UK Fuel Cell Development and Deployment Roadmap
The
UK Fuel Cell Development and Deployment Roadmap, published in
2005, provides a comprehensive schedule of actions to address the challenges to
the development and deployment of fuel cells in the UK. Consultation and
detailed discussions with key stakeholders whose future involvement will make a
difference to the industry were important components in building the Roadmap.
A total of 48 discrete challenges were identified. These fell into five main
groups:
- Regulation and policy
- Market development
- Education, training and awareness
- Technology development – industry
- Technology development – research community
Five key recommendations emerged:
|
|
i.
|
The need to build high-level political buy-in |
|
|
ii.
|
The need to enhance support for fuel cell research and
development
|
|
|
iii. |
The need to establish a fuel cell coordination group within
Government |
| |
iv. |
The need to foster significant deployment of fuel cells |
| |
v. |
The need to introduce a forward public commitment to buy. |
