Direct Fuel Cell Field Trials and Commercialization Progress
Document Sample
Building Blocks for Commercialization
We intend to be the leading manufacturer of fuel cell products for
the global stationary power generation market
Structured products to serve a variety of power
generation applications
Market assessment to determine early markets for fuel
cells utilization
Attaining customer valuation of product attributes
Assuring adequate production capacity to meet market
demand
Developing distribution channels to connect products with
targeted markets
“Current focus is execution”

Waste Water Treatment Facilities – A Unique Opportunity
Uses anaerobic digester gas from industrial and municipal
waste water treatment facilities
Use of “bio” gas makes this a “renewable” application.
