Delphi Helps Fund Kettering Center for Fuel Cells

Kettering University has received $100,000 for its fuel cell efforts from Delphi Corp. (Troy, MI), propelling research on emerging technology and helping Kettering establish a world-class education and trained workforce for the developing fuel cell industry. Kettering's Center for Fuel Cell Systems and Powertrain Integration will receive the funding from Delphi over the next four years.

Delphi's contribution builds on Kettering's fuel cell program. In January, Kettering received a $1.8 million grant from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) of the US Department of Commerce, helping the university start construction on the Center for Fuel Cell Systems and Powertrain Integration. Kettering's fuel cell center will consist of approximately 8,600 ft² of state-of-the-art laboratories, a combined teaching studio and control room, and space to support business incubators for new and existing companies in Kettering's new C.S. Mott Engineering and Science Center.
