The Fuel Cell Consortium for Performance and Durability's (FC-PAD's) core lab team consists of five national laboratories and leverages a multi-disciplinary team and capabilities to accelerate improvements in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance and durability.
FC-PAD is one of several consortia funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Fuel Cell Technologies Office in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Each consortium follows a similar model, where the core team consisting of the national labs will serve as a resource to industry and later also collaborate on innovative projects with universities and companies.
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is the consortium lead, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is the deputy lead, and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) serve as technical partners. Technology transfer and data expert teams with representatives from each of the core national labs support the consortium.
