WFCG Partner Facilities
Our
headquarters can accommodate a great deal of fuel cell testing needs
but WFCG is more than that. WFCG is a true partnership. WFCG has
partners and fuel cell facilities around the state each with their own
niche in the fuel cell field. Here's a few highlights:
Case Western Reserve University
Wright Fuel Cell Center
CAPI: Analytical instruments
SOFC lab in Materials
Engineering
Cleveland State University
SOFC lab
Ohio State University
Fuel Cell and Catalyst Research Lab
Stark State College of Technology
Fuel Cell Prototyping Center
University of Toledo

SOFCo-EFS Will Be First Tenant of SSCT Prototyping Center
One WFCG partner, Alliance-based SOFCo-EFS
Holdings LLC, will be the Center's tenant, consolidating all of the
company's activities at the new location. The Center will enable
SOFCo-EFS to develop and test prototypes, thereby accelerating the
commercialization of components and critical sub-assemblies for fuel
cell systems. In the process, it will provide on the job training
opportunities in the Center's state-of-the-art laboratories for
secondary and post-secondary students to learn first-hand the basics of
fuel cell technologies.
SOFCo's President Rodger McKain
remarked: "The new prototyping facility has the unique capability to
test fuel processing systems at scales from a few hundred watts to
hundreds of kilowatts. In addition, it has solid oxide fuel cell
materials development and evaluation equipment, and SOFC testing
capabilities for cells as well as stacks. This center fills the gap
between advanced R&D and commercialization by offering a blend of
testing and developmental equipment for materials processing as well as
system testing. SOFCo plans to move all operations into the FCPC by the
end of this summer." |
SSCT Fuel Cell Technology Summer Workshop: Aug. 7 - 11
Stark State College of Technology is offering a summer workshop for Project Lead the Way
instructors interested in offering Fuel Cell Technology
as the emerging technology elective component of their PLTW program and
is also available to other College Tech Prep high school and professors
interested in learning about fuel cells.

FUEL CELL TODAY FEATURES REPORT
BY BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES
INSTITUTE:
State Activities that Promote Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Infrastructure Development
Many US states have begun to implement initiatives,
policy and partnerships to help bring fuel cells and hydrogen to
commercialization while bringing economic prosperity and environmental
relief to their towns. Breakthrough Technologies Institute has just
released "State Activities That Promote Fuel Cells and Hydrogen
Infrastructure Development."
Upon brief analysis of the study it
appears that of the 48 states (including D.C.) that are engaged in fuel
cell activity, Ohio is ranked among the highest in number of
initiatives related to fuel cells and hydrogen infrastructure
development. Other top states include: CA, NY, PA, MI, TX, CT.
For a comprehensive 230 page state-by-state analysis of these activities view the source link.
