Extensive plastics use slashes fuel cell cost

摘要

Ticona(Kelster bach,Germany)has unveiled a prototype plastics-based hydrogen fuel cell that,if mass produced at a level of 20,000 2-kW units,would cost only E 790 kW(stack cost).The cost of the prototype itself was E 3000 kW,which is also significantly less than existing fuel cells that extensively employ stainless steel components that typically cost E10,000 /kW.
