In the Netherlands, Nedstack has reached an important milestone by completing 10,000 hours of operation with its PEM fuel cell stacks in a real-world industrial installation.
The fuel cell stacks are running in industrial conditions in a PEM Power Plant at the AkzoNobel chlor-alkali plant in Delfzijl. Chlor-alkali plants produce hydrogen as a by-product, which fuel cells can then convert into electricity.
The Nedstack fuel cells are showing an extremely low degradation rate. The performance loss over the past 10,000 hours is only 5%, which suggests that this generation of fuel cell stacks will achieve a lifetime of over 20,000 hours.
