The FCwave™ is a powerful fuel cell module that is scalable from 200kW to 1.2MW applications. The module leverages more than eight generations of product development and heavy-duty module experience in demanding applications and climates.
This module provides a flexible, industrial grade, all-in-one fuel cell power solution that is low in total lifecycle cost and easily scalable to power and space requirements.
FCwave™ is a cabinet based modular fuel cell system scalable to MW. It is designed to provide zero-emission power to a broad range of marine vessels and stationary applications. It has received type certifications by DNV, Lloyd’s Register and ABS for operation in marine environment.
Lower lifecycle cost
Low total cost of ownership is achieved through product performance optimization, common components across product platforms, and low maintenance requirements.
Simplified system integration
The system is integrated into a clean-lined cabinet with access to all interfaces from the front for easy service and maintenance.
Easily scalable
Available in 200kW modules, FCwave™ facilitates scalable power output and flexible integration to a wide variety of marine and stationary power applications.
Safe operation
Designed hand-in-hand with the industry to meet the demand of the most stringent reliability and climate conditions, FCwave™ is developed, tested, and prepared for installation with an uncompromising focus on safety.
Ballard provides a full range of fuel cell modules to transition the marine and stationary power generation markets to zero-emission operations, using our proven technology and experience. The FCwave™ solution provides longer runtime with no compromise on performance, and comparable refueling times when compared to fossil fuel solutions.
Ballard’s fuel cells are poised to significantly impact the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in maritime and stationary power operations.

Ballard’s range of fuel cell products offers significant environmental benefits compared to fossil fuels. When fueled by low-carbon hydrogen, Ballard fuel cells deliver true zero-emission power to even the hardest-to-decarbonize sectors.
Absolutely! Several of our products are designed as scalable modules that can be combined as multiple units to deliver more power. The FCmove-XD is an example of a modular design that can be scaled from 120kW to 360kW, with a single interface.
Ballard PEM fuel cell product operate with pure hydrogen gas (SAE J-2719 purity standards). Hydrogen can be produced from different production pathways. We recommend using low-carbon hydrogen to deliver maximum environmental benefits
Like any type of engine, the lifetime depends on its usage and environment. Typically, our fuel cell modules last up to 25,000 hours of operation. Maintenance is limited to changing filters, replacing sensors, coolant pumps, and water separators. With only four moving parts, a fuel cell requires significantly less maintenance than an internal combustion engine.
Our products are designed to meet very strict environmental requirements, restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Ballard offers its customers a refurbishment program for fuel cell stacks that have reached the end of life.
