A recent report entitled "The Business Case for Fuel Cells: Why Top Companies Are Purchasing Fuel Cells Today" by Fuel Cells 2000 features 38 US companies, including 11 Fortune 500 ones, that are making substantial benefits by using fuel cells in their facilities. The applications of fuel cells in these companies range from motive power like vans and forklifts to combined heat and power (CHP) to backup power for telecom equipment.
Here is an interesting video that shows the application of hydrogen-powered lift trucks at a distribution center of the United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI). With 65 lift trucks powered by hydrogen fuel cells, the company expects to cut carbon emissions by approximately 132 metric tons annually along with annual energy savings of approximately 640,000 kWhs.
