Hydrogen fuel cell design and manufacturing process used for public transportation in Mexico City

According to the energy crisis that the world faces, the international community requires to offer practical solutions for this problem, hydrogen fuel cells are a promising one like an option to generate clean energy and solve this crisis. During the last few years of the twentieth century, people have enhanced the interest to expand and use the fuel cell technology. Environmental concerns about global warming and the need to reduce carbon dioxide (CO ₂) emissions provided the stimulus to seek ways of improving energy conversion efficiency. The Instituto Politécnico Nacional aims through the development of this type of work to be at the forefront of applied knowledge in the design and construction of hydrogen fuel cells. Clean technologies are the technological basis for the design and manufacture of a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) or hydrogen fuel cell technology that are intended to be applied to public transport in Mexico City. This paper describes the design process and construction of a hydrogen fuel cell for specific applications, in this case, bus public transportation.
