Stark State College Fuel Cell Prototyping Center

Stark State College Fuel Cell Prototyping Center

  To help Ohio create and retain high quality jobs, Stark State College of Technology has constructed a $4.7 million Fuel Cell Prototyping Center. Completed in the Fall of 2006, the Center is designed for use by emerging and fuel cell-related technology companies to assist them in
pre-commercialization prototyping and
demonstration stages of the development of fuel cell-based power generation systems.

The charter tenant in the Fuel Cell Prototyping Center is Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems (US) Inc. The Fuel Cell Prototyping Center was created as part of the Wright Fuel Cell Group, comprised of academic, industry and other collaborators, forming a network to marshal resources to accelerate innovation and commercialization for the fuel cell industry across Ohio.

In addition, Stark State is now offering a fuel cell technology track and scholarship as part of the mechanical engineering technology program. The track incorporates mechanical, electrical, and chemical technologies to provide education for the application of scientific and engineering principles focused on alternative energy sources and more specifically, fuel cell technology.
