European Commission energy politics pleads to guarantee electrical energy supply and reduce emissions associated with the climatic change. This requires immediate performances to develop renewable energy sources, alternative fuels for transportation and the increase of the energy efficiency of systems.
In this context, two technologies are attracting to the public and private sectors: the hydrogen, clean energetic vector that can be produced from any primary energy source (mainly wind and photovoltaic energy) and the cell fuels, very efficient devices to convert energy.
This paper presents a revision of the different technologies of fuel cells susceptible of being used to generate electrical energy and cogeneration processes.
