On-site hydrogen generation for transportation and materials
SAFCell hydrogen generation solutions enable the on-site conversion of readily-available liquid feedstocks such as ammonia into hydrogen at fueling stations. For large vehicles such as heavy duty trucks, trains and ships, SAFCell hydrogen generators could provide on-board hydrogen generation from liquid fuels, enabling the use of clean fuels
World''s first solid acid fuel cell system converts propane to
Fuel cell developer SAFCell, and development partner UltraCell, have demonstrated the world''s first stand alone solid acid fuel cell (SAFC) system converting propane into electricity to meet the increasing demand for portable power on the battlefield.
Benefits of solid acid fuel cells | SAFCell
SAFCell fuel cell stacks can operate on a number of different fuels. Unlike cold fuel cells, our fuel cell stacks are tolerant of impurities. We can operate on industrial grade fuels such as methanol and propane – we don''t require ultra-pure fuel sources. We can also utilize the same fuels as hot fuel cells and combustion-based generators.

CERAWeek panel discussion recap: Accelerating development of
On March 9th SAFCell president and CEO Dr. Calum Chisholm participated in a panel discussion with three other clean energy entrepreneurs to offer their perspectives on the key challenges that must be overcome to develop zero-carbon energy systems and technologies at scale. The consensus was that the
Solid Acid Fuel Cells for the hydrogen economy | SAFCell
SAFCell''s versatile technology converts liquid fuels into electricity or ultra-pure, compressed hydrogen more economically and reliably than alkaline, PEM or solid oxide solutions.
SAFCell, Inc.
SAFCell hydrogen generation solutions enable the on-site conversion of readily-available liquid feedstocks such as ammonia into hydrogen at fueling stations. Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed in a fuel cell, produces water as its only byproduct.
How does a solid acid hydrogen generator work | SAFCell
SAFCell hydrogen generators produce hydrogen from chemical fuels through a combination of chemical and electrochemical reactions that take place inside the solid acid hydrogen stack. At the core of each stack is a special material called the electrolyte membrane, which allows the separation of hydrogen from other gases.
First Step to Kilowatt Solid Acid Fuel Cell Diesel APU Taken by
SAFCell, Inc. (Pasadena, CA) has successfully achieved the second technical milestone on its 18 month development contract with Nordic Power Systems (NPS, Norway) to deliver solid acid fuel cell (SAFC) stacks for incorporation into

SAFCell was profiled in The Roughneck, "the voice of the Canadian oil community." Their feature notes that SAFC units provide reliable power under harsh Canadian winter conditions. Our SAFC 50W units are helping to mitigate 4-6 tons of methane emissions per well, per year. Download the
SAFCell | arpa-e.energy.gov
SAFCell will develop a novel electrochemical system that converts ammonia to hydrogen. The key innovation is the use of a solid acid electrolyte, a type of electrolyte that is stable in the presence of ammonia while under the operating conditions needed for reactions. Solid acid fuel cell stacks operate at intermediate temperatures (around 250°C) and
SAFCell :: About Us
SAFCell believes SAFCs to be a superior technology to current fuel cell types under development for medium to low power applications due to their intermediate (200-300°C) operational temperatures. Our technology enables enhanced fuel flexibility, greater variety of catalyst utilization, and extensive simplification of reformer systems.
