Sectoral changes induced by fuel cells

Because of the high degree of dependence of the economy on the automobile or boiler industry in these regions, it seems worthwhile to investigate the impacts on the supplier and outfitter industries arising from the technological restructuring of 

A detailed analysis published for fuel-cell drive systems by Schirrmeister et al. (2002) showed a specific cost breakdown of the added value of a fuel-cell drive system powered by methanol (a methanol reformer was a reasonable alternative at that time)
