Fuel cells are highly efficient for power generation and can operate on various fuels, including hydrogen, natural gas, ammonia, and methane. At Ballard, we prefer to use low-carbon hydrogen for true zero-emissions solutions.
The lifespan of a fuel cell stack depends on the type of fuel cell, the application, and operational conditions, but generally Ballard’s fuel cell stacks can last more than 25,000 hours before requiring service. Fuel cell systems are designed for low maintenance compared to internal combustion engines. Typically, fuel cell stack maintenance includes regular inspections, air and fuel filter changes, and coolant system checks to ensure efficiency and prevent degradation over time.
Fuel cell stacks are used in various applications, including transportation (cars, buses, trucks, trains, drones, ships), and stationary power generation (backup systems for hospitals, data centers). They provide clean, efficient energy with low emissions, offering advantages like long ranges and fast refueling compared to battery-powered alternatives.
