ELECTROCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS

  • Chapter
Fuel Cells

Abstract

The consumption of electricity in the U.S. in the year 2000 was 3,613 billion kWh, of which 890 billion kWh was used by the chemical industry to manufacture a wide variety of chemicals.1,2 A breakdown of the energy usage by application in the chemical industry (Table 3.1) indicates that ~130 billion kWh was utilized by the electrochemical industry to generate commodity and specialty chemicals.
