More than 3,000 organizations throughout the world are now actively involved in fuel cell development, prompted by fast-growing interest in the sector. Recent years have seen technology developers and research organizations joined by mainstream equipment manufacturers, finance companies, energy suppliers and automotive giants, together with a host of component and material specialists. All intend to be in at the start of one of the most exciting of 21st century energy businesses. More than $8bn has now been spent; a further $2-3bn has been firmly committed; and over $10bn conditionally assigned to the task of bringing fuel cells to the marketplace.
Based on ten man-years’ work, “Fuel Cells: The Sourcebook” aims to be the leading reference source within this important sector.
