cost of producing them is currently too great for widespread commercial application.
The Carbon Trust is reaching out to UK innovators to submit ideas for a solution.

• The Carbon Trust Polymer Fuel Cells Challenge will fund the development,
proving and commercialising of new polymer fuel cell technologies that have
the potential to deliver a step-change in overall fuel cell cost.
