Fuel cells offer the potential for a clean and reliable alternative energy power source. They can be deployed as an independent power source, to operate in parallel with the grid, or to complement solar and wind generating systems. This diversity positions the industry as a key contributor to creating an increasingly sustainable landscape for power generation on a broad scale.
-
Increased Efficiency:
When compared to conventional power generation, fuel cells can increase efficiency levels over 50 percent.
-
Fuel Flexible:
Fuel cells can operate on multiple fuels, such as hydrogen, natural gas, propane and methanol.
-
Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
Fuel cells significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, when fueled with pure hydrogen, the only by-products are heat and water, making this a completely sustainable power source.
