Fuel Cells

IDTechEx Chairman Dr Peter Harrop gives an overview of the Microgrid Global Innovation Forum

PowerCell Sweden AB has signed a Nordic cooperation agreement with Soltech Group regarding a joint development of stationary energy solutions based on the two companies' products within fuel cells and solar energy.

There are 44 retail hydrogen re-fuelling stations for fuel cells in the US, compared with over 87,000 for battery and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. 42 of these stations are in California. This article explores why.

Siemens Energy, lead contractor for the construction of National Grid's Viking Link interconnector project in Lincolnshire, has installed a zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell to provide off grid power to the project's construction site for the first time.

IDTechEx predicted ten years ago that fuel cell cars would be a failure and, on any criterion, that is true today following lacklustre sales due to no meaningful consumer proposition and consequently numerous supplier exits.

New research suggests that graphene could be used to make more durable hydrogen fuel cells for cars.

Passive components like resistors, inductors, and capacitors influence the flow of power but do not require an external power source to function. Capacitors are electrostatic components with capacity measured in farads. One farad stores one coulomb of electrical charge when applying one volt.

Investments are being made in new state-of-the-art facilities covering every single process stage of fuel cell production: from membrane coating and stack manufacturing to the production of fuel cell units.

The purpose of this article is to provide a reference document on the current state of official and unofficial fossil fuel bans driving uptake of electric vehicles.

Electrification of the transportation sector — one of the largest consumers of energy in the world — is critical to future energy and environmental resilience. Electrification of this sector will require high-power fuel cells to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles, from cars and trucks to boats and airplanes.
