Transitioning to Post-Carbon Energy - AU Sustainability


American University - Carbon neutral by 2020

AVENUE 2: On-campus renewable energy production

This blog will detail the ongoing efforts engaging with American University’s ongoing efforts to become carbon neutral by 2020.

Project Scope:

This proposed research project plans to review the potential of implementing fuel cell technologies at the AU campus, with the primary focus on demonstrating the feasibility of creating a small scale pure “hydrogen economy” system on campus. 


The project will focus on the 4 potential technological area’s of a fuel cell program at AU
  1.        Fuel cell and hydrogen system backgrounds
  2.        Stationary fuel cell power stations
  3.        Renewable hydrogen production units
  4.        Mobile applications
