Abstract
This directory is a companion to the iRAP report, EN-103: Fuel Cells, Hydrogen
Energy and Related Nanotechnology - A Global Industry and Market Analysis.
As noted in the report, more than 3,870 organizations are involved in fuel
cell technology, hydrogen as an energy source and related nanotechnology. Of
those, more than 2,180 organizations are involved in nanotechnology related to
fuel cells and hydrogen energy and will spend a total of $4.7 billion for fuel
cells and hydrogen energy incorporating nanotechnology. Of that $4.7 billion,
about $2 billion in 2008 expenditures, or 24% of the total spending,
represents the value of nanotechnology for fuel cells and hydrogen energy
separate from all other expenditures.
This directory provides profiles of more than 800 companies, government
organizations and universities involved in commercializing fuel cells,
hydrogen energy and related nanotechnology. The information is drawn from
their websites, press releases, media stories, annual reports, conference
presentations, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and
reports to the U.S. Department of Energy and other Federal agencies, as well
as reports to various U.S. states and reports to various agencies in European
and Asian governments. Some profiles are the result of foreign language
translations of public information. Languages from which some profiles were
translated include French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Russian,
Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
The companies and organizations profiled were selected for their leadership
positions in sales and technology related to fuel cells, hydrogen energy and
related nanotechnology, as well as those companies that are major material
providers to the fuel cell industry. Companies and organizations were also
chosen for their nanotechnology contributions to the fuel cell and hydrogen
energy industries.
The directory is divided into four broad sections. The first section covers
companies primarily involved in proton exchange fuel cells (PEMFC), direct
methanol fuel cells (DMFC) and other low temperature fuel cells. The second
section covers high temperature fuel cell companies involved in solid oxide
fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells and phosphoric acid fuel cells. The
third section provides profiles of companies involved in providing hydrogen
and other fuels for fuel cells. The fourth section covers other companies
such as those that provide the balance of plant apparatus and materials. This
section is the smallest, as the focus is on those companies with involvement
in both nanotechnology for fuel cells and hydrogen energy.
Within each section, the companies are arranged in alphabetical order, with a
brief subtitle following the company or organization name to provide, at a
glance, the chief activity with regard to fuel cells, hydrogen energy and
related nanotechnology. Organization addresses, telephone and fax numbers,
email contact and Websites are provided for most of the companies.
