Where Clean Energy Goes to work
Ohio - top destination for the fuel cell industry.
Ohio is internationally recognized as a global center for the fuel cell industry.
Here there is a unique combination of knowledge, resources and infrastructure to support the development of this clean and efficient energy technology.
Ohio's advantages include a coordinated partnership of government, industry and universities (which creates efficiencies in bringing viable products to market) as well as an existing manufacturing/advanced materials network and exemplary government funding and legal/regulatory framework.
The result is a hotbed of fuel cell businesses that are making real products today.
Why is all this important? demand for new energy sources has never been more urgent. Fuel cell technology has been around for years, and in Ohio products are now emerging.
Its happening in Ohio because here we have the greatest concentration of applied fuel cell technology in the world. and that is good for industry, good for Ohio, and good for the earth.
