Fuel Cells. The American Hydrogen Association also see U.S. Dept of Energy (DOE) Energy Efficiency:Hydrogen, Fuel Cells The American Hydrogen Association is a national organization, dedicated to educating the public about the potential of hydrogen as a fuel. Hydrogen can be made from sustainable energy sources. AHA recognizes that rapid depletion of oil and other fossil fuels is a serious problem for our society. Research and development of sustainable energy systems is essential to our survival in the near term, because demand for fossil fuels is already outstripping supplies. America imports over half of the crude oil it wastefully consumes. The transition to sustainable energy sources is yet possible because of three factors: There is a great potential for conservation. In the longer term, only sustainable energy will be available to us. What the hell is a Fuel Cell? By Tom Dickerman I'm glad you asked. Simply put, a fuel cell is like a battery.

Fuel Cell Technologies Program: Market Transformation. Significant research and development progress has paved the way for fuel cells to enter today's commercial marketplace for a variety of applications, including specialty vehicles and stationary and portable power. The growing number of commercial products, in combination with the federal and state financial incentives available now, are instrumental in supporting the role that fuel cells play in our nation's energy portfolio.
Through its market transformation efforts, the Fuel Cell Technologies Office seeks to accelerate the commercialization and promote the early adoption of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. See the program's market transformation fact sheet Accelerating the use of fuel cell technologies in early market applications supports commercialization and helps build a domestic manufacturing and supplier base. It also expands the growth of the green job market, with new opportunities in manufacturing, fuel cell maintenance and support systems, and hydrogen production.
