THE FUTURE OF OUR FUEL-CELL TOTAL-ENERGY SYSTEM - A HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND CLEAN ENERGY SYSTEM

Fuel cells are expected to provide a new kind of power generator in th e near future. They offer high efficiency power generation with little air pollution. They are used to provide electrical power to telecommu nications equipment and heat energy that is used by absorption refrige rators to generate cooling water for air conditioning of telecommunica tions rooms. Use of these systems is expected to help in reducing ener gy costs, which have been increasing year by year, and in reducing env ironmental pollution. This special issue outlines the latest situation in research and development.
