Will Fuel Cells Power our Future?
William Grove
Interest has suddenly increased:
Heavy investment
Significant technical progress
The race has started Systems becoming available
Automotive Fuel Cell Drivers
Vehicle parc 1,600m by 2030
Increase in vehicle size and power
Increasing electricity requirements
Fuel cells are uniquely able to address environmental problems
Automotive Fuel Cell Drivers
Europe will reduce car CO2 emissions
Aggressive fuel/CO2 taxes
Kyoto agreement requires CO2 reduction

World Oil Production will decline in the next 10 - 20 years.At the same time, dependence on OPEC will significantly
increase.
Automotive Fuel Cell Drivers
Increasing human morbidity and mortality
European death toll - 80,000
Automotive Fuel Cell Drivers
California Zero Emission Vehicle by 2003
Major US cities will continue to experience poor air quality
Public policy will help build a market for FCVs
Unique Combination of Advantages:
Minimum or zero NOx, SOx, HC and particulates
Increased energy efficiency/reduced CO2 emissions
Reliable and durable
Converts fuel energy directly into electricity
H2 derived from variety of sources
