Fuel cell systems program plan, fiscal year 1991

Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:5338077

The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Fossil Energy, is sponsoring the development of phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC), molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), and advanced concepts including solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technologies for application in the utility, commercial and industrial sectors. In addition, the DOE Office of Conservation and Renewable Energy is evaluating the use of fuel cells in transportation propulsion systems. Their focus is primarily on the development of polymer electrolyte or proton exchange membrane fuel cells, although they also have a congressionally mandated demonstration program for phosphoric acid fuel cells buses. These research and development (R D) efforts are also supported by private sector funding. This Plan describes the fuel cell activities of the Office of Fossil Energy. 6 figs.
