Adelan chief executive Dr Michaela Kendall has been named as one of twenty-one Mission Innovation Champions around the world in recognition of her role in the clean energy transition.
In the second year of the international Mission Innovation Champions programme, Adelan leader Dr Michaela Kendall has been recognized for her extraordinary role in the hydrogen economy. Making energy cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable, Adelan’s pioneering fuel cell technology has been identified as making an outstanding contribution to the low carbon energy transition and Dr Kendall has consequently been selected as the UK’s first winning entrant.
A completely new effort to recognize outstanding individuals working on vital clean energy research and technology, the international Mission Innovation Champions programme attracts worldwide attention to the most promising ideas from across the globe. The programme facilitates engagement from governments, research institutes, affiliated organizations, and private sector investors supporting cross-border exchanges of ideas and talent and building a community of visionaries.
As part of a global team, Dr Kendall joins a network of international leaders committed to the promise of clean energy research and development and will help activate and engage the clean energy transition.
Reflecting on the award, Dr Kendall said: “Recognition for Adelan’s pioneering role in the clean energy transition is a fantastic boost for the whole Adelan team, and The Midlands. It’s vital that technologies such as our hydrogen-ready fuel cells are rolled out commercially if we are to tackle the twin challenges of climate change and urban air quality. Britain has a key role to play in building the global manufacturing capacity to install low carbon energy and we continue Birmingham’s long history of energy innovators. I am thrilled that our Adelan family has been internationally recognised. Now it is time for the UK to support players like Adelan to roll this out”.

About Adelan
First founded in The Midlands, Birmingham-based Adelan pioneered microtubular solid oxide fuel cell (mSOFC) technology more than 30 years’ ago. Adelan’s patented and scalable technology gives the fuel cell unprecedented flexibility, allowing the system to run cleanly on a range of commonly available fuels such as LPG, natural gas or propane/butane mix. As a result, though Adelan fuel cells can also run on hydrogen, they offer considerable additional operational flexibility and ease of use benefits whilst retaining a small, compact and lightweight footprint.
Pioneering mobile fuel cell applications, Adelan scores another win with its proven SOFC technology, with a project with construction giant Speedy Hire. A hybridised system powered by fuel cells could spell the answer to decarbonising mobile construction lifts.
