BREAKTHROUGH IN SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCED Excerpted from What's New @ IEEE in Power VOLUME 3 NUMBER 9 SEPTEMBER 2002
3. BREAKTHROUGH IN SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCED Global Thermoelectric Inc. recently announced significant breakthroughs in the service life and manufacturing costs of fuel cell stacks made using Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology. The company achieved a test duration exceeding that recorded in the earlier version of the prototype. Global reports that SOFC technology has potential in stationary power applications. It intends to take the results of its work to market in 2005. For more information, visit: eyeforfuelcells.com
