Results for tag: "Protonic Ceramic Fuel Cell"

The Protonic Ceramic Fuel Cell (PCFC) is a type of fuel cell that uses a proton-conducting ceramic electrolyte to generate electricity from a fuel source. PCFCs are typically used in stationary applications, such as combined heat and power (CHP) systems, and are known for their high efficiency and long-term reliability. PCFCs are also used in some transportation applications, such as buses and forklifts. PCFCs are typically more expensive than other types of fuel cells, such as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, but they offer higher power densities and longer lifespans. PCFCs are also more tolerant of impurities in the fuel source, making them well-suited for applications that use fuels such as biogas or landfill gas. The PCFC market is growing as more applications for the technology are developed. Governments and businesses are increasingly investing in PCFCs as a way to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency. Some companies in the PCFC market include Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd, Bloom Energy, FuelCell Energy, and Doosan Fuel Cell America. Show Less Read more
