Fuel Cells
Powering the industries that keep the world running with clean and reliable technologies.
Fueling the change
Our fuel cell portfolio includes hydrogen proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) for both mobility and stationary applications and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for stationary power supply. Without sacrificing power or performance, our fuel cell systems generate electricity through a chemical reaction. When hydrogen fuel mixes with atmospheric oxygen as it passes through a fuel cell stack, producing zero-emissions electricity to power a motor. Water and heat are the only by-product of hydrogen fuel cell power.
Advantages of fuel cell technology
Fuel cells can be integrated into a wide range of applications and provide sustainable power advantages across multiple sectors, including transportation and power grids.
Decarbonized power
When fueled with hydrogen generated from renewable energy, such as solar, wind or hydropower, fuel cells produce zero tailpipe emissions.
Free of NOx emissions
All internal combustion engines (ICE), even the most fuel efficient, emit nitrous oxide related to the combustion process. Combustion does not occur in a hydrogen fuel cell power module, thus produces no NOx emissions.
Higher energy efficiency
Because they convert chemical potential energy directly into electricity, fuel cells avoid thermal bottlenecks as the process is more efficient without the need to further process and convert stored energy.
Fast, familiar fueling
Refueling a fuel cell power module with hydrogen is similar to refueling a diesel engine vehicle. Instead of a diesel pump, a hydrogen pump is used to ‘fill up’ the hydrogen fuel tank.
Better for the environment
With water and steam being the only byproduct, PEM fuel cells won’t pollute the air with emissions.
Reduced maintenance
Fuel cells have fewer moving parts that are necessary to keep running at optimal performance compared to traditional combustion engines. Less parts needing upkeep = less overall maintenance required.
Fuel Cell Applications
Innovative fuel cell technology delivering decarbonized power for applications that keep the world running.
