PEM module, according to another site, is okay for 2500 hours, previous post mentioned goal of 5000 hours. If achieved, this is good fit with transport sector - ie comparable to engine, but not good fit with stationary power needs. I'm trying to solicit more info from thread posters on this - keeping my comments to technology and market fact finding rather than commenting one way or another on share price.

I do give this company an extraordinary amount of credit in the way in which they have grown their capitalization through alliances with industrial giants as they have achieved technical milestones.

In the Ballard 1996 annual report, page 10 stated:

"In 1993, Ballard completed testing of the 3rd generation
proprietary fuel cell membrane exceeded 5,000 hours
in a single cell. Ballard fuel cell achieved over 11,000
hours of operation."

The durability of the fuel cell membrane is not in
question. The problem would come from carbon monoxide
contamination. The reformed gas has to be very pure,
otherwise too much soot build up.
