The latest additions expand Fuel Cells 2000's Worldwide Fuel Cell Installation chart to 65 pages including a significant number of new European and Asian listings. The chart includes data on fuel cell manufacturer, location, fuel cell size, fuel type, operating information and pictures, where available.
Installed at such varied locations as a police station, hospitals, breweries, landfills, military bases, universities, farms and hotels, fuel cells for power generation are quietly proving to be a success. "Fuel cell power generation systems tend to be overlooked in favor of automobiles, but they have been in the field for years, proving over and over to be a viable technology for stationary and backup applications," says Jennifer Gangi, program director, Fuel Cells 2000. "We hope that our examination of fuel cells in the real world will help policy makers and the public - and potential customers - gain a better appreciation for the versatility and advantages of fuel cells."
Other charts from Fuel Cells 2000 comprehensively track worldwide demonstrations of fuel cell automobiles, specialty vehicles, hydrogen fueling stations, and fuel cells for electronic equipment. Yet another chart lists available fuel cell products. All are updated regularly. All are free.
Also on the site is an interactive map of U.S. installations and companies involved in this emerging technology.
The charts are works in progress. Fuel Cells 2000 welcomes any additions or corrections, including technical data and photographs. Please email information to jennifer@fuelcells.org.
