Fuel Cell Technology Fuel cells have emerged in the last decade as one of the most promising new technology for meeting energy needs for the 21st century.
Fuel cells are efficient, quiet, have no moving parts and emit few harmful emissions.
Fuel cells are an excellent technological solution to the problem caused by present over reliance on carbon fuels. Fuel cells have powered satellites for a number of years and Ballard fuel cell buses are in service in Chicago and Vancouver. Soon, these fuel cells will power much more than buses. The world's leading fuel cell research and development companies, Ballard Power Systems , can be found here in Vancouver. Ballard has spent more than a decade in developing fuel cell technology in the area and have developed the ZEV transit bus that runs on Vancouver streets.
