U.S. DOE fuel cell vehicle American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding

摘要

According to U.S. DOE Secretary Steven Chu, the agency will spend a total of $41.9 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding for fuel cell technology. Chu added, "These efforts will accelerate the commercialization and deployment of fuel cells and will create jobs in fuel cell manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and support services. The new funding will improve the potential of fuel cells to provide power in stationary, portable and specialty vehicle applications, while cutting carbon emissions and broadening our nation's clean energy technology portfolio... Developing and deploying the next generation of fuel cells will not only create jobs - it will help our businesses become more energy efficient and productive. We are laying the foundation for a green energy economy."
