The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) hosted the Alkaline Membrane Fuel Cell Workshop on April 1, 2016, in Phoenix, Arizona. Sponsored by the DOE Fuel Cell Technologies Office, the workshop brought together experts to share information and identify the current status and research and development needs for alkaline membrane fuel cell (AMFC) technology.
The goals of the workshop, building on prior workshop efforts, included:
- Assessing the current state of AMFC technology
- Identifying limitations, performance potential, and key research and development needs for AMFC technology
- Identifying early market and longer-term applications
- Discussing test protocols, milestones, and metrics for cells and components.
