Fuel Cell Dynamics: Reality, Not Hype

September 19, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Allied Business Intelligence Inc. (ABI, Oyster Bay, NY) has rescheduled its conference, "Fuel Cell Dynamics: Reality, Not Hype", to February 6-7, 2002, at the Marriott Marquis in New York.

The conference theme remains the same -- to bring the stationary, portable and automotive fuel cell players together to examine the evolving industry. The leading industry players, such as SiemensWestinghouse, Fuel Cell Energy, H Power, Plug Power and Medis Technologies, and the financial powerhouses Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch will still be speaking at the conference.

"The fuel cell industry's importance has increased in the aftermath of this tragic event," said Atakan Ozbek, ABI vice president of Energy Research. "When we add the instability and security cost of imported oil to the nation's energy demand, the fuel cell technologies' strategic magnitude is impossible to miss. This conference will now play a more critical role by bringing all the fuel cell players across the industry together, allowing the commercialization sooner rather than later and lessening US reliance on imported oil."
