Scalable from small portable units, right up to grid-connected power stations, fuel cells represent a growing clean growth opportunity. Fuel cells are the cleanest possible technology for dependable and reliable electricity generation. With one of the longest running hydrogen technology R&D programmes in the world – and the longest UK SOFC programme – delivery of off-grid, portable and mobile power solutions is a core strength.

Crucially, Adelan’s quiet, compact and efficient fuel cells use commonly available infrastructure fuels such as LPG and act as a technological stepping stone towards the low-carbon and clean hydrogen economy of the future. Accelerating commercial product development through component and system cost reduction, Adelan develops and optimises mSOFC technology – from materials to design specifications.

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology specific performance depends on the system and application, but there are general criteria that make Adelan mSOFCs especially competitive:

• Operation on infrastructure fuels such as LPG, bioLPG, LNG, hydrogen
• Efficient generation of heat and power
• Quiet, low emission operation
• Stackable and scalable from small light-weight, portable applications like battery chargers to combined heat and power generators for homes or remote sites
• Economies of scale driven manufacturing costs and market performance indicators
• Favorable key performance indicators for cost, lifetime, energy density and carbon
