Abstract

Increasing environmental problems, limited fossil resources and the geopolitical dependence on crude oil are enormous challenges for our societies. According to energy experts from all over the world, fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies will play an important role in the portfolio for a future energy economy. This is particularly true for the transport sector which is marked today by an extreme dependency on oil. Hydrogen needs to be produced cost-effectively and with zero or near-zero CO2 emissions. Fuel cells, with their high electrical efficiencies and clean exhaust energy conversion, have the potential to produce excellent solutions to the ecological and economic problems provided that their development is pursued in a determined way and that their market launch is prepared.
