What is a Fuel Cell?
A fuel cell is a device that uses fuel and oxygen (typically from the air) to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity using an electrochemical process. Fuel cells offer many benefits over traditional batteries or generators, including increased efficiencies, longer run times, lighter weights, reduced emissions and reduced noise.
Protonex is an industry leader in both proton exchange membrane (PEM) and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technologies. In addition, the Company has developed a series of reformers and desulfurizers to process methanol, propane, diesel and other conventional fuels into hydrogen-rich fuel that can by used by fuel cell systems to generate power. Protonex’ unique ability to provide specific power solutions based on each of these technologies has set Protonex ahead of other fuel cell companies and has dramatically increased the number of markets that can benefit from these products.
