Fuel Cell Reference Charts

These charts are designed to be references, showing who's doing what and the status of their work. They are all updated regularly and can be downloaded in pdf format. You must have Acrobat Reader to view and download most of the charts. This software can be downloaded for FREE at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

* All charts are searchable by using the 'Binocular' icon in Acrobat Reader

Fuel Cell Light Duty Vehicles

Shows all fuel cell light duty (cars, SUVs, Mini-vans, etc.) prototypes and concepts and lists useful information on each vehicle like year shown, fuel cell size and type, fuel cell manufacturer, range, top speed, fuel used, targeted market date, and picture.

Fuel Cell Buses

Shows all bus prototypes and concepts and lists useful information on each - year shown, fuel cell size and type, fuel cell manufacturer, range, top speed, fuel used, targeted market date, and picture.

Fuel Cell Specialty Vehicles

Shows specialty vehicles powered by fuel cells - motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, boats, airplanes, forklifts, etc.

Worldwide Hydrogen Fueling Stations

Shows all built and planned to be built hydrogen fueling stations worldwide, listed by country and city. This chart also lists the hydrogen fueling station project partners, the current project status, the hydrogen production techniques used, other useful information, as well as station pictures.

Worldwide Fuel Cell Installation Chart

This chart lists all the fuel cell installations to date worldwide along with general information for each installation. Last updated in 2005. Please visit our Worldwide Stationary Fuel Cell Installation Database and State Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Database for up-to-date fuel cell installation data.

Noise Emissions

As this noise level chart shows, normal conversation happens around 60 dBA, which is right around the current noise measurements for all fuel cells applications, (1 kW to 250 kW units). This is extremely quiet, especially taking into account that fuel cell unit noise measurements are performed at a distance of only 1 meter away. Typical noise levels are taken much farther away from the sound source. Reasons why fuel cells are so quiet: no combustion (explosions) or moving parts. When integrated into a system, air pumps and/or fans are typically needed, which are usually the only source of noise on a fuel cell vehicle and fuel cell power unit.

Fuel Cell Equity Chart

See which venture capital and investment companies are investing in fuel cell and hydrogen generation companies. Lists companies, investment amount, type of funding and purpose.
