A fuel cell to light a ski resort

The fuel cell made it possible to supply electricity without any emissions polluting this totally isolated site.

Air Liquide’s subsidiary, AXANE, in partnership with EDF, helped light up a loop of a cross-country ski trail by installing nonpolluting technologies that fit perfectly into the environment. AXANE made available a 2.5 kW fuel cell.

The use of a fuel cell supplied with hydrogen is a clean alternative for producing electricity on isolated sites of the network. This technology has already been used to supply mobile telephone relay stations.
