Connecticut is home to several fuel cell manufacturers whose products are competitive on the global market, but state officials still overlooked fuel cell technology in the latest round of picks for clean energy development.
The big winners were wind and solar.
Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection gave the green light to proposals in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire.
But no fuel cell projects were selected, despite Connecticut being home to a number of internationally-recognized manufacturers.
