Load-Following Fuel Cell

PEMFC for Natural Gas

It is a fuel cell with On-Off control capability and high load-following ability that can flexibly respond to power demand.

  • Load-Following Fuel Cell

    PEMFC for natural gas has the advantage of On-Off control and the ability to adjust the power generation according to power demand. It is a fuel cell optimized for load-following operation, flexibly responding to the variability, intermittency, and oversupply of other renewable energies.
