Fuel Cell Technology's Coming Of Age

Fuel Cell Technology's Coming Of Age

Until very recently, fuel cells were considered largely a non-grid technology. But, technological improvements in the areas of reliability, efficiency, and the ability to use multiple fuel sources have started to change that perception. Danbury, Connecticut-based FuelCell Energy‘s (FCE) role in the fuel cell industry dates back to the 1970s, when the company began performing extensive research and development into fuel cell technology for military applications. Since then, FCE has commercialized its patented Direct Fuel Cell (DFC) technology, and generated over 900 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity at over 50 installations worldwide.
