The Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) conducts research in essentially all energy forms and in a wide range of fossil- and nonfossil-fueled systems. This work encompasses all activities from concept development through support activities in prototype development and includes theoretical analyses, laboratory studies, pilot plant operations, systems analyses, and economic evaluations. Fuel cell and other electrochemical R and D are among the principal investigative areas at IGT. Fuel cell R and D has been pursued continually at IGT for two decades. Other current major activities in this technical area include work on electrolyzers, batteries, and industrial electrolytic processes, photoelectrical processes, and techno-economic studies of electrochemical systems. Current research in these areas is briefly reviewed and chronologies of IGT fuel cell and electrochemical research programs are tabulated. (WHK)
