Hydrogen Energy Technology that delivers on demand fuel at a sustainable cost.

The design and build team of our Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (“SOFC”) has a proven background, boasting extensive experience in the new energy technology sector and the hydrogen fuel industry. We are working extensively to deliver a competitive Hydrogen fuel cell from design through to production & into the market. Hydrogen Solutions team’s “DNA” in SOFC Tech goes back three decades.

The bulk of the HS team was involved in the first commercial SOFC with the Australian Government’s CSIRO (now used by Solid Power in Italy, and considered a SOFC benchmark today). Our current development greatly benefits from this background. Much was learned prior in real-time development to perfect our current SOFC. The work of the past and the knowledge gained empowered us to deliver this Next Generation Design, offering benefits, efficiencies, and progress on all levels.

The Hydrogen Solutions LTD SOFC uses electrochemical conversion to produce electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Our process is characterized by the quality of the electrolyte material, the durability of the seal, and superior fuel distribution.

Advantages of our fuel cell include:

• High combined heat and power efficiency as tested in our 35-layered stack generating 500 watts.
• Long-term stability
• Fuel flexibility – can run on fuels such as natural gas, biogas, and coal gas, as well as hydrogen.
• Zero or low emissions, depending on the fuel source, and at a relatively low cost.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (“SOFCs”) are considered a breakthrough technology. They are pivotal in meeting tomorrow’s clean energy needs as they generate power through an electrochemical reaction within the fuel stack rather than through combustion as with fossil fuels.

SOFCs can run off multiple fuel sources – typically natural gas, renewable gas, or hydrogen. When powered by natural gas the CO2 emissions will typically be 50% less than with the traditional grid. When powered by renewable gas, power generation is carbon neutral, and when by hydrogen the emissions are zero.

Importantly, SOFCs are modular in design and easily transportable, meaning that they can realistically play a critical role in the process of creating the distributed energy grid of the future. This transition from a centralised grid to a decentralised one where traditional power users can effectively become suppliers, for example, by better harnessing their waste heat and converting it to energy through an SOFC. This is viewed as a central building block and major game changer for meeting tomorrow’s future clean energy needs.

SOFCs can also play a critical role in meeting the world’s future clean energy transport needs with hydrogen-powered vehicles already being a reality today.

In fact, SOFCs have the ability to provide an always-ready backup power source both for industry and utilities in the event of a critical power failure. SOFCs represent an essential building block in creating tomorrow’s clean energy world and in its ongoing lifespan.
