2. Introduction:
A fuel cell is a device that converts the
chemical energy from the fuel into electricity
through chemical reaction with oxygen or
another oxidizing agent.
It is clean, safe and reliable forms.

10. Future trend in fuel cell:
These improved fuel cells may soon be seen in many areas of our lives. For example,
fuel cells may soon provide auxiliary equipment power on commercial aircraft.
They could be used in cars, commercial power plants, and personal electronics.
Glenn is developing and investigating fuel cells for emissions-free aircraft, the
International Space Station, reusable launch vehicles, a Mars airplane as well as for
systems to produce electricity and store energy on the Moon and Mars.
11. Conclusion:
The Direct Fuel Cell is a perfect fit for a number of emerging markets that require a
technology that can provide Ultra-Clean distributed generation over a range of sizes.
While alternative sources of electrical energy are generally viewed in the role of
backup power, fuel cells are beginning to take centre stage for base load power in DG
applications.
Fuel Cell Energy is at the forefront of such progress and is certain to remain so with
the company’s continually evolving Direct Fuel Cell technology and products.
