One possibility for supplying household energy is to distribute electricity from central fuel cell-based power plants to houses in the surrounding area. However, it may become cheaper to store methanol in each plant and use it in the co-generation of heat and electricity.19 Such a scheme would also make possible advantages in the distribution of lighting in households via pipes from a central light source powered by fuel cells. This type of situation may provide an application for phosphoric acid cells. 

Why is it important to place this discussion of hydrogen and FCVs into an explicit social science context Rosa et al. (1988) notes that initial research in the area of household energy use "was guided by the singular assumption, derived from an engineering perspective, that household...

Billion cubic feet (Bcf) A xmit typically used to define gas production volumes in the coalbed methane industry 1 Bcf is roughly equivalent to the volume of gas required to heat approximately 12,000 households for 1 year (based on 2001 U.S. Department of Energy average household energy consumption statistics).
