Abstract
Fuel Cell technology has advanced from a
space-age curiosity to near commercial
status within the last few years. Both the
electric and the gas utilities in the United
States have conducted ambitious programs to
demonstrate the practicality of fuel cell
power plants in a number of applications.
The Japanese have been equally active in
promoting a fuel cell market and a fuel cell
manufacturing industry in their country.
American industry is one major market for
this technology which has not shown any
strong interest in fuel cells. This paper
discusses the probable market for industrial
applications of fuel cells, and one of the
ways that interest might be stimulated
within industry to gain experience with this
new technology.
