The CFCRA Core Program is intended for companies wishing to keep tabs on progress in the fuel cell, hydrogen, and related industries. The program gather intelligence by reviewing the technical literature, patent office filings, and industry newsletters, by surveying commercial and company literature, by attending industry conferences, by tapping university and national laboratory relationships, and by participating in USFCC and other industry association activities. By integrating information from all of these sources, the Core Program provides sponsors with a broad, big picture understanding of the current hydrogen technology industry activities and technology status. The program will help sponsors anticipate future industry progress and directions.
