Area of Interest 2: Accuracy status
Area of Interest 3: Market demand and availability
All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment (in Microsoft Word or PDF format) to an e-mail message addressed to h2meters@go.doe.gov. Please specify the Area of Interest in your response and submit separate responses for each Area of Interest addressed, and include the name of the organization responding. The response should be limited to two (2) pages; however, the Fuel Cell Technologies Program encourages respondents to include references, tables and figures, which will not count toward the two-page limit.
