Over the past thirty five years, the transportation sector has accounted for approximately 25 % of the total gross energy consumption in the United States. Transportation's share of petroleum use in this time frame has ranged from 50-55 %/l with a jump to over 60 % in the 1980s. Therefore, the use of fuel cell/battery hybrid power plants that could possibly operate more efficiently than internal combustion engines (ICE) in this type of application has been examined. In addition, the fuel cell power plants can operate on methanol produced from indigenous, non-petroleum sources and, thereby, reduce U.S. dependency on petroleum resources. Fuel cell/battery hybrid power plant use in automobiles has been explored and feasibility determined from both performance and cost viewpoints.
