Hydrogen fuel cells are electrochemical devices used to convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into electrical energy, releasing heat in the process while producing water as the only by-product of the electrochemical reactions. There are several types of hydrogen fuel cells, including alkaline, proton exchange membrane (PEM), phosphoric acid, and solid oxide fuel cells. These technologies differ in numerous ways, most notably in the component materials used to support the electrochemical process. In this section you can find news items related to various aspects of fuel cell technologies. If you would like to see your news release published here and in our email newsletter, please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
The Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) has inaugurated Merce Lab, a pilot manufacturing line designed to produce complete solid oxide cell (SOC) modules using 3D printing for both fuel cell and electrolyzer applications in the renewable hydrogen sector.
Hyundai Motor Company has signed an MoU with HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering and Pusan National University to co-develop a maritime fuel cell system for future liquefied hydrogen carriers.
Bosch has commissioned its first in-house electrolyzer at its Bamberg site, integrating two Hybrion proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis stacks as part of a new hydrogen demonstration landscape.
BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions (ECMS) has opened a new production facility for green hydrogen and fuel cell components in Budenheim, near Frankfurt, Germany.
Ceres has licensed its solid oxide fuel cell technology to Weichai Power, which will establish a manufacturing facility in China to supply stationary power markets.
Laufenberg and Wevo-Chemie have developed a process that enables the continuous, roll-to-roll production of flat elastomer gaskets for fuel cells, electrolysers, and redox flow batteries. The innovation replaces time- and cost-intensive moulding methods with a scalable, automated approach that increases manufacturing efficiency.
Elcogen has officially opened ELCO I, its new manufacturing facility for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) on the outskirts of Tallinn, Estonia. The 14,000 m² site increases the company’s available production capacity from 10 MW to 360 MW.
Doosan Fuel Cell has commenced mass production of fuel cell stacks and power systems based on Ceres Power’s solid oxide technology. The systems are being manufactured at Doosan’s dedicated facility in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, with an annual output of fuel cell systems capable of generating 50 MW of electricity.
Stellantis has announced the discontinuation of its hydrogen fuel cell technology development programme, bringing an end to its planned launch of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles under the Pro One brand. Serial production was scheduled to start this summer in Hordain, France, and Gliwice, Poland.
Siltrax has achieved a new industry benchmark for volumetric and gravimetric power densities in hydrogen fuel cells. Independent testing by TÜV Rheinland verified that the Australian company’s proprietary 150 kW G-100 fuel cell delivered 9.77 kW/L volumetric and 9.7 kW/kg gravimetric power density – figures that surpass previously known records.
