More
than 3,000 organizations throughout the world are now actively involved in
fuel cell development, prompted by
fast-growing interest in the sector. Recent years have seen technology
developers and research institutes joined by mainstream equipment manufacturers,
energy companies and automotive giants, together with a host of specialist
suppliers. All are eager to be in at the start of one of the most exciting
of 21st century energy businesses. More than
$7bn
has now been spent; a further $2-3bn has been firmly
committed; and over $10bn conditionally assigned to the task of bringing
fuel cells to the marketplace.
Based
on ten man-years’ work, Fuel Cells: The Sourcebook aims to be the
leading reference source within this important sector. The
latest edition, updated within the past
few weeks,
provides valuable guidance for those wishing
to know more about fuel cell concepts, applications and markets, and
is a unique source of commercial and technical information on
organizations in the sector.
 The
report provides a fundamental grounding in the basic concepts behind fuel
cells; a description of the various fuel cell technologies, their major
applications and the balance-of-plant features required for working
systems; a regional analysis of activity; and reference sections concerned
with organizations in the sector, their activities and products.
The
main reference section lists more than 2,500 companies, research centers,
institutes, universities, government agencies and other organizations at
the forefront of the technology, with address, phone, fax and website
details as available. Additional space is allocated to more than 500
of these companies, for further information on contact points, a
descriptive profile, and summary charts in which
participants can detail their areas of interest: application sectors,
technologies, activities, year established, employees, turnover and parent
organization.
A
Product Section enhances the usefulness of the book for those wishing to
find details of the rapidly expanding range of materials, components,
sub-systems, test equipment, stack modules and complete fuel cell systems.
A supplementary table facilitates like-for-like comparisons of fuel cell
power sources

The
printed report contains over 300 A4 pages (and
costs about 25 cents per man-day committed to
the project!). The latest version was updated within the past month. If
you require further details, or if you would

An
enhanced version of the report is available in electronic format on
disc. This has 500
pages, together with additional information, including Excel files with
data on thousands of organizations involved
with fuel cells. Each CD-ROM is individually prepared to incorporate the
latest material. The files are fully
searchable to help users locate information on particular topics or organizations, with
thousands of active links
to participants’ websites and email addresses. The print
facility is enabled, and the conditions of sale authorize the purchaser to
print a single copy of the report for
internal use without infringing copyright restrictions.
