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.

H2SITE has successfully validated the first ammonia cracker to produce high-purity hydrogen for onboard power generation using a PEM fuel cell. An integrated membrane reactor has been installed and operated on board of the BERTHA B supply ship, sailing the shores of the Gulf of Biscay.
Elcogen and Genvia have signed a supply and R&D collaboration agreement, which follows two years of cooperation between the companies and strengthens their collaboration in solid oxide electrolyzer commercialization, enabling them to work towards achieving their goals under the IPCEI programme.
Norwegian fuel cell company TECO 2030 and the Japanese multinational Yokogawa Electric Corporation have announced that they have signed a strategic partnership and investment agreement regarding the development of technology for utilizing hydrogen fuel cells in industrial applications.
EH Group has successfully tested its fuel cell technology in high-temperature PEM mode (HTPEMFC). Its unparalleled design flexibility regarding form-factor and size means that certain materials, such as the membrane, can be modified with relative ease to operate it in either LT or HT fuel cell mode.
China’s first hydrogen-powered ship has made its maiden voyage in Yichang City in central China’s Hubei Province, marking a breakthrough in the country’s application of hydrogen fuel cell technology in inland waterway vessels. Powered by a 500 kW hydrogen fuel cell, the ship has a maximum cruise range of 200 kilometers.
Elcogen has received funding for a EUR 25.4-million project to accelerate the deployment of solid oxide electrolysis technology. The grant funding has been awarded from the Hy2 Tech initiative, part of the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI), to accelerate the production of affordable green hydrogen in Europe.
TECO 2030 and Pherousa Green Shipping (PGS) have signed a supply agreement for up to six Ultramax dry bulk carriers of about 63,000 deadweight tons each. Each vessel will be equipped with 12 MWs of TECO 2030 fuel cells for main propulsion onboard, enabling 100% emission-free operations.
Dutch fuel cell company zepp.solutions has secured a €1.98 million grant from the European Just Transition Fund for the development of an advanced fuel cell systems factory. The facility is set to be established in the Greater Rijnmond region in the Netherlands.
University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers, in collaboration with scientists at Merck & Co., have demonstrated a promising route to environmentally friendlier pharmaceutical drugs production by adapting hydrogen fuel cell technology to make chemicals rather than electricity.
Schaeffler has developed a new generation of metallic bipolar plates featuring a novel design optimized for large-series production and an innovative coating system. Fuel cell stacks incorporating these new plates can achieve a power density about 20% greater than those using previous-generation plates.
