FAQsAbout Fuel Cells for Stationary Power |
|||||
Ballard fuel cell products are being used in the following applications: Backup Power - Fuel cells provide a highly reliable power source for emergency needs in telecom networks throughout various parts of the world. Supplemental Power - Fuel cells operating from reformed fuels - such as natural gas - offer a flexible solution for power in regions where the electrical grid is unreliable, which is the case in many developing nations. Distributed Generation - Fuel cells can take advantage of by-product hydrogen streams at chemical plants, producing power of use locally or resale back to the grid. And, fuel cells can provide energy storage in conjunction with other renewable technologies, such as wind and solar facilities. How do I get involved in a stationary power generation field trial program? For field trials, we work with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who bring to Ballard specific expertise in understanding market needs, manufacturing development and distribution channels. We do not conduct field trials with individuals. If you are an OEM interested in establishing a field trial program with Ballard, please contact us at marketing@ballard.com. Can I take my home off grid using a fuel cell? At this time, Ballard is not developing fuel cell systems for use as a primary residential power supply. |
