First flight

摘要

Two weeks ago, at a specially convened DTI conference in London, energy minister Malcolm Wicks made a point of underlining the government's commitment to the future of fuel cells as well as the possible rewards for the UK's burgeoning fuel cell industry. The conference — designed to highlight the government's £15m fuel cell demonstration programme — coincided with the launch of the new Low Carbon and Fuel Cell Knowledge Transfer Network. This newest member of the KTN family aims to bring together all the stakeholders in the UK's fuel cell industry and is to be managed by the UK's Centre of Excellence for low-carbon and fuel cell technologies, Cenex.
