AFC is a leading developer of low-cost alkaline fuel cell systems that use hydrogen to produce clean electricity, heat and water. AFC's technology is focused on large-scale industrial applications and the objective of producing the lowest possible unit cost electricity. Please visit our website at www.afcenergy.com.
High efficiency levels: using readily available hydrogen and air as the source of oxygen, electrical efficiency is up to 60 per cent., which compares to around 30 per cent. for conventional electricity generating technology.
Low cost production: fabricating with low cost materials combined with industrially proven production processes.
Low temperature and pressure: operating at less than 100 degrees Celsius enables us to use polymer mouldings for many parts.
Hydrogen sealing: operating at low pressure, hydrogen is readily sealed within the system.
Thermal management: a circulating liquid electrolyte simplifies the thermal management of the system.
Balance of plant: the majority of components are off-the-shelf and mass manufactured for other uses enabling us to benefit from these economies of scale.
Value engineered for assembly: the component count has significantly reduced and commercial units are designed for easy assembly.
AFC has significantly reduced the cost of its technology to make its fuel cell system a commercially viable proposition.
