The following centers are affiliated with government or university based research. Cutting edge technology is being developed here:
Advanced Vehicle Development(AVD)
Georgetown University
The AVD program focuses on using fuel cell technology in mass transit buses. The program began in 1983 with funding from the Federal Transit Administration. Since that time 3 phases of fuel cell buses were developed.
Connecticut Global Fuel Cell Center(CGFCC)
University of Connecticut
Established in 2001 as a partnership between the UCONN School of Engineering, Connecticut Innovations Inc., and Connecticut industry. It is the mission of the CGFCC to identify and bring together the necessary elements of science, engineering, and society to make fuel cells technically and economically feasible energy conversion devices for a sustainable civilization.
Energy and Environmental Technology Application Center(E2TAC)
State University of New York Albany
Established in 1998, E2TAC is an extension of Albany NanoTech (ANT). The focus of E2TAC is to apply ANT into emerging energy and environmental technology, including fuel cell development and hydrogen storage.
Fuel Cell Program at the Desert Research Institute (DRI)
University of Nevada -Reno
Research conducted at DRI on fuel cell technology is focused on technology validation, industry applications, and hydrogen production via renewable energy. The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Program at DRI is a partnership between the University of Nevada Desert Research Institute and the Nevada State Energy Office.
Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI)
University of Hawaii
HNEI as established by the Legislature in 1974, in the aftermath of the world's first oil crisis, to seek new forms of energy that would supplant the nation's tremendous dependence on fossil fuels. HNEI has a stong research component in hydrogen production and fuel cell technology as well as renewable energy technology.
Hydrogen Energy Center (H2E Center)
Penn State University
The center serves as a focal point for the multi-investigator activities at Penn State in the various colleges, centers, and institutes on hydrogen production, storage and utilization systems.
Hydrogen Research and Applications Center(HRAC)
University of South Central Florida
The HRAC is focusing its efforts on research to produce, store and apply hydrogen for both space and Earth applications. The results of this research will be two-fold — help for NASA in meeting the fuel needs of the next generation of space vehicles as well as the present Shuttle fleet, and assistance to automakers and others in making the transition from diminishing fossil fuels to this abundant alternative fuel.
Montana Futures Park @UM
This cutting-edge, sustainable campus and alternative energy demonstration and research center was designed for the University of Montana's College of Technology. The plan was developed for a site at Fort Missoula in Missoula, MT. View an architectural rendering of this facility by clicking here.
NextEnergy
NextEnergy is a non-profit corporation that seeks to advance the alternative energy technology industry in Michigan. The research center is located on the campus of Wayne State University in Detroit, MI.
Sandia Hydrogen Program
Sandia's hydrogen-related research spans every aspect of the interdependent network forming our hydrogen infrastructure. From investigating potential new ways of isolating hydrogen to ensuring a sound technical basis for codes and standards
Schatz Energy Research Center(SERC)
Humboldt State University
Affiliated with Humboldt State University's Environmental Resources Engineering program, SERC provides a rare opportunity for undergraduate and graduate engineering students to acquire hands-on experience with cutting-edge energy technologies including fuel cells and photovoltaics.
