| Title | Fuel Cell Vehicles: Technology, Market, and Policy Issues |
| Author | John M. DeCicco |
| Biblio | 2001; 186 Pages; Soft Cover |
| Description | In recent years, the fuel cell has risen to prominence as a future option for many energy using systems. For motor vehicles, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells promise to address public concerns about air pollution, oil dependence, and global warming, while providing ample onboard electricity to efficiently meet growing customer needs. Research and development (R&D) progress has greatly cut fundamental fuel cell cost factors, particularly platinum catalyst requirements. A range of other technical and infrastructure barriers remains before fuel cell vehicles can come into common use. Nevertheless, prospective costs are now low enough that the technology is attracting interest as a long-term solution that merits the efforts needed to overcome these barriers. This book looks to address these and many other issues in the field of fuel cell vehicles. Contents include: * Overview of Fuel Cells * Status Assessment of Automotive Systems * Commercialization Outlook * Policy Implications. Also includes references, lists of acronyms, tables and figures. |
