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.
Sridhar and his team built an electrochemical cell for NASA capable of producing air and fuel from electricity generated by a solar panel. In 2011, Bloom was valued at $2.9 billion. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Initially, the company produced about one fuel cell appliance per day [ 10 ] before opening a factory in Newark, Delaware in April 2012. [ 11 ]
The company today has fuel cell projects that run on natural gas and renewable biogas. The company’s products can produce hydrogen in addition to power and thermal attributes. Additionally, the company has capabilities for fuel cell-based carbon capture, long-duration energy storage and solid-oxide based electrolysis. [25]

On February 1, 2008, Ballard spun out Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation (AFCC) [3] to allow for further expansion of fuel cell technology. [4] [5] After the split, Ballard continued as a publicly traded company focusing on non-automotive applications (including buses), while AFCC became a privately held company of 150 employees, developing hydrogen fuel cell stacks for automobiles.

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.
