Lab showcases renewable energy technologies for DOE

David Garman, right, Department of Energy assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy, listens as Mahlon Wilson of Electronic and Electrochemical Materials and Devices (MST-11) describes how a hydrogen-powered fuel cell works to power a personal mobility vehicle. The large silver-colored canister contains a metal hydride that supplies hydrogen to the fuel cell. This effort is one of several fuel cell research programs at the Laboratory. Inset photo: Garman rides the personal mobility vehicle in a laboratory at the Physics Building at Technical Area 3. Garman visited several Laboratory facilities where fuel cell and high temperature superconductivity research is conducted. He also received briefings on industrial processing, lighting, water and combustion technology research. At left in photo is Ross Lemons, MST Division leader. Center, behind Garman is Wilson and Robert Fields, also of MST-11. Photos by Richard Robinson, Imaging Services (IM-4)
