Building Blocks for Commercialization

We intend to be the leading manufacturer of fuel cell products fWe intend to be the leading manufacturer of fuel cell products for or the global stationary power generation marketthe global stationary power generation market

Structured products to serve a variety of power generation applications

Market assessment to determine early markets for fuel cells utilization

Attaining customer valuation of product attributes

Assuring adequate production capacity to meet market demand

Developing distribution channels to connect products with targeted markets

“Current focus is execution”
