dependence on the electrical grid. Fuel cells provide clean, quiet, and reliable power to an industry that cannot afford to experience electricity outages. Stores are using fuel cells to generate heat, hot water, electricity, and even to power vehicles. |

| Fuel Cells Drive Other Applications Besides Cars | Jennifer Gangi | Fuel Cells 2000 | Jun 2006 |
Imagine your cell phone lasting for 30 days without recharging, or your laptop running continuously for nine hours or more. Wouldn't it be great if it only took seconds to recharge your PDA? |
| Hydrogen Powered Micro Trigeneration Technology | AGNI Inc | Dec 2005 |
The use of trigeneration systems reduces the consumption of fossil fuels, per unit of energy required for a typical building, by about 40% compared to that used by conventional air-conditioning systems. | |
| Alkaline Fuel Cell for Backup Power | Peter K. Nor | Astris Energi Inc. | Dec 2005 |
Fuel cells are only starting to enter the marketplace and due to the many operational and cost benefits they offer they should start to be accepted on an accelerated basis. |
| Integrated Fuel Cell Engine | AGNI Inc. | Oct 2005 |
According to a WADE (World Alliance For Decentralized Energy) analysis of data from the International Energy Agency, unutilised energy from the worldwide electricity system is around 67%! | |
| Fuel Cell Combined Heat And Power (CHP) | London Hydrogen Partnership and Fuel Cell Markets Ltd | London Hydrogen Partnership and Fuel Cell Markets Ltd | Jun 2005 |
Within the next few years, fuel cell CHP systems are expected to be able to compete with conventional systems on price, with competitive life cycle/fuel use costs. |
