Hydrogen fuel cells are electrochemical devices used to convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into electrical energy, releasing heat in the process while producing water as the only by-product of the electrochemical reactions. There are several types of hydrogen fuel cells, including alkaline, proton exchange membrane (PEM), phosphoric acid, and solid oxide fuel cells. These technologies differ in numerous ways, most notably in the component materials used to support the electrochemical process. In this section you can find news items related to various aspects of fuel cell technologies.

ABB and Ballard have received an approval in principle (AiP) from DNV for their high-power fuel cell concept. The high-power fuel cell unit is a flexible solution that will support the energy needs of a diverse range of vessels requiring multiple 3 MW blocks of power.
Ballard Power Systems has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Adani Group to evaluate a joint investment case for the commercialization of fuel cells in India. Potential collaboration includes fuel cell manufacturing in India.
In a bid to commercialise the use of solid-oxide fuel cells at sea by 2025, Doosan Fuel Cell, Shell and KSOE are joining forces and plan to operate a vessel equipped with a 600 kW SOFC system as an auxiliary power unit on actual shipping routes for more than a year.
A new business called Refhuel has been established in Israel to focus on developing a reversible fuel cell based on a pioneering proprietary hydrogen carrier technology that will enable efficient storage and production of energy, with development work already underway.
The system tested by Innova AS and Teledyne Energy Systems Inc. was designed to provide the offshore oil and gas community with an environmentally responsible backup power alternative for failing umbilical power sources as well as untethered power for greenfield development or brownfield sustainment.
The coordinated European development project Camelot aims to produce a new generation of high-performance membrane electrode assemblies (MEA), a central component in a fuel cell that is essential for its service life, power production and efficiency.
Norwegian-based Kongsberg Maritime has successfully tested and verified a full-scale, full-size, zero-emissions drivetrain powered by hydrogen fuel cells designed for ships and ferries.
Plug Power has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Frames Group. Headquartered in the Netherlands, Frames has about 300 employees located largely in Europe and India.
Canadian innovator Hybrid Energy Inc. has produced a hydrogen fuel cell-focused technology which leverages the advantages of battery-electric vehicles while eliminating the downfalls of the battery’s size and weight and its impractically long recharge times.
Rolls-Royce and cellcentric, a joint venture company set up by Daimler Truck AG and Volvo Group AB, are taking the next step in their strategic cooperation for the deployment of cellcentric hydrogen fuel cell modules.
