The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Fuel Cell Technologies Office and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) held a workshop on January 13, 2011, in Washington, DC, to discuss waste-to-energy and fuel cell use. Workshop objectives were to (1) identify DOD-DOE waste-to-energy and fuel cells opportunities, (2) identify challenges and determine actions to address them, (3) determine specific ways fuel cell and related technologies can help meet Executive Order 13514 requirements, and (4) identify the next steps for collaboration.
