Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Fuel Cell
Technologies: State And Perspectives, Kyiv, Ukraine from 6 to 10 June
2004

Fuel Cells have become a potential highly efficient sustainable source
of energy and electricity for an ever-demanding power hungry world. The
two main types of fuel cells ripe for commercialisation are the high
temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and the low temperature
polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM). The commercial uses of
which include, but are not limited to, military, stand-by power,
commercial and industrial, and remoter power. However, all aspects of
the electricity market are being considered.

This book has brought together a team of world-renowned experts in all
aspects of fuel cell development for both SOFC and PEM in a workshop
environment. The workshop held between June 6 ? 10 2004 was held in the
capital city of the Ukraine, Kiev. The reason for the venue was that
Ukraine is the third largest resource of zircon sands, a major source
of material for the solid oxide fuel cell. Ukraine is looking at
undertaking a very large effort in the solid oxide fuel cell arena, and
hopes, one day, to be an international player in this market, this book
is an outcome from the workshop. The book has a focus on the issues
related to fuel cells, particularly the state-of-the-art
internationally, the issues that were of particular interest for
getting fuel cells fully commercialized, and advances in fuel cell
materials and technology. The focus was on all types of fuel cells, but
the emphasis was particularly on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), due to
their importance to the host country. The book is an essential
reference to researchers, academics and industrialists interested in
up-to-date information on SOFC and PEM development.
