FuelCellsEtc – Spin-out or Sale response
There has been some question about whether FuelCellsEtc was a “Spin-out” or an “Acquisition” (see Fuel Cell Nations post). I confess, this is largely due to my own inconsistencies in terminology. So here’s the skinny: FuelCellsEtc licensed (exclusively) all of the technology, process, etc of the Commercial Fuel Cell Components Division (CFCC) at Lynntech. We ...

How Many Cells do I Need in my Fuel Cell? (Simple Fuel Cell Design Guide)
As with Electrolyzers on my previous post, there are many nuances in the optimal design of a Fuel Cell. The proper selection depends on the application, type of fuel cell, component selection and design (MEAs, flow fields, etc.) and a host of other factors. However, I will start with a simple tool that will help determine some general characteristics of a typical H2/Air fuel cell. Thanks to ...

Fuel Cell Voltage Monitoring Considerations
Knowing what’s happening inside a fuel cell is a critical function, especially as fuel cells are continuing to be developed. One important aspect of this is to measure the voltageof each cell in a stack. Although this may sound trivial, it can be more complex and more expensive than it may at first appear due to high voltages, high channel counts,communication types, etc. There are a few ...

South Africa`s fuel cell plan risks failure without support
An ambitious strategy to create fuel cell products for export will need incentives and cross-government backing to bear fruit, says Radhika Perrot. South Africa's Department of Science & Technology (DST) has been laboriously pushing for the development of hydrogen fuel-cell technology through an ambitious research and development (R&D) strategy since 2005. Fuel cells can convert the ...

Producing Green Hydrogen with Renewable Electricity
Hydrogen is an essential component of fuel cells. Sure, we all know that. However, did you know that all types of the gas are not created equally? Green hydrogen has gained a lot of momentum in renewable circles today. Hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water. The process involves passing an electric current through water (under regulated conditions) to break its chemical composition. A ...
