Scientists at Imperial College in London are currently conducting experiments into how fuel cells function.

They are looking at a variety of fuel cells including solid oxide fuel cells, suitable for powering buildings and polymer electrolyte fuel cells, used in vehicles, both of which they are aiming to improve.

The research is being carried out for the UK Energy Research Centre and is headed by Professor Nigel Brandon, who was present at the recent fuel cell information event, held in Trafalgar Square as a precursor to the Ninth Grove Fuel Cell Symposium.

Joining Professor Brandon at the event were Dr Dan Brett and Dr Anna Lashtabeg, who explained the benefits of fuel cell technology and how they work to members of the public.

"It's great for us to have this opportunity to tell the public about the work we have been doing," enthused Dr Brett to university reporters.

"People are increasingly aware of the importance of cutting carbon emissions and tackling global warming and we welcome the chance to tell people about how our research can make a positive contribution."
