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.

In a bid to contribute to the economically viable production of electrolyzers and fuel cells, Fraunhofer IWU has designed Reference-factory.H2. The concept provides both a design for guidance and a modular system based on new and specifically optimized technologies.
Alstom and ENGIE have signed a partnership agreement to offer the rail freight sector a solution for the decarbonisation of mainline operations by replacing diesel-powered locomotives with hydrogen versions. The target market is the major European rail freight countries.
The Research Council of Norway is investing more than €20 million in HYDROGENi, a new centre for environment-friendly energy research (FME) dedicated to hydrogen and ammonia. The centre has enlisted a strong cluster of over 50 industrial and academic partners.
A new high-temperature polymer fuel cell that operates at 80–160°C, with a higher-rated power density than state-of-the-art fuel cells, solves the long-standing problem of overheating, a significant technical barrier to using medium-and heavy-duty fuel cells in transportation vehicles.
Accelerated stress testing of the next-generation membrane electrode assembly (MEA) currently being developed by Advent Technologies Holdings has confirmed the potential for significant improvement in lifetime as well as for power density increase compared to current HT-PEM MEAs.
The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has launched its first call for proposals through which it will support projects that boost renewable hydrogen production, reduce its costs, develop storage and distribution solutions, and stimulate the use of low-carbon hydrogen in hard-to-abate sectors.
Faurecia, part of Group FORVIA – the world’s 7th largest automotive technology company, has been selected to equip a Bavarian fleet of heavy-duty trucks provided by MAN with complete hydrogen storage systems, as part of a state-supported fuel cell research project.
ABB and Ballard have received an approval in principle (AiP) from DNV for their high-power fuel cell concept. The high-power fuel cell unit is a flexible solution that will support the energy needs of a diverse range of vessels requiring multiple 3 MW blocks of power.
Ballard Power Systems has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Adani Group to evaluate a joint investment case for the commercialization of fuel cells in India. Potential collaboration includes fuel cell manufacturing in India.
In a bid to commercialise the use of solid-oxide fuel cells at sea by 2025, Doosan Fuel Cell, Shell and KSOE are joining forces and plan to operate a vessel equipped with a 600 kW SOFC system as an auxiliary power unit on actual shipping routes for more than a year.
