Fuel Cells. An alternative in Romania’s energy policy

Summary/Abstract: Energy is an important element in human activities, an indispensable factor and a leading force of our society. Issues such as climate change, an increasing dependence on fossil fuel and rising energy costs are making us to rethink the way we produce and consume it. As for this problem, renewable sources represent a solution for a sustainable energy future. Besides renewable energy, the global demand and issues regarding the energy production, energy security supply and also the climate change, forced the governments to search alternative ways in producing energy. Within this context, the fuel cells that are producing both power and heat can fit into the context of global energy change. The prime markets for fuel cells in Romania are the local and regional one. The fuel cells assay of producing both power and heat may create a market that needs them. The diffusion of this alternative source of energy will be explained by using a market analysis for Romania, which will have as a conclusion Romania’s first step towards a sustainable fuel cell market. The paper will also show the government role in this process.
