Conclusions<br />

� Sulfur-free FT-fuels can be used in fuel cells to<br />

obtain higher efficiency, quieter operation, and<br />

lower emissions than combustion engines<br />

� There are niche areas where SOFCs already<br />

look promising; i.e. undersea vehicles<br />

� Oxidant source remains a large obstacle<br />

towards implementation in UUVs<br />

� System Demonstration planned <strong>for</strong> this fall in<br />

coordination with InnovaTek’s Phase II SBIR
