Hydrogen, the simplest element and most abundant element on Earth, has only one proton and one electron. By ripping the electron off the molecule via a circuit, using oxygen from the air, the hydrogen molecule outputs DC power with heat and water vapour as the only by-products.
This is the basic principle upon which many aspects of the hydrogen energy value chain are and will be built, and which the material handling market readily adopted in earnest almost a decade ago.
Since 2010, early adopters utilised GenDrive hydrogen fuel cells from Plug Power to increase productivity at manufacturing and distribution plants. Now, as the technology approaches the mainstream, hydrogen fuel cells strive to be the future for the material handling industry. Superior to industrial lead-acid batteries in electric class-1, class-2 and class-3 material handling equipment, GenDrive hydrogen fuel cells always provide 100% power, even in temperatures as low as -22°F (-30°C).
