On 14th October, the European Union and European Industry announce plans to make fuel cells and hydrogen one of Europe's leading new strategic energy technologies of the future. Fuel cells, as an efficient conversion technology, and hydrogen, as a clean energy carrier, have a great potential to help address energy challenges facing Europe. The European Commission, the European Industry and the European Research Community, which compose this public-private Joint Technology Initiative (JTI), will invest together nearly 1 billion Euros over six years in fuel cells and hydrogen research, technological development and demonstration. The goal is to achieve mass-market roll-out of these promising technologies before 2020.
