World Energy Demand
• Strongly increasing energy demand, particularly in Asia
• Dependence of many countries on limited fossile resources
economic impact:increasing costs for energy „harvesting“ and transport political impact:fair distribution of resources
• Emissions local: air polution
global: climate change

Metallic Conductor • Charge transport by electrons• Electrical conductivity decreases at
increasing temperature• If local temperature increases:
local current density decreases local heat production decreases
(Ohmic losses) self-stabilizing effect

Summary: Important Trends in Fuel Cell Engineering
High temperature fuel cells: Molten Carbonate fuel cells (HotModule) are very close to the market Efficient co-production of electricity and heat Internal direct reforming (DIR) is most attractive process variant
Low temperature fuel cells: PEMFC: Problem of water management in membranes Development of water-free membranes for mobile applications
Enzymatic fuel cells: Biomedical applications: interdisciplinary collaboration between
chemical engineering, electrochemistry and organic chemistry necessary
