Why Fuel Cells

Proven Technology. Reliable Power.

Plug’s proven PEM fuel cell technology delivers reliable, efficient and scalable power for demanding commercial operations. Unlike batteries, fuel cells generate electricity continuously as long as hydrogen is supplied, reducing downtime associated with recharging.

By converting hydrogen and oxygen directly into electricity without combustion, Plug’s integrated fuel cell systems deliver dependable power, producing only water and heat as by-products.

Reliable

Fuel cells provide consistent electrical output and can operate continuously with an available hydrogen supply.

Fast to Refuel

Hydrogen can be replenished quickly, avoiding lengthy charging cycles and helping keep power available when it is needed.

Scalable

Fuel cell stacks can be configured into larger systems to meet a wide range of power requirements.

Proven

PEM fuel cells are commercially deployed technology built for applications where uptime, performance and reliability matter.

Fuel Cells vs. Batteries

Batteries store energy. Fuel cells generate it.

That fundamental difference influences how power systems are designed, operated and maintained. While batteries require recharging, hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity as long as fuel is supplied, offering an alternative for applications with demanding power and runtime requirements.

The economics extend beyond initial equipment costs. Charging infrastructure, energy storage capacity, system maintenance, fuel supply and operational requirements all influence total cost of ownership. Depending on the application, hydrogen fuel cells can offer a reliable, scalable and cost-effective alternative to battery-based systems.
