Abstract :
Ballard Power Systems Inc. is developing fuel cell propulsion systems for undersea applications. One of the key development issues in this process is the safe, practical storage and delivery of hydrogen fuel. Various storage methods are discussed and compared. Some methods have significant potential for the undersea environment, but will require further development before they will be feasible for full-scale applications
