Advancements in zero-emission fuel cells could make the technology cheap enough to replace traditional gasoline engines in vehicles, according to researchers at the University of Waterloo.

Systems design engineering professor Keith Hipel is one of five Canadian scholars and scientists named winners of the 2019 Killam Prize.

Awarded by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Killam Prize recognizes the career achievements of eminent Canadians actively engaged in research in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, and engineering. 

Seven research collaborations between the University of Waterloo and institutions around the world will receive funding to collaborate on projects ranging from access to energy in underserved communities and exploring cold region ecohydrogeology to testing new bacterial toxins.

Funded by Waterloo (up to $20,000 per project based on equal cash contributions from partners), the projects will involve more than 40 researchers at Waterloo and colleagues in Germany, China, France, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, Argentina and the United States.
