Welcome
A Message from the Technical Program and Applications
and Markets Committee Chairs:
Welcome to the 2010 Fuel Cell Seminar & Exposition! The Fuel
Cell Seminar & Exposition (FCS&E) provides an exciting
opportunity to learn about and experience the latest advances in
fuel cell research, development and demonstration/application. The
Seminar was created in 1976 as a forum for researchers and
developers alike to share new findings, as well as successes and
failures, within the fuel cell community. Since then, the FCS&E
has grown along with its industry, in terms of the numbers of
participants; the numbers of demonstrations of fuel cells; and the
state-of-the-art of the technology.
This year's conference, Fuel Cells: Delivering the
Power of a Greener Future, will expand on the conference's
mission to advance the global energy, environmental, and
economic benefits offered by fuel cell technology. Through
our extensive technical program and exciting exposition featuring
international partners, the FCS&E showcases the importance of
fuel cells in the development of energy strategies that reduce or
eliminate greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions.
The 2010 technical program will feature four parallel tracks
that cover all aspects of fuel cell R&D, applications, and
commercialization. The high temperature fuel cell
track will include sessions on solid oxide fuel cells,
molten carbonate and direct carbon fuel cells, and fuel processing.
The low temperature fuel cell track offers topics
on global perspectives, fuel cell testing and modeling, and
hydrogen research and development. Our third track will focus on
the broad range of fuel cell applications
including transportation, stationary, and portable power systems.
The final track will cover emerging markets,
economic considerations, government incentive programs, as well as
manufacturing advancements.
With exhibitors from Canada, Finland, Germany, the UK, Denmark,
Taiwan, Greece, and Japan, the 2010 Exposition will certainly
provide attendees with a global perspective on the market. The
exposition allows attendees to touch real fuel cell systems and
components and it provides the opportunity to network with leaders
of the international fuel cell industry.
Attendees will also continue to enjoy several of the educational
opportunities, for which The Seminar & Exposition has become
known, including technical poster presentations and short courses.
1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes will be awarded to posters exhibited
at this year's Fuel Cell Seminar & Exposition.
Back this year is the popular Women in Fuel Cells Luncheon,
which celebrates women who demonstrate excellence within the fuel
cell community and provides a unique networking opportunity. And
don't forget about our FCS&E Ride & Drive in which YOU can
drive the latest models of fuel cell vehicles. Be sure to get in
line early for this popular event! Networking is one of the
essential missions of the FCS&E. Meet with and get to know the
rest of the fuel cell community during our Welcome and Industry
Receptions!
On behalf of the 2010 Fuel Cell Seminar & Exposition
Technical Program and Applications & Markets Committees, we
look forward to your participation in the 2010 Fuel Cell Seminar
& Exposition!
