Fuel Cell End Users Forum (FCEUF)
The Fuel Cell End Users Forum (FCEUF) is a user focused, peer-to-peer support network structured to assist federal government installations with their fuel cell system needs. The initial focus of the forum is on the nine federal installations planning to receive hydrogen back-up power fuel cells under the Department of Energy Fuel Cell Technologies Program.
The FCEUF will provide a user focused venue that enables a peer-to-peer support network. The forum will allow you to exchange information and gain knowledge, while accelerating the adoption of fuel cell systems. The agenda will be strategically developed based on user/stakeholder feedback and community needs. An end-user voice will emerge through the forum allowing commercial vendors to better address user requirements.
Specifically the FCEUF will:
- Conduct end user only sessions where end users of fuel cells can ask questions, express concerns, share experiences and gain knowledge;
- Establish an on-line repository of reports, technology assessments, fact sheets, lessons learned, and points of contact, etc. that will be accessible by all participants in the Forum;
- Conduct an annual meeting/webinar and quarterly conference calls to exchange information;
- Assist you with your education and outreach activities;
- Provide opportunities to assess new technologies and discuss possible applications;
- Provide opportunities for commercial vendors to describe product offerings and advise on any application/installation concerns; and
- Identify and inform users of public/private funding opportunities
