The fuel cell is a chemical energy converter. For example, by using Hydrogen and Oxygen (air) as input, a fuel cell can transform these throughout a chemical reaction into heat and electricity. Another product of this reaction is water.

The exothermic reactions in a fuel cell are nothing else, but the opposite to an electrolysis.

Here you can find more details about the structure and the chemical functioning of a fuel cell.

In a Hydrogen economy fuel cells will be installed in households and industrial sectors.

The hydrogen will be transported to the enduser throughout a pipeline system. This decentralized method allows it to use the wasteheat as effective as possible.

Fuell cells will also be included in cars. They can be used together with an electric engine and will be running on Hydrogen.
