New partnership to advance high-temperature PEM fuel cells; focus on heavy-duty applications

Green Car Congress

HT-PEM fuel cell technology would allow heavy-duty and other hard-to-decarbonize applications to operate with high efficiency while using hydrogen and mitigating water management problems. The heaviest part of the typical hydrogen fuel-cell system is the hydrogen storage tanks that weigh about 4,000 pounds to haul for a distance of 350 miles.
