Areas of Interest:
ICEPT conducts research into all
types of fuel cells, but concentrates on techno-economic analysis, strategy, policy, environmental implications of their use and on
system modelling.
Activity and Expertise:
ICEPT carries out LCA assessment,
scenario modelling, economic, financial and environmental analysis, assesses
public attitudes, makes policy recommendations and conducts well-to-wheels
