After 21 years of determination, ingenuity and excellent teamwork, SAFCell has come to an end.

The fuel cell, hydrogen, and energy landscape have changed drastically since opening our doors, with many existing technologies now commercialized, albeit a few decades later than initially thought. And yet, the need for very pure hydrogen and inability to run directly on liquid fuels remains a barrier to mass adoption of many technologies on the market.

As such, the intermediate temperature technology of Solid Acid Fuel Cells and Solid Acid Hydrogen Generators still remains a viable option for future commercial systems, especially for devices that will run on green liquid hydrogen carriers whose production is being rapidly increased to provide green fuels and chemicals for a high energy, low carbon future.

We ESPECIALLY wanted to thank all the support, interest, investment, and encouragement from everyone involved in our journey: the SAFCell (and Superprotonic!) team, academic collaborators, government bodies and government laboratories, industry partners, and of course, our investors. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the multiple decade long support and encouragement you gave us, without which we would never have been able to take the technology from a pile of white powder to products tested and deployed on three continents.
