ANOTHER STEP toward
putting Ballard zcro-emission
fuel cells in tomorrow's car
engines has been reached.

By lan Noble
News Reporter

On Oct. 3, North Vancouver-
based Ballard announced that a
fuel cell has achieved the power
density — described as power per
weight and volume — required for
use in an automobile,

_ “This achievement exceeds the
power density targets for a practi-
cal fuel-cell powered vehicle set by
auto manufacturers and the U.S.
Department of Energy.’ said
Ballard vice-president of technolo-
gy Keith Prater.

“Now that the power density
goal has been achieved, Bullard's
commercialization focus is on cost
reduction and developing volume
manufacturing processes for fuel
cells.” he added,

The fuel cell (which converts
natural gas, methanol, or hydrogen
fuel into electricity without com-
bustion) was developed by Ballard
and Germany's Daimler-Benz.

The power density achieved by
the fuel cell is more than five times
that of earlier generation fuel celts
used in Ballard's 1993 fuel cell bus
and Benz's 1994 fuel cell van.

The latest cell marks the high-
est density achieved in proton
exchange membrane fuel cells.
The announcement was made in
London, U.K., at the International
Grove Fuel Cell Conference.
