Massachusetts-based Trenergi has unveiled the prototype of a new fuel cell.
Trenergi’s 1-kilowatt fuel cell is designed with a patented High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane-plus (HTPM+), using BASF material for the membrane.
The 1kW unit has capacity to produce 24 kWh of electricity and approximately 160 gallons of water per day, and is said to operate at up to 90% energy efficiency.
The company has also developed a 3kW prototype, which has been sold to a defence contractor for further testing. Trenergi hopes to construct fuel cells up to 100 kW in power.
