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.
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.
HORIBA has expanded its range of fuel cell test stations with the introduction of the C05-LT, a compact 100 W benchtop system designed for single-cell PEM fuel cell testing.
Toyota has developed a new fuel cell (FC) system, its third-generation fuel cell system (3rd Gen FC System), designed to meet the particular needs of the commercial sector with the same durability as conventional diesel-powered engines.
Ballard Power Systems has announced the signing of a multi-year supply agreement with Stadler US to supply 8 MW of FCmove®-HD+ fuel cell engines to power trains for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
EH Group has launched its EH-TRACE M-250-kW fuel cell system, developed for high-power stationary applications such as data centres, microgrids, and back-up power. The system also meets the power needs and safety standards of the maritime sector and has already secured Approval in Principle from DNV.
Finnish technology company Proventia is partnering with UK-based fuel cell developer and manufacturer Intelligent Energy to supply new testing facilities for their high-power products. These laboratories will be located at Chelveston Renewable Energy Park in Northamptonshire, UK, with delivery scheduled for early 2025.
Cell Impact has signed a collaboration agreement with ANDRITZ to advance large-scale, high-speed production of bipolar flow plates for fuel cells and electrolyzers. The centerpiece of this partnership is ANDRITZ’s development of the world’s fastest and most productive welding machine for this application.
Hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer Hyzon has announced the start of production (SOP) of its single-stack 200-kW fuel cell system (FCS) at its facility in Bolingbrook, Illionois, USA. This enables the company to manufacture standardized FCSs at volume for commercial sale, further accelerating the decarbonization of heavy-duty industries.
The Slovenian start-up ReCatalyst and the German spin-off company ionysis GmbH are collaborating on the development of next-generation fuel cells as part of the ENABLER project, funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC). The companies have now made significant progress in their technical development.
