The Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition is a united group of industry, academic, and government
leaders working collectively to accelerate and strengthen Ohio’s fuel cell industry.
Coalition activities focus on:
• Building upon existing industry and academic strengths for a coordinated,
robust fuel cell infrastructure and supply chain;
• Promoting public awareness about the positive role fuel cell technology can
play as an efficient, reliable and environmentally responsible source of
energy in a wide variety of applications;
• Expanding networking and information sharing opportunities that lead to
greater alliances, and understanding of the economic opportunities available
to Ohio organizations; and
• Encouraging federal funding that will leverage state resources in the
development of fuel cell technology and the locating of commercial
development, manufacturing assets, and job creation in Ohio.
Members include NexTech Materials, Cinergy Ventures, Kent State, HydroGen LLC,
FirstEnergy, Air Force Research Lab at WPAFB, Parker Hannifin, Plug Power, Logan
Energy, Millennium Cell, Delphi Corp, Rolls Royce Fuel Cell Systems and others.
The Coalition is supported by grant contributions from Ohio Department of Development,
the Northeast Ohio Technology Coalition (NorTech), the Generation Foundation, and by
member dues.

The Wright Fuel Cell Group, formerly named the Power Partnership for Ohio, was
established by Ohio’s Third Frontier Project to accelerate innovation and
commercialization for the fuel cell industry across the state. The Group is headquartered
at Case Western Reserve University, the lead institution of the academic/industry
partnership. Case Western will house the anchor facility consolidating
commercialization and research activity on or near the campus. In addition to
laboratories and equipment for applied fuel cell research and testing, administrative
space will be available to encourage industrial relations and incubator space for startups
and expanding businesses. Each participating university will also establish facilities
