Home Fuel Cells: First Japan, now Korea

Asia's plan to bypass the hydrogen highway?

There are already thousands of homes in Japan that use fuel cells to manage their home's energy. These fuel cells significantly increase the efficiency of home heating and electricity, while being very solar power friendly. Likewise, these home fuel cells can be used to power fuel cell vehicles.

Now Korea is also jumping on the home fuel cell bandwagon, and is offering massive incentives for residential fuel cell use.

Certainly, the technology continues to be quite expensive, however, it is very interesting how much more seriously Asia is taking home fuel cells compared to the US.
