New Mexico Aims at Fuel Cells Development

The NM Economic Development Department has just issued a request for proposal seeking a nonprofit organization that could make use of a $200,000 appropriation to market the state's hydrogen assets and attract businesses engaged in hydrogen research.

The contractor will have to establish a public-private partnership between federally funded research and development centers, universities, economic development organizations, government agencies and the state's tiny cadre of private hydrogen-related businesses.
They will also be responsible for helping the state draw up and adopt a set of codes and standards for the operation and use of fuel cells, and promote demonstration projects.
