简介：Fuel cells are a future energy system with a high potential for environmentally friendly energy conversion. They can be used in stationary and mobile applications. Depending on the type of fuel cells, stationary applications include small residential, medium-sized cogeneration or large power plant applications. In the mobile sector, fuel cells, particularly low-temperature fuel cells, can be used for heavy-duty and passenger vehicles, for trains, boats or auxiliary power units for air planes. Mobile applications also include portable low power systems for various uses.
Clear environmental advantages can be expectedin the various application areas of fuel cells. For an environmental evaluation of the different service supply options, an investigation of the complete life-cycle of these options is necessary to ensure that no environmental aspect is neglected. The appropriate instrument for this task is life-cycle assessment (LCA).
