The University of Birmingham is active in several fuel cell related areas. Its Department of Chemical Engineering is active in the development of tubular SOFC technology and has set up a fuel cell network which aims to link everybody who has an interest in fuel cells in the UK. In addition, it has set up a Low Carbon Energy Centre which combines its efforts on hydrogen storage, fuel cells, fuel processing, biomass, energy from waste, control systems, and emissions policy. Meanwhile, its Department of Metarials and Metallurgy is the lead contractor in an EU backed project to investigate novel hydrogen storage materials. The 2.19 million project is scheduled to be completed in January 2004. Other participants include the University of Reading.
