The world faces many challenges in producing electricity and heat through clean, efficient and reliable means. H2e’s business model is to become SOFC Industry platform for power generation system manufacturers in India.

Why SOFC technology is the future?

Fuel cells in particular have the potential to reshape how the world is powered, allowing efficient, clean, and reliable off grid energy generation. They can help us sharply reduce our use of polluting fuels, moving from coal to cleaner fuel sources, and eventually to renewably generated hydrogen. This could dramatically reduce the world’s fossil fuel use and associated emissions. The implications are huge for power distribution, for energy bills, and most importantly for the environment.

SOFCs are already finding wide ranging applications: delivering environmental and economic benefits within transport, industrial equipment, cooling, power, disaster relief and similar applications where grid power is not available.

SOFC Market Potential

The fuel cell market has huge potential. Statistics MRC estimate the overall fuel cell market to be worth around €23bn in 2024/258 (Fuel Cell Market Size – Industry Forecast Report, 2014 (2016), published by Global Market Insight Inc) with SOFC market valued at $2.6 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach $4.9 billion by 2022. Global Market Insights put the market at $25.5 billion and SOFCs at $3 billion by 2024 (https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/fuel-cell-market). These are promising numbers, which suggest an industry on the verge of a commercial breakthrough.

In theory it is largely possible that SOFC systems can produce electricity and heat in our homes and commercially. Although for the time being, due to high operating temperatures, fuel cell technology ceases to be cost efficient. The high cost of SOFC technology limits adoption to subsidised applications, or where the need for reliable clean power trumps cost drivers. But the potential is there. In order to achieve the holy trinity of unit cost, efficiency, and durability, the challenge that now remains is to bring down the high costs by lowering the operating temperatures of the SOFC systems down to 700°C.

Innovative designs that allow the decrease in operating temperatures will most definitely improve costs, efficiency and durability. At h2e, it is our mission to create systems that are commercially viable without subsidies. We aim to create SOFC systems that are profitable for manufacturers and deliver a ROI for consumer and businesses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

F.A.Q.
In principle, fuel cells could power anything that requires electrical energy to function. This could range from a mobile phone up to a city. Current commercial applications include off-grid power for telecom stations; back-up power for buildings; drives for forklift trucks; residential heat and power; portable generators, recharging devices, and electric vehicles. Megawatt-size fuel cell power plants could supply power to industrial plants and cities.
A battery chemically stores and releases electricity, while a fuel cell produces energy through the electrochemical reaction of a fuel and air. A battery will run out of power and require recharging, then disposal. A fuel cell, however, will continue to function and produce power as long as fuel and oxygen are supplied.
The h2e® fuel cell system is a generator that converts gaseous hydrocarbon fuels (e.g. PNG/CNG) into electricity. The process is quieter, more efficient, and cleaner than conventional, engine-driven generators.
The h2e® fuel cell system is fuel flexible and can use a variety of fuels such as natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, methane, and hydrogen. Energy from landfills, biomass, coal, wood, and agricultural waste can also be used to create the fuel. Because they function on such diverse input, fuel cells are a logical choice to transition from current combustion-based technologies to renewable energy sources.
The h2e® fuel cell system can be used for stationary applications to fulfil the heat and power demands of the Residential, Commercial, and Agricultural sectors.
The h2e® fuel cell system is equipped with a ceramic SOFC, based on patented Fraunhofer technology. Using a process called catalytic partial oxidation, hydrocarbon fuels like PNG, CNG & LPG can be converted into a hydrogen-rich fuel gas. This fuel gas is directly converted into electricity in the SOFC fuel cell.
The SOFC is the simplest fuel cell technology as it does not require extremely pure fuels such as hydrogen, unlike other fuel cells. It is also the most inexpensive fuel cell because it does not contain noble metals, e.g. platinum. The active part of the SOFC can be as hot as 830°C. High-performance ceramic insulation, however, reduces the temperature on the outside to hand-hot. A patented, internal heat-recovery system makes sure that heat losses from the system are reduced to a minimum, which means a low exhaust gas temperature just like on other fuel cells.
The h2e® has no moving parts and requires little maintenance. A majority of the system components are maintenance-free and a few components that require maintenance have long maintenance intervals. The h2e® is assembled with DIN modules to reduce the time required for the repair and maintenance.
The h2e® fuel cell system can be operated with PNG, CNG, and Biogas, which is conveniently available everywhere around the world. Proprietary cartridges with potentially hazardous fuels are not necessary. At the same time, the system is small and lightweight since there is no need for water management. As the system runs completely without water it can easily be started and operated even during freezing conditions.
Yes. It is possible to purchase a fuel cell as a power source instead of a battery or diesel generator, for instance. The price of the system will be very competitive in comparison to similar fuel cell systems of the same power range. The cost of fuel, however, will be much lower than with proprietary solutions, as it uses commonly used fuels available almost everywhere at a low cost.
The h2e® fuel cell system currently undergoing an intensive test and evaluation phase to ensure the best possible user experience. Kindly contact us for more details.
