Welcome to Fuel Cell Today's latest newsletter.

One of the major highlights this week was the delivery of General Motor’s
(GM) first stationary fuel cell unit to Dow Chemical. This marks the start
of the world's largest fuel cell transaction, since GM plans to install
ultimately 400 of its 75kW PEM units on Dow Chemicals’ sites.

On a similar scale in terms of power output, the Fuelcell Propulsion
Institute has released further details on the development of its 1.2MW PEM
fuel cell powered locomotive which is funded by the US Army.

In terms of technical development, the last fortnight was dominated by
various announcements of progress in the field of fuel production and
storage. Brookhaven National Laboratory revealed a low-temperature process
of producing pure hydrogen; scientists from the Korean Hankook University
of Foreign Studies and the University of Michigan presented a newly
developed metal-organic framework which can store hydrogen and researchers
from the Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico
have developed a way of mimicking photosynthetic proteins to manipulate
platinum at the nanoscale.

Elsewhere on Fuel Cell Today, you can read about the future use of fuel
cells in transport as we recently published articles about fuel cells in
motorsport, in fleet vehicles and the development of a fuel cell 
three-wheeler which will cross Europe on just 2kg of hydrogen .
