Fuel cell vehicles and power generation equipment will rely on hydrogen reforming, tanking and refueling. "Getting to the goal will require an intense research effort," said Steve Arwood, NextEnergy's COO. "The president's remarks and early details on this program are an important boost to the alternative energy industry."
NextEnergy is confident that Michigan manufacturers and institutions will be leading innovators of this new industry. NextEnergy recently issued a call for proposals to Michigan colleges and universities for the development of education curriculum focusing on alternative energy. Industry growth will cause a demand for engineers and technically trained individuals. NextEnergy's goal is to have Michigan institutions awarding degrees and technical certifications by 2005.
NextEnergy is a non-profit corporation founded in October 2002. It is located in the Wayne State University Research and Technology Park and has been designated an Alternative Energy Renaissance Zone by the City of Detroit and offers up to 20-year state and local tax exemptions for companies that locate and perform alternative energy research, development and manufacturing.
NextEnergy dedicated the site for its new 40,000 square-foot facility in December of 2002.
