The University of Hawaii will use Department of Energy funding to investigate the impact of airborne contaminants on fuel cell performance and durability. The University will conduct bench-scale laboratory studies to accomplish this objective. Project research will be conducted in laboratory facilities at the University of Hawaii and at their subawardee (University of Connecticut) laboratory facilities. Both Universities have submitted a research and development questionnaire which explains their established safety protocols, operating procedures, waste handling procedures, chemical handling procedures and established Environmental Health and Safety standards in place for this type of work.
