Would the real Ballard please stand up ... "Tomorrow, the twin currencies of hydrogen and electricity will power all of our energy services. Because hydrogen and electricity can each be manufactured from sustainable sources, they will make our entire energy system sustainable. And because they can each be made from one another, these twin currencies will create an elegant symmetry within The Energy System - infusing it with enormous efficiencies that are unrealizable today. Since electricity and hydrogen can each be produced from fossil fuels, they create a natural bridge from today's hydrocarbon energy sources to tomorrow's sustainable energy system. Once hydrogen becomes the chemical fuel currency of choice, that bridge will be complete."

"Jim Perry: Probably the biggest potential application, other than automotive is in home co-generation, where you would actually have a fuel cell system that would provide heat and power for your house. The beauty of the solid oxide system is that running on natural gas is so simple. There is no way that PEMs are going to be as cheap in home applications as SOFCs. Reforming for a PEM is a two-step operation, you have got to break the bond and purify the gas stream. We don't have to purify the gas stream. Our reformer is a very cheap and simple device. This is not rocket science."
