SAFCell, Inc.
SAFCell hydrogen generation solutions enable the on-site conversion of readily-available liquid feedstocks such as ammonia into hydrogen at fueling stations. Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed in a fuel cell, produces water as its only byproduct.
How does a solid acid hydrogen generator work | SAFCell
SAFCell hydrogen generators produce hydrogen from chemical fuels through a combination of chemical and electrochemical reactions that take place inside the solid acid hydrogen stack. At the core of each stack is a special material called the electrolyte membrane, which allows the separation of hydrogen from other gases.
On-site hydrogen generation for transportation and

Benefits of solid acid fuel cells | SAFCell
SAFCell fuel cell stacks can operate on a number of different fuels. Unlike cold fuel cells, our fuel cell stacks are tolerant of impurities. We can operate on industrial grade fuels such as methanol and propane – we don''t require ultra-pure fuel sources. We can also utilize the same fuels as hot fuel cells and combustion-based generators.
