Summary

Development of systems with reduced emission of pollutants is one of the major

challenges of this century. Fuel cells promise to provide clean and renewable source

of energy, which can operate on many fuels. They are promising candidates for

transportation and portable power source applications. These applications include

battery replacement for potable telephones and computers, power sources in remote

areas, etc. Fuel cells can also work using other fuels such as hydrocarbons including

methanol either directly or indirectly. Since there is plenty of hydrocarbons resources

available in the Gulf region such as gasoline, naphtha, and methane/natural gas etc.,

they can be utilized in the fuel cell to produce clean power without combustion. There

has been tremendous research effort in other parts of the world, especially the

Western world for the development of fuel cells. Research at KFUPM is focused on

two different aspects, fuel for fuel cells (reformat feed) and PEM fuel cell system. Our

research group at KFUPM is actively involved in fuel cell research since 1980s.

Current focus is to develop PEM fuel cell system emphasizing three different aspects:

(A) developing novel low cost proton conducting membranes, (13) developing

multifunctional catalyst system and (C) development of hydrocarbon based fuel

processing systems. In this communication research activities and/ongoing projects

undertaken at KFUPM for fuel cell development will be presented.
