A new research and development facility opened by JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation at the University of Duisberg-Essen in Germany for testing hydrogen fuel cells under European standards.

A research initiative at Rice University focused on developing solar energy-based methods to make water desalination more efficient and less energy-intensive than conventional distillation processes.

A hydrogen refueling station to be built at the Center for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence in Rainham, Essex, providing fueling support for fuel cell vehicles.

A new catalyst featuring an iron center and nitrogen-containing molecular chains (pendant amines) designed to extract electrons from hydrogen molecules for use in fuel cells, offering a platinum-free alternative.

A solid oxide fuel cell product introduced to the Japanese market for residential combined heat and power systems. It was quickly incorporated into Japan's ENE-FARM system.
