A commercially working cell in Japan called Eni-Farm is supported by the regional government, using natural gas to power up the fuel cell that then produces electricity and heated water. In 2013, 64% of global sales of the micro-combined heat and power fuel cell passed the conventional mechanical rotary systems in sales in 2012. [8]
Stationary fuel-cell applications (or stationary fuel-cell power systems) are applications for fuel cells that are either connected to the electric grid (distributed generation) to provide supplemental power and as emergency power system for critical areas, or installed as a grid-independent generator for on-site service.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device. Fuel cells differ from batteries in that they are designed for continuous replenishment of the reactants consumed. This is a partial list of companies currently producing commercially available fuel cell systems for use in residential, commercial, or industrial settings.
A deployment of Bloom Energy Servers outside eBay headquarters. The Bloom Energy Server or Bloom Box is a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power generator made by Bloom Energy, of Sunnyvale, California, that takes a variety of input fuels, including liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons [1] produced from biological sources, to produce electricity at or near the site where it will be used.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Fuel Cell Technology Program states that, as of 2011, fuel cells achieved 53–59% efficiency at one-quarter power and 42–53% vehicle efficiency at full power, [111] and a durability of over 120,000 km (75,000 miles) with less than 10% degradation. [112]
It designs, manufactures, operates and services Direct Fuel Cell power plants, which is a type of molten carbonate fuel cell. As one of the biggest publicly traded fuel cell manufacturers in the U.S., [3] the company provides clean energy in over 50 locations all over the world. [4]
Ballard Power Systems Inc. is a developer and manufacturer of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell products for markets such as heavy-duty motive (consisting of bus and tram applications), portable power, material handling as well as engineering services. Ballard has designed and shipped over 400 MW of fuel cell products to date.
This is a list of fuel cell vehicles (FCV), or fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), that use a fuel cell to power an electric drive system. For Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles (HICEV) see the List of hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles .
