Abstract

Fuel cell technology is considered one of the hottest topics in green energy and has become an emerging green energy industry internationally. In the meantime, the development of the fuel cell industry has been recognized as one of the key rising industries in Taiwan. Since 2009, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has collaborated with Chung-Hua Institute for Economic Research (CIER) in implementing the fuel cell demonstration and promotion program supported by the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs. This program focuses on three major areas for application of fuel cells: backup power supply, normal power & combined heat power (CHP) supply, and motive power supply for transportation applications.
