Fuel Cells

Hexagon Purus and Ballard Power Systems have formed a new collaboration to produce Class 6 & 7 Fuel Cell Electric Trucks powered by Hexagon Purus' turnkey electric drivetrain and hydrogen storage system solutions and Ballard's fuel cell module.

Over one hundred years ago, hydrogen-filled Zeppelins and British R100s were thought to be key to air travel but horrific flaming crashes ended that.

To demonstrate progress with its national hydrogen strategy, the UK Government launched the Tees Valley Hydrogen Hub, and initiated the Hydrogen Transport Hub Demonstration competition to showcase real-world hydrogen transport technology solutions.

In this article, IDTechEx explores the role of the gas diffusion layer in PEM fuel cells, with further details on the supply chain, market shares and expected demand to 2030.

The Mayor of London has launched England's first ever hydrogen double decker buses, marking another major step towards making the bus fleet zero-emission and cleaning up London's toxic air.

Jaguar Land Rover is developing a prototype hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle based on the new Land Rover Defender, with testing scheduled to begin this year.

PEUGEOT has become one of the first manufacturers to offer in series production, from 2021 onwards, in the compact utility van segment, in addition to its combustion and battery electric models, an electric version powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.

PowerCell Sweden AB is now presenting PowerCellution Marine System 200, an industrialized high-power fuel cell module with low weight and a compact format, especially developed for the electrification of marine applications.

The system is set up like a typical microbial fuel cell, a bacterial battery that uses electrochemically active bacteria as a catalyst where a traditional fuel cell would use platinum. In this type of system, the bacteria are attached to the electrode. When wastewater is pumped into the anode, the bacteria "eat" the organic materials and release electrons, creating electricity.
