Gain confidence knowing you have prepared your fuel cell power systems for new markets with rigorous testing

Did You Know?

  • Working against a goal of reducing emission of carbon dioxide by more than 80 percent by 2050, Europe—led by Germany and the UK—is one of the fastest growing regions in fuel cell technology.
  • Thanks to their ability to generate electricity using a variety of fuels, fuel cells are one of the fastest growing alternative power storage options. The global market is projected to expand at an estimated CAGR of 20.9 percent through 2025.

Fuel cell systems offer mobility, convenience, and a clean, efficient source of energy that make them in high demand all over the world. From homes and commercial facilities, to backup power supply for critical infrastructure like telecommunication systems and hospitals, the demand for fuel cell systems is increasing.
