Abstract
A five year program on energy storage and fuel cell research has been established in Austria, with the goal to find out what types of batteries and fuel cells could possibly be optimized for commercial applications. In the background there are environmental considerations and others, leading to a future hydrogen economy, also possibly to a use in electric vehicles. The search of the European Space Agency for a suitable system for the HERMES manned space vehicle is contributing considerably to the future prospects. The work in Austria is mainly oriented to low temperature alkaline fuel cell systems and the studies are complementary to a similarly oriented program in Canada, originally started by the Institute for Hydrogen Systems in Mississauga, subsequently continued by private companies in cooperation with the University of Toronto.
