Its applications [ Return towards  The fuel cell  ]

The first applications of the fuel cell that could emerge will are “stationary” applications: the production of electricity on a site that is not connected to the traditional power network.

There are already applications for which hydrogen, paired with the fuel cell, can supply clean and silent energy. These applications can be developed very quickly by using existing hydrogen distribution logistics.

Cleanness, reliability, autonomy, ease of use are some of the qualities of the fuel cell for uses such as:

Supplying energy for stationary applications

This means supplying isolated sites, far from any source of electricity. For example, the telecommunication antennas that send signals to mobile phones.

Supplying mobile energy

This means making energy available when it is needed, where it is needed. For example: supplying electricity right where firefighters and doctors are working to provide emergency medical aid.

Supplying backup energy

This means permanently guaranteeing the availability of electricity to protect sensitive sites, by replacing the traditional electricity network in the event of problems. For example: backup electricity in hospitals or computer data centers.
