Fuel Cells have captured the imagination of people around the world. The idea of someday pulling hydrogen out of water (hydrolysis) and using it to fuel a pollutionless fuel cell powered car is a charished dream of those who envision a future with sustainability as a cornerstone. Global Thermoelectric's fuel cell will use hydrogen from fossil fuels such as natural gas, propane or gasoline, but it will still offer dramatic improvements in fuel efficiency and a radical reduction in pollution. Perhaps one day in the not too distant future you will have a fuel cell power plant, about the size of a dishwasher, in your basement providing the power you require and enough heat to keep hot water flowing wherever you need it. In your driveway you may have a car either partially or completely powered by a fuel cell. In past episodes of EcoFile we spoke to Tom Koppel, author of the book Powering the Future, (Download the mp3 for EcoFile show 174 (file is 9 megs. in size)) the story of how Geoffrey Ballard created the fuel cell. Geoffrey Ballard told EcoFile he wasn't totally happy with his portrayal in the book, but it does trace the incredible journey Ballard took in doing what some people would have considered impossible. And recently we spoke with Geoffrey Ballard himself in San Francisco when he was named a Time Magazine Hero for the Planet.

A small group of scientists and technologists huddled around the end of a 60 foot-long machine as the first slurry dropped onto Mylar film to begin testing a new fuel cell manufacturing plant in Calgary, Alberta. Fuel Cells could revolutionize energy and power systems around the world. Just a few years ago the idea was but a gleam in Geoffrey Ballard's eyes. He was the Canadian who caught the attention of the world when he created a fuel cell that works. Global Thermoelectric, a Calgary-based manufacturer of heaters and generators is getting set to begin production of this radical new technology. Today on EcoFile we'll head off to Calgary to find out what fuel cells are and how they will be used.
