The Dow Chemical Company and Ballard Power Systems, Inc. are actively working together to manufacture and market Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell power plants for stationary power generation. This paper is an update of the PEM commercialization activities during the past year. The commercialization plan consists of three phases: Proof of concept; Market entry power plant prototype development; and 250 kW power plant field trials. 30 and 10 kW plants have been completed and construction of the 250 kW prototype power plant of Phase 2 is nearing completion.
