 Imagine
-- an engine that combines hydrogen and oxygen without combustion to power
your car. Zero-emission cars powered by Canadian fuel-cell technology
will be in showrooms within the decade, letting us all breathe easier.
NRCan has been a key supporter of Canadian research and development of
this revolutionary technology from its first beginnings over fifteen years
ago.
Called a "Proton Exchange Membrane" fuel cell, it runs on hydrogen. It's
clean and efficient, and has already proven itself in city buses and prototype
cars.
This kind of powerful, environmentally friendly engine could revolutionize
the automobile industry. And Canadian scientists and engineers, supported
by NRCan, have built it.
