On-site hydrogen generation for transportation and materials
SAFCell hydrogen generation solutions enable the on-site conversion of readily-available liquid feedstocks such as ammonia into hydrogen at fueling stations. For large vehicles such as heavy duty trucks, trains and ships, SAFCell hydrogen generators could provide on-board hydrogen generation from liquid fuels, enabling the use of clean fuels
Benefits of solid acid fuel cells | SAFCell
SAFCell fuel cell stacks can operate on a number of different fuels. Unlike cold fuel cells, our fuel cell stacks are tolerant of impurities. We can operate on industrial grade fuels such as methanol and propane – we don''t require ultra-pure fuel sources. We can also utilize the same fuels as hot fuel cells and combustion-based generators.
