Fuel cell technology is beginning to influence the distributed power
industry in two major ways — calming energy crisis concerns by
generating power more efficiently, and diminishing the environmental
impact of commercial energy products. Especially promising for immediate
application are hybrid generators that employ a combination of fuel
cell and traditional small-turbine gas technologies, and plants capable
of processing a variety of fuels.
