Notes to Editors

 

The U.S. Fuel Cell Council provides its members an opportunity to help shape the programs, policies, and practices needed to commercialize fuel cells. Members have access to exclusive reports and analyses, technical collaboration and many other activities, including an annual congressional reception in Washington, D.C.

 

The U.S. Fuel Cell Council was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit trade association, and grew rapidly to be the voice of the fuel cell industry. Membership is open to anyone seeking to foster the commercialization of fuel cells, and includes producers of all types of fuel cells, major suppliers, automakers and their organizations, allied trade associations, and others.
