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 fuel cell R&D programmes in the world – and the longest running mSOFC programme – delivery of portable and mobile power solutions is Adelan’s 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.

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

• Operation on infrastructure hydrocarbon fuels such as LNG, as well as 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
• Progressive development on manufacturing costs and market performance indicators
• Favourable key performance indicators for fuel cells on lifetime, energy density and cost
