Problem
Many buildings and industrial sites rely on separate systems for electricity and heat, leading to inefficiencies, high energy costs, and dependence on fossil‑based grids. Additionally, remote or off‑grid locations lack reliable, low‑emission power and heating solutions, and existing backup power systems often use diesel generators that emit CO₂.
Solution
H2Powercell offers a portfolio of hydrogen‑based energy systems that generate both electricity and heat through PEM fuel‑cell technology. Their modular H2 PowerPEM 5.0 unit serves as a compact combined heat and power (CHP) plant for residential or commercial heating rooms, producing up to 5 kW electrical and 7.5 kW thermal power while using existing natural‑gas infrastructure and optionally converting to pure hydrogen. The H2 PowerCube provides scalable integration of electrolyzers, batteries, and fuel cells for applications such as hydrogen refueling stations, grid stabilization, industrial load management, and off‑grid micro‑grids. For critical infrastructure, the H2 SecurePower delivers a fully automatic, water‑cooled fuel‑cell UPS that supplies uninterrupted power and usable waste heat. All systems are monitored and managed by the SmartMonitorSystem, which visualizes energy flows, consumption, and CO₂ savings via central and tenant‑level displays and an online portal, enabling real‑time optimization and remote support.
Target Audience
Primary customers are building owners, facility managers, and industrial operators seeking integrated electricity‑heat solutions, as well as hydrogen station operators, grid operators, and providers of critical‑infrastructure backup power.
