The Queen's-RMC Fuel Cell Research Centre (FCRC) is Canada's leading university-based research and development organization in partnership with industry dedicated to advancing the knowledge base for addressing the key technology challenges to the commercialisation of fuel cell applications. Hydrogen + Fuel Cells 2013 (HFC2013) Power, Transportation and Energy Storage: An Industry on the Move - REGISTER NOW
Hydrogen + Fuel Cells 2013 (HFC2013) is the sixth edition of its kind, a leading international conference for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry hosted by the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association. This year, the conference will be held from June 16- June 19, 2013, at the Vancouver Convention Centre, located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. HFC2013 will feature prominent industry and government leaders as keynote speakers as well as plenary and parallel sessions focusing on key issues and new initiatives within the sector. The Exhibition and Trade Show area of the conference will provide attendees with a place to network and partner with global leaders in the business, government and scientific communities.

ENERGY STORAGE AND RECOVERY ONTARIO FUNDING ANNOUNCED The Honorable John Gerretsen on behalf of the Ministry of Research and Innovation announced $1,503,600 in funding from the Ontario Research Fund - Research Excellence program for the Energy Storage and Recovery Ontario (ESARO) project, which will develop technologies to help in managing the variability of solar and wind power generation. The project team is led by Dr. Brant Peppley, Queen's University and includes researchers from Queen's University (Dr. Dominik Barz, Dr. Pascale Champagne, Dr. Boyd Davis, Dr. Philip Jessop, Dr. Kunal Karan, Dr. Warren Mabee, Dr. Jon Pharoah), Royal Military College of Canada (Dr. Cecile Malardier-Jugroot, Dr. Chris Thurgood), the University of Waterloo (Dr. Michael Fowler), and the University of Western Ontario (Dr. Andy Sun). “Our project will allow society to use renewable energy more effectively and will create an opportunity for Ontario to manufacture energy systems that complement renewable energy. These energy systems could then be exported to many countries in the world, increasing the global use of intermittent wind and solar energy,” says Dr. Peppley, Director of the Queen’s-RMC Fuel Cell Research Centre and the Canada Research Chair in Fuel Cells.

6 May 2013 Barbra Brousseau Moves to a new position as Department Manager for Global Development Studies
The Fuel Cell Research Centre will greatly miss having Barbra taking care of the operations and the day to day life of the research centre. She has done an exceptionally excellent job of looking after everyone's employment needs and made sure that people got paid, had airplanes to get on and desks to sit in. Barbra has been an integral part of FCRC since its founding and looked after the logistics of doing research from even earlier during the era of CAMM (Centre of Automotive Materials and Manufacturing). We all wish her well in her new position in Global Development Studies.
