Oxide Fuel Cell Manufacturers Worldwide

Although fuel cells have been invented centuries ago, and they have also been utilized in a number of NASA missions since the sixties, they have yet to gain a practical application in the modern world mainly due to their very high cost. However, today, more and more oxide fuel cell manufacturers are emerging and harnessing the potential of fuel cell for a variety of practical applications. One of the most common applications for oxide fuel cell technology in the modern world is generating cost-efficient electric power for commercially used vehicles. Oxide fuel cells are also utilized for the creation of stationary power along with some military applications.

Also, referred as SOFC, solid oxide fuel cells are capable of converting chemical energy into conventional fuel that generates electrical power with minimal emissions. And because fuel cells are designed to have minimal moving parts, they are capable of operating with minimum noise.

More manufacturers are now harnessing the true green potential of oxide fuel cells. In that regard, here are some of the manufacturers employing the use of oxide fuel cell  technology when creating their products:

Bloom Energy

This company aims to change the way the world consumes and use energy. Bloom Energy produces power generation systems that make use of fuel cell technology. The company focuses in creating green energy solutions by harnessing power from alternative energy sources, like the fuel cell. In fact, Bloom Energy’s Energy Services are known to be one of the most efficient power generators on the planet today. The power generator they manufacture are capable of significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions while at the same time reducing the cost of electric consumption. Headquartered in the city of Sunnyvale in California, Bloom Energy is known for manufacturing on-site power generation powered by fuel cell technology.

Brazil H2 Fuel Cell Energy

Known as a leading company in Brazil, Brazil H2 Fuel Cell Technology is devoted to the hydrogen and fuel cell market. Their main business is to educate people about the green benefits of using fuel cell and hydrogen in power generation. The company has introduced fuel cell and hydrogen technologies in the country and continues to seek for opportunities of using fuel cells and hydrogen in Brazil.

Hosokawa Micron Group

Headquartered on Shoudai Tajika in Hirakata-Shi, the company manufactures fuel cell-related products such as low temp operation SOFC, Nobilta, and SOFC materials (NiO-YSZ composite powder). The company is responsible for creating FC products that focus on product recovery, powder/particle processing and air pollution control.

Wartsila Corporation

This Finnish company is a reputable supplier of lifetime care services, operation and power plants in decentralized fuel cell power generation systems. Wartsalia is known for providing global care services to ship machineries acquired by their clients.
