PowerUP's generators are based on proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, which makes power generation efficient and environmentally friendly.

Our fuel cell generators use pure hydrogen gas as fuel. By generating electricity, hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine and form a harmless by-product known as H2O or water.

HOW IT WORKS?

Membrane Fuel Cell

The hydrogen molecules enter the fuel cell on the anode side and through a catalytic process the electrons are stripped from the molecules.

        

The positively charged protons pass through the membrane to the cathode and the negatively charged electrons are forced through a circuit, generating electricity.

      

After passing through the circuit, the electrons combine with the protons and oxygen from the air to generate the fuel cell's by-products: water and heat.

WHY CHOOSE FUEL CELLS?

Hydrogen fuel cell generators are a viable alternative to diesel generators and batteries if you seek:

 

CONVENIENCE    

SUSTAINABILITY

 
Our products are almost silent in operation, thus ideal to reduce noise pollution. The only moving parts in our generators are fans, which means there is no need for maintenance.          

Hydrogen fuel cells are environmentally friendly, because they only emit heat and water vapor, but no harmful emissions.

       

WEIGHT SAVING

    RELIABILITY

Compared to batteries and diesel generators, our 10 kg solution can provide a substantial weight reduction. The fuel cell generator is compact and can fit neatly into the compartment.

    Our modules can operate at temperatures ranging from -20 ℃ to 52 ℃ (-4 ℉ to 126 ℉).

 

UNIQUENESS AND IP

 

CATALYST MATERIAL    

UNIQUE DESIGN

They have developed our own highly active bio-based and CO2-derived nanocatalyst. Industrial biowaste and CO2 are being used to synthesize high surface area and highly porous nanocarbon supports which are further modified with metal nanoparticles.

   

PowerUp's patented product design is modular and its features make it easy to transport and attach anywhere needed. Inner box design makes it spill resistant and shockproof.

       

PEM FUEL CELL

   

POWER ELECTRONICS

They are developing our own corrosion proof and lightweight fuel cell stacks which will be perfect to operate in rough and extremely corrosive environments

         

Their unique electronic block allows the user to transform the generator into a smart grid system. Users can connect their external battery together with small solar panels or wind turbines and save the excess electricity. However, this requires an additional system to be implemented
