- Gemma Crawley, Fuel Cell Today
This is the second of a series of six articles designed to focus on each of the fuel cell technology types in turn. The reviews are intended to provide a brief overview of the technical aspects of each system, the developmental milestones achieved, an estimate of the number of units currently in operation and a review of the key companies involved in the development, manufacture and commercialisation of each fuel cell type. Looking forward, the reports will also aim to provide details of any goals set by fuel cell companies for each system.
The first of the articles focussed on proton exchange Membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology and this second instalment takes an in-depth look at alkaline fuel cell (AFC) systems. The remaining articles will eventually cover SOFC, DMFC, MCFC, and PAFC over the course of the next year.
