The Fuel Cell Challenge - From Vision To Reality
The Greater Columbia Fuel Cell Challenge seeks to engage firms and service providers to partner with the City of Columbia and the University of South Carolina to assist in the design and implementation of a groundbreaking plan involving unprecedented integration of hydrogen fuel cell technology into multiple aspects of the City and the University. Columbia’s vision of becoming the first planned end-to-end Fuel Cell District will be realized by building the innovation pipeline around fuel cells in three phases: Discovery, Development and Deployment.
We are looking for industry partners involved in fuel cell research, education, energy distribution, transportation, manufacturing and commercialization as we adopt and utilize real world applications and provide a home for cutting edge demonstration projects. Via an RFP (Request For Proposals) process, prospective partners will be evaluated and multiple awards made for this multi-year, multi-million dollar initiative.
The Challenge is being managed by a coalition consisting of The City of Columbia, The University of South Carolina, The South Carolina Research Authority and EngenuitySC.
