Columbia, SC issues Fuel Cell Challenge

What will you do the next time you're in Columbia, South Carolina? How about working on a hydrogen fuel cell? The Greater Columbia Fuel Cell Challenge is working to make Columbia the town for fuel cell technology with a downtown Fuel Cell District, the University of South Carolina Columbia Fuel Cell Collaborative and, in 2009, the annual convention of the National Hydrogen Association. The Challenge group is currently looking for proposals to develop the Fuel Cell District so it enhances ongoing fuel cell research at USC and collaboration with local business and political leaders. Proposals can include ideas on "education and outreach programs, hydrogen production sites, storage and distribution locations - including fueling stations - and multiple end-use applications", the Fuel Cell Challenge group says.
