This is brilliant to think that AFC are now at a level to design and build bespoke systems such as this. Just read what they are supplying and how this supports the credentials.
Marketing and branding rights included
AFC Energy's hydrogen power solution for Extreme E will showcase three primary innovative traits:
(i) zero emission power generation through use of the Company's proprietary alkaline hydrogen fuel cell;
(ii) remote manufacture of "Green Hydrogen" through micro-alkaline water electrolysis powered by the sun;
(iii) use of by-product water from the fuel cell system for on-site consumption.
The Hydrogen generation solution devised by AFC Energy will enable Extreme E to self-certify the green credentials of hydrogen fuel generated between races, removing the need to store and transport vast amounts of Hydrogen across the racing seasons.
The Hydrogen will fuel AFC Energy's H-PowerTM power generator, utilising the Company's proprietary alkaline fuel cell system, to generate zero emission power in excess of 2MWh per race event to charge Championship vehicles prior to and throughout the unique race format. AFC Energy will also supply a Battery Energy Storage System as part of its solution which will fully integrate with the H-PowerTM fuel cell system.
AFC Energy has obtained marketing and branding rights associated with the racing series, which are expected to be seen by a global audience throughout the 2021 Championship, and the events leading up to the series commencement.
