Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson today announced that International Fuel Cells (IFC), in partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE), has developed for the first time a gasoline powered fuel cell system powerful enough to operate an automobile. The further development of the highly efficient fuel cell system will eventually allow consumers to fill up fuel cell-powered vehicles at their local gasoline stations, while increasing their gas mileage. "The successful operation of this fuel cell system on gasoline clearly demonstrates the viability of fuel cell power systems for automobiles using readily available gasoline," Secretary Richardson said. "This development is part of the government-industry effort to triple the mileage -- eighty miles per gallon -- of conventional automobiles, reducing our reliance on imported oil."
