Fuel cells are electrochemical cells that converts the chemical reaction energy of a continuously supplied fuel and an oxidant into electrical energy. In colloquial usage, fuel cell is usually a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell.
There are various types of fuel cells that need to be tuned very precisely to the particular application. Various specialized companies produce high-tech fuel cells in Europe.
In the field of electric mobility fuel cells offer a number of advantages and are a high-tech component of an overall system. Oxygen from the ambient air is brought to chemical reaction with gasified liquid hydrogen. The “exhaust” is pure clean water.
This technique offers absolutely emission-free electricity from hydrogen at excellent electrical efficiency to over 50% . Compared to gasoline engines (15-20 % efficiency) it offers incredible opportunities to increase productivity.
The nowadays everywhere unprofitable use of such systems in vehicles marked difference in cost ( € / kWh) is due to the costly centralized production of hydrogen . One possible solution is the Decentralized hydrogen production with wind- or waterpower.
