Hydrogen Fuel CellsHydrogen fuel cells consume hydrogen and air to produce electricity and water , which are the cornerstone for a greener and more sustainable future . The key issue in achieving large-scale commercialisation of this technology is cost reduction . |
Competitive Advantage • Zero CO2 emission technology
• In-house expertise across all scientific and engineering requirements to design and test a stack
• Low-cost , earth-abundant non-precious metal electrodes
Impact • Accelerating the commercialisation of low-cost hydrogen fuel cells
• Enhancing the performance of hydrogen fuel cells improves durability and efficiency
Successful Applications |
