Fuel Cells and Beyond...
This year, the CFCI annual symposium is showcasing technologies beyond fuel cells. We are joining forces with our collaborators in the NYSTAR designated Center for Future Energy Systems: energy system research and development projects from both Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Cornell University will be highlighted in this year's symposium. Topics will include fuel cells, solar photovoltaics, efficient lighting, and electrical energy storage. We look forward to brining you this expanded program!
CFCI
The Cornell Fuel Cell Institute is an inter-disciplinary research center focused on developing novel materials to enable advanced technologies for lower temperature fuel cells. We are a thoroughly collaborative institute, bridging the departments of Materials Science & Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Chemistry and Chemical Biology.
We are developing materials designed to overcome the challenges that are preventing viable polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell products today: cost, performance and durability. Thus, our research broadly impacts the forthcoming fuel cell industry: from automobiles, to stationary applications, to portable power.
NYSTAR Center for Future Energy Systems (CAT)
The Center for Future Energy Systems is one of 15 NYSTAR-designated Centers for Advanced Technology across New York State.
A collaborative effort amongst Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Cornell University, and Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Center for Future Energy Systems will meet the energy challenges of the 21st century by focusing on research in low cost-high efficiency photovoltaic technologies, compound semiconductor materials, advanced lighting sources, smart lighting and displays, intelligent building architectures, wind, bioenergy, fuel cell, battery and energy technologies, and distributed generation grid testing.
