Preliminary Program subject to change
20022 Fuel Cell Technology and Systems
OverviewNo other energy generation technology offers the combination of benefits that fuel cells do. In addition to low or zero emissions, benefits include high efficiency and multi-fuel capability. In this session, we invite submission of papers describing development of novel catalysts and catalytic systems that lead to improving performance and durability of fuel cell technology.
