Fuel cells as a technology is actually quite old. It has not been widely used yet because of speculative reasons and political problems. Present material science may soon make them a reality particularly in specialized applications. The SOFC appears to be the most promising technology for small electric power plants of over 1 kW. The DAFC appears to be the most promising battery replacement option for portable applications such as cellular phones and laptop computers. It is clear that at this moment, fuel cells will be practical for transportation applications such as automobiles and buses, but hybrid vehicles are likely to be more popular in the future in order to avoid unexpected problems. It is unclear whether hydrogen fuel will be widely used or whether a mostly electric economy will continue to exist. [Pg.628]
