INSPIRATION
Hydrogen fuel cells provide instantaneous power generation and also aid in demand response.The latter is especially relevant as hydrogen bridges the gap between fluctuations in power generation for renewable energy systems (RES) and a grid powered solely by renewables. Hydrogen fuel cells solve demand response problems by acting as a power source as well as reserve energy for months. Fuel cells are also in use for marine, land, and aviation operations, as well as in ships,trains, planes, drones, cars, trucks, and buses. In particular,heavy industrial vehicles become the primary focal point in the hydrogen economy because of their considerable contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
Australian startup H2X designs and develops hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles. Snowy SUV is their consumer car solution that utilizes both hydrogen fuel cell technology and battery-electric technology, achieving zero-emissions mobility. The car requires only 5 minutes for refueling and also provides a range of 650 km per refill. Furthermore, the car comes with an antimicrobial finish on all regular touch surfaces, ensuring additional safety for all occupants. H2X also develops hydrogen fuel cell vans and heavy industrial vehicles.
US-based startup BWR Innovations provides portable hydrogen fuel cell solutions. Sol Source SFC110 Fuel Cell Generator is BWR Innovations’ fuel cell-powered sanitization product.It is a portable fuel cell generator and heater that inactivates a variety of biological contaminants, including viruses, bacteria,
parasites, and fungi. The device disinfects rooms of up to 600 sq. ft without leaving residual chemicals or toxins. This allows for emission-free sanitization of facilities and equipment, including medical personal protective equipment (PPE). Users also monitor the products from their computers or mobile
devices.
