Summary:“Opportunities, Progress and Challenges” was the theme chosen for the Fourth Grove Fuel Cell Symposium, held at the Commonwealth Institute, London, from 19 to 22 September 1995. Some 250 delegates from 23 countries heard that fuel cells, used for clean and efficient power generation, had made tremendous technical progress over the 2 years since the last Grove conference. Most advances had been made with the phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) and the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), both of which operate at low temperatures and employ platinum-catalysed electrode materials. The growing acceptance that fuel cell technology is now proving itself in use was demonstrated by the considerable attention paid at this conference to cost reduction, market entry opportunities and the issues surrounding fuelling and infrastructure.
