Delivered in collaboration with the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, discover how fuel cells and hydrogen will support the Green Recovery in the Midlands.
Published July 2020
In this webinar, delegates learn the history and the future of fuel cells and hydrogen in the Midlands UK, led by one of the UK’s fuel cell pioneers.
The talk covers the following aspects of fuel cells:
History of fuel cells, hydrogen and other low carbon technologies in the Midlands
State of the art developments and the current landscape of commercial uses/players
The role of fuel cells and hydrogen in the low carbon energy transition and a Green Recovery, post-COVID
Dr Michaela Kendall is CEO of Adelan, the longest running fuel cell company in Britain and a business she co-founded in The Midlands in 1996. Adelan commercialises a clean energy (fuel cell) technology she co-invented with Prof Kevin Kendall FRS in the early 1990s. Addressing the emissions, security and cost of energy throughout her career, she secured the widest international cooperation in the US, Europe and Asia to realise global ambitions for hydrogen and fuel cells. After a 30 year career in the area, she was recently recognised as a global pioneer in accelerating the energy transition in the hydrogen and fuel cells challenge of Mission Innovation, an initiative part funded by the EC and Bill Gates. She was named as the first UK Mission Innovation Champion in 2020 by a scheme administered by BEIS.

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.
Adelan has successfully demonstrated SOFC’s potential by powering auxiliary power on a very light rail (VLR) vehicle in the Black Country, reducing operating costs through fuel efficiency and slashing carbon emissions
The collaboration between Adelan and the UK Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) aims to scale up production in the UK. This partnership will increase UK manufacturing capacity to enhance the UK electric vehicle supply chain
Following the Invest West Midlands case study, Adelan’s innovative microtubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (mSOFCs) have been highlighted for their ability to use conventional fuels like propane and biomethane.
Hydrogen fuel cells are key to a low-carbon energy future, but face challenges in production, infrastructure, and costs. Adelan’s microtubular SOFCs provide an immediate solution by using readily available fuels like propane and biomethane, supporting the hydrogen economy transition.
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.
The UK Mission Innovation Hydrogen Champion proposes 3 simple steps to build a UK green hydrogen ecosystem: 1) National strategy, 2) Regional clustering, 3) Democratise tech funding
