Element 1 Corp, a pioneer in on-demand hydrogen generation technology, has partnered with Ballard Power Systems, a global leader in zero-emission fuel cell technology, to advance the adoption of sustainable hydrogen energy solutions.
This collaboration has led to a significant innovation: successfully integrating Ballard’s FCwave™ 200-kW fuel cell module with Element 1’s M/L18 hydrogen generator. This pairing produces high-purity hydrogen at lower pressures, achieved through software modifications without hardware changes. The result is reduced operational costs and lower carbon intensity, especially when renewable methanol is used as a feedstock.
“With a simple software upgrade, any deployed FCwave™ may be coupled to an M/L18 hydrogen generator to achieve immediate savings on operational costs. And if renewable methanol is used, the carbon intensity of the resulting electrical power will be very low.”
Element 1 Corp, based in Bend, Oregon, is at the forefront of developing advanced hydrogen generation systems. Their technology is known for being scalable, reliable, and cost-effective, making it adaptable to various applications. Element 1 specializes in small-scale reactor design and membrane-based hydrogen purifiers, providing solutions for on-site hydrogen generation, grid-independent power generation for BEV charging and microgrids, and mobile hydrogen generation for fuel cell electric vehicles. Their innovative technology is licensed to partners worldwide, broadening its application across multiple markets.
Ballard Power Systems, listed on NASDAQ and TSX, is a global leader in the development of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, which are integral to the electrification of various transportation modes, including buses, trucks, trains, and marine vessels, as well as stationary power applications. Ballard’s vision is to provide fuel cell power for a sustainable planet, and its zero-emission fuel cells are a key component in the transition to cleaner energy.
