The Company has participated in the operational testing of fuel cell vehicles in February 2001. Also, it is preparing to commercialise stationary fuel cell products for business and residential use. In July 2001, the Company began pilot operations at one of its service stations of a compact stationary fuel cell system. This system is used together with a regular electric power source to supply electricity for fuel pumps and lighting in the case of power outages or emergencies. NOC will pursue additional fuel cell R&D programs, with a view to quickly enabling the practical use of fuel cells that use petroleum fuels.
