DOE has outlined a Market Transformation [1] strategy for demonstrating the commercial viability of fuel cell [2] power in applications for which there is a business case, and communicating the potential environmental and economic benefits of the clean energy technologies. Current results of an ongoing multiyear study of fuel-cell powered vehicles [3], supported by the DOE EERE [abstract [4] and full text in OSTI’s Information Bridge] were published in February 2012. The report includes recommendations to the Energy Department about needs for investigation during the remaining 3-4 years of the study and about ways to commercialize the technology.
Read about the many technologies and products supported by DOE’s Fuel Cell Technologies Program [5] in Pathways to Commercial Success [6]. Read more about fuel cell research found in OSTI Collections [7].
