AFC Energy
We’re a UK-based team of energy-tech pioneers on a mission to replace polluting fossil fuel generation with hydrogen fuel cells - helping off-grid operators around the world deliver their net zero commitments. We provide a flexible range of hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen carrier fuel conversion technologies for organisations in need of affordable, flexible, clean off-grid power, such as those in construction, electric vehicle charging, shipping and data centres. Today it’s the burning of fossil fuels that is powering most off-grid operations. This results in thousands of tonnes of climate damaging compounds being emitted into the atmosphere. We are changing that. Hydrogen fuel cells are here today. They have a bright future and will play an important role in tackling climate change.

Our Story
We’re AFC Energy, a team of energy-tech pioneers on a mission to replace fossil fuel generation with hydrogen fuel cells. For over a decade we’ve been using our engineering knowhow, technology patents and shared vision to develop clean energy technology.
We’ve been busy designing, building, testing and refining our fuel cell technology. Generations of working prototypes, each one a technical improvement on the previous, has lead us to the latest range of efficient electro-chemical technologies – we’ve come a long way.
We’re based at Dunsfold Aerodrome, historically home to pioneering organisations including British Aerospace. A perfect location for our base that includes offices, research, testing and manufacturing centres.
We’re proud to be a public limited company in the important and fast growing 'green tech' sector with a strong emphasis on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). We’re grateful to have a broad range of investors, supporters and partners who share our belief in a hydrogen future.
The path to this future is not a straight line though. With ambition, team-work and innovation we are making progress for our customers, our planet and our shareholders. We do this by bringing great solutions for our end users.
Our Vision
Our vision is a sustainable one. It’s about helping to create a world where power no longer comes from using fossil fuels. A world full of green technology including electric vehicles, renewable generation, battery storage and of course hydrogen fuel cells. But technology needs markets and infrastructure. The hydrogen economy is here and growing fast.
Our Purpose
We're on a mission to replace fossil fuel generation with hydrogen fuel cells.
Our Strategy
Our strategy is about developing great products and solutions that deliver affordable, flexible and clean energy. We are developing partnerships, technology and a winning team to thrive in this important and fast growing industry.
Why AFC Energy
Affordable. Flexible. Clean – it’s in our name.
We believe in customer choice, which means getting the right balance between the three benefits of affordability, flexibility, and cleanliness. We’re creating a hydrogen future where these are not trade-offs.
Affordable
Keeping the total cost of ownership down
We know for customers it’s the total cost of ownership that really matters. So this is where we focus, our ‘all in’ end to end solution keeps this overall cost down.
Lower cost fuels
We are developing fuel cells that don’t just run on hydrogen, they work with hydrogen carrier fuels ammonia and methanol as well. The carrier fuels can lower the cost of fuel, storage and transportation.
Efficient fit-for-purpose systems
Our modular fuel cell units have their capacity and flexibility designed specifically for how the power will be used. This keeps fuel and running costs down.
Flexible
Product flexibility
We have a range of products and services to suit a variety of applications, our modular plug and play technology products offer flexibility and choice.
Technology flexibility
We offer a range of technologies, configurations and capacities suited for a selection of industrial applications.
Fuel flexibility
We’re offering fuel cells that can be run on hydrogen or hydrogen carrier fuels ammonia and methanol. Fuel flexibility delivers value and helps resilience as we bridge to a hydrogen economy.
Clean
Reduced emissions
Our technology products help organisations on their path to net zero. Fuel cells also reduces local air pollution and runs a lot quieter than diesel generators.
Sustainable fuels
We can source and deliver hydrogen or hydrogen carrier fuels from a range of sources and arrange on-site storage for you.
Cleaner end to end
We put sustainability at the heart of our business, but there's more that can be, and will be, done.
