The principle of the
fuel cell was demonstrated in 1839 by Sir William Grove.He achieved the reverse reaction of water electrolysis. A
fuel cell enables the conversion of chemical energy directly into electrical energy. This conversion produces electricity, heat and water simultaneously, in an universally known chemical reaction. Air Liquide creates AXANE in May 2001.AXANE and the Air Liquide group together propose a unique overall energy solution
that combines
fuel cells and
hydrogen.The combination of skills,technological advances and expertise of the team is supported by 8 R&D centers.
Air Liquide and AXANE bring
together significant research and development capability of unparalleled strength. The advantages of the hydrogen and
fuel cell solution:
➜
Silent
➜
No polluting emissions
➜
High quality of electrical current
➜
Simplified maintenance
➜
Extended operation time
➜
Compactness
