Fuel cells develop character
Article Abstract:
The Department of Energy estimates that by 2010, 15 to 20% of new capacity inclusions in fuel cells will be in the appearance of distributed generation. Considering existing technologies, that projection translates to sale of numerous microturbines and/or fuel cells over the next 10 to 12 years. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) believes that economy of mass for fuel cells needs a market of 10,000 to 15,000 installations before fuel cells can compete in most commercial markets. Among the fuel cells in development are phosphoric acid fuel cells from ONSI Division of International Fuel Cells and molten carbonate fuel cells from Energy Research Corp. and M-C Power.

Fuel cells nearing commercialization
Article Abstract:
A new study released by Business Communications Company Inc. of Norwalk, CT, has projected the total market for fuel cells will grow an average of 29.5% annually to $1.3 billion by 2003 from approximately $355 million in 1998. The study, entitled "Fuel Cells: On the Verge," ranks phosphoric acid and solid polymer as the two kinds of fuel cells that will post the strongest growth in the next five years, climbing at annual rate of 43% and 41%, respectively. Alkaline and molten carbonate types comes next, posting annual growth of 28% each, then solid oxide fuel cells.
