Scottish Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Association: industrialists and researchers in Scotland have come together to form the Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (SHFCA). The body has been set up to promote and develop Scottish expertise in fuel cells and hydrogen technologies – a global market estimated to be worth $46 billion by 2011. SHFCA brings together the expertise and experience of Scotland’s specialised fuel cell companies, academic teaching, research and development bodies, methane generation companies, a variety of consultants, Scottish Enterprise and local enterprise companies, and students and individuals with an interest in the subject. Other companies and universities are encouraged to join. Fuel cells have been developed that use methane as opposed to pure hydrogen and we are initiating a pan-European research project to identify and quantify sources of methane with a view to capture for use in fuel cells and other energy plant. |
