The need for oil, natural gas, and other energy sources is growing drastically, with worldwide energy consumption projected to increase by more than 40 percent by 2035.
Coal is the largest single fuel source for world energy demands. This natural resource is virtually in unlimited supply. It is affordable and extremely reliable but it comes with severe negative environmental and health effects.
Fuel cells were invented over a century ago and are a proven technology; organizations such as NASA have been using the technology since the 1960’s. Unfortunately, due to their very high cost and poor field life performance existing SOFC technology has been unable to meet market acceptance. That is, until now.
