One quickly realizes that a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) unit powered by hydrogen or methanol is more than just a stack of cells. Rather, it is a tightly integrated system of pumps, valves, flow meters, sensors, and heat exchangers that must work reliably for thousands of hours. This requires the expertise of a wide range of scientists and engineers to design, fabricate, and test an efficient, low cost unit that can compete in the marketplace with other energy producing devices.
