Presentation of Arno A. Evers
This presentation
provides an overview on the status of European/North
American fuel cell commercialisation, what types of
fuel cell applications are in use and identifies what
the current trends are.
It presents the California Fuel Cell Partnership as
one example of how joint efforts between companies and
political agencies are promoting the fuel cell technology.
It also illustrates how influences, such as the fluctuation
of the crude oil prices of the past, have impacted the
progress of developing renewable technologies. Furthermore,
it explains the reasons for a substantial new product
growth rate to reach 100 million US customers by 2007.
An outlook of the future will show what could be the
general conditions for the commercialisation of fuel
cells.
