What is Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology?
Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an advanced method of generating electricity through a
chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Instead of burning fuel, a hydrogen fuel cell
produces electricity, water, and heat. It is a zero-emission, high-efficiency energy solution used
in transportation, industrial applications, and stationary power generation. This technology is
gaining global attention as a clean alternative to fossil fuels.
How Does It Work?
A hydrogen fuel cell operates similarly to a battery but does not need recharging. Instead, it
continuously produces electricity as long as hydrogen is supplied. The process involves:
- Hydrogen gas (H₂): is fed into the anode of the fuel cell.
- Oxygen (from air): is fed into the cathode.
- Inside the fuel cell, a catalyst splits hydrogen molecules into protons and electrons.
- The electrons travel through an external circuit, generating electricity.
- The protons move through an electrolyte membrane to the cathode, where they
combine with electrons and oxygen to form water (H₂O): the only emission.
How is it Useful?
- Zero Emissions: The only byproducts are water and heat, making it environmentally
friendly.
- High Efficiency: Converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy with minimal
loss.
- Ideal for Heavy-Duty Use: Powers buses, trucks, trains, and ships with long range and
fast refueling.
- Scalable Energy Source: Suitable for portable, mobile, and large-scale energy systems.
- Safe & Reliable: Hydrogen fuel cells are quiet, durable, and safe with proper handling.
