College of Engineering of Central Switzerland, Horw-Lucerne, Switzerland,

Monday June 21st, 1999, 9:00 - 17:30 h

Organisation : Swiss Federal Office of Energy, Berne

Attendance: limited (50 )

Fees: none.

Travel & Accommodation responsibility of the participants*)

*) The Workshop is synchronised with the International Conference "Portable Fuel Cells" in Lucerne.

Please use the Hotel Registration Form of the Conference

http://www.efcf.com/html/forms/hotel_reg.htm

The Workshop will be focussed on the "Technical Obstacles to Market Entry". It will address the problem of Fuelling Portable Fuel Cells and of the appropriate research strategies concerning: Hydrogen storage in carbon nanostructures, Fuel storage in cartridge (disposable vs. reusable), Safety aspect related to fuel (open air vs. in-door), Fuel quality (reducing CO-content), Air blowing, etc.

One novel application will be highlighted at the workshop, i.e. Portable Fuel Cell of 100W & 300 W to propel light electrical pleasure boats. A demonstration will take place on the Lake of Lucerne.
