EESI co-sponsored the 2001 Congressional Fuel Cell Expo which featured exhibits of cutting-edge fuel cell technologies from the nation’s leading fuel cell producers, component suppliers, and research institutions. Fuel cells will soon enter several markets, powering everything from vehicles, homes, and businesses, to cellular phones and laptop computers. The Expo provided the opportunity to learn about these technology advancements directly from the leaders in the industry. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham and the event’s Congressional host, Rep. Nancy Johnson of Connecticut, provided welcoming remarks.

The Expo was sponsored by the U.S. Fuel Cell Council, the trade association dedicated to fostering the commercial introduction of fuel cell technology, with support by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Hydrogen Association, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Environmental and Energy Study Institute.
