TOKYO - Competition to develop fuel cells for practical use is intensifying with the coming into effect of the Kyoto Protocol obliging developed countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

Fuel cells are regarded as a source of "clean energy" emitting no harmful gases, a cause of global warming, and in the future could be used for vehicles, mobile phones, personal computers, houses and other things.

The cells generate electricity using hydrogen extracted from methanol and natural gas, and various fuels are used as hydrogen supply sources.

At the 2005 World Exposition to open in Aichi Prefecture in March, an experiment will be carried out for the world's first energy system combining fuel cells with power generated by household kitchen garbage and sunlight.
