AFC Energy has announced that the creation of energy from the world’s largest alkaline fuel cell system at Air Products industrial gas plant in Stade, Germany, will be online 18-months earlier than anticipated – in December 2015.
The project, supported by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking), provides an opportunity for AFC Energy to demonstrate for the first time the ability of the company’s alkaline fuel cell system (the “KORE”) to achieve technical performance parameters reflective of an operational commercial facility.
POWER-UP reflects the final phase of AFC Energy’s pre-commercialisation technical development programme and creates the platform for the company’s global commercial fuel cell deployment.
A detailed assessment of the POWER-UP programme over the last week has identified an opportunity to accelerate the date for commercial fuel cell demonstration of the KORE at its full design specification (expected to be 240kW) to the end of 2015; an acceleration of over 18 months. This will largely be achieved by;
