About the Colorado Fuel Cell Center (CFCC)
CFCC seeks to advance fuel-cell research, development, and commercialization and to promote business opportunities in Colorado. The CFCC was created in 2005 with funding from the Governor's Energy Office and co-funding from four partnering organizations. In July 2006 the CFCC was granted status as a Colorado School of Mines research center. The CFCC is managed by a faculty panel consisting of CSM faculty members using the facilities to perform research. The day-to-day activities of the center are handled by a Director. All contracting and business activities are conducted through the Colorado School of Mines.
