The development and deployment of advanced fuel cell power generation systems are driven by a number of factors including energy security and reliability, distributed power generation and grid independence, global environmental concerns and the increased need for portable power production. "Cross cutting" in nature, fuel cell technology is instrumental for the success of major national initiatives such as Future Gen and Freedom Car. It also bridges the gap between today's combustion-based power generation systems and tomorrow's "Hydrogen Economy." In addition, fuel cells offer high electrical conversion efficiency over a wide size range, negligible or no exhaust pollutants, multi-fuel capability and ease of siting.
The successful development and deployment of cost-effective commercial products for stationary, mobile and military applications will require:
In-depth understanding of electrochemical processes
A system-level understanding of materials requirements
Cost-effective and large-scale manufacturing capabilities
This ASM symposium will address recent developments in materials, processing and cost-effective manufacturing, in addition to field demonstrations and commercialization of fuel cell systems such as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), direct methanol (DMFC), molten carbonate (MCFC) and solid oxide (SOFC).
