| Ballard Power Systems, Inc. was founded in 1979 under the name Ballard Research Inc. to conduct research and development in high energy lithium batteries. In 1983, Ballard began developing proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Proof-of-concept fuel cells followed beginning in 1989 and from 1992 to 1994 sub-scale and full-scale prototype systems were developed to demonstrate the technology. Today, these systems have evolved into pre-commercial prototypes proving the practicality of the Ballard® fuel cell and fuel cells are widely viewed as viable alternatives to conventional technologies. Ballard's focus is now on working with its strategic partners to develop competitive products for mass markets by reducing cost and implementing high volume manufacturing processes. |
