The Technology Collaboration Programme on Advanced Fuel Cells' Current Annexes
The Technology Collaboration Programme on Advanced Fuel Cells has eight active annexes. These are the active work areas underway within the AFC TCP. These comprise three technology-based annexes (Electrolyis, SOFC and PEFC), three application-based annexes (stationary, transportation, portable applications), with the Systems Analysis Annex encompassing all these annexes, and a Modelling Annex.
