News.com displayed a gallery of the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cell that was unveiled last week. The 200 kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell in Sunnyvale, CA will provide electricity, cooling and heat to the buildings and is 50 percent efficient. The unit heats methane with steam to create hydrogen and the hydrogen is then passed through a proton exchange membrane (PEM) which ceates a reaction that produces electricity. The hot water from the reaction is also piped through the building to create heat. Fujitsu hopes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to below 1990 levels by 2010.
