Fuel cell experts coming to town

By JOURNAL STAFF

SEATTLE -- Members of a national team working to develop affordable fuel cells will meet in Seattle tomorrow and Wednesday at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center.

Teams will display prototypes of their fuel cells and discuss technology progress and new applications for solid oxide fuel cells.

Representatives of Boeing and Paccar will discuss their roles in commercial aircraft and truck programs. Military officials will report on fuel cell programs, and members of an environmental panel will discuss the role of fossil fuels and fuel cells.

The gathering is part of the Solid-State Energy Conversion Alliance, a collaboration of industry, universities and research institutions working to advance low-cost solid oxide fuel cells. The alliance is led by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland and the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh and Morgantown, W.Va.
