The need for higher levels of reliability and power quality, combined with the transition of the electric industry to a competitive market is spurring the development of various forms of distributed generation. While most of these technologies can provide high quality, reliable power to end users, not all are environmentally benign. With growing concern over pollution and climate change, a clean on-site power solution is needed. Stationary fuel cells can meet this need.

The Market for Stationary Fuel Cells provides electric industry participants with the knowledge they need to begin preparing for the commercialization of stationary fuel cell technology. Topics covered in the report include:

• Overview of what fuel cells are and how they operate
• Discussion of the history of fuel cell development
• Identification of the applications that stationary fuel cells can support
• Comparison of the different fuel cell technologies available for stationary applications
• Evaluation of the benefits which stationary fuel cells can provide
• Identification of the barriers to stationary fuel cell market penetration
• Overview of government initiatives to support the development of fuel cells
• Profiles of the key stationary fuel cell manufacturers

The Market for Stationary Fuel Cells comes in Adobe Acrobat PDF format and is available via electronic download, CD-ROM or Hardcopy for $299.
