SAFCell has secured exclusive rights to patents from Caltech and Northwestern related to hydrogen generation using solid acid electrolyte membranes and related technologies. With these rights, and SAFCell's manufacturing know-how, SAFCell plans to develop large scale systems for the production of ultra-pure hydrogen from a host of “liquid hydrogen carriers,” such as ammonia, methanol and methylcyclohexane. Such liquid hydrogen carriers are essential to the use of green hydrogen to decarbonize hard to electrify energy sectors, such as heavy-duty transportation.
SAFCell solid acid fuel cell technology highlighted in scientific journal Joule
SAFCell solid acid fuel cell technology was featured in a recent paper on advancements in heavy-duty vehicle fuel cell research. The paper, published earlier this month in the scientific journal Joule, highlighted the potential of solid acid and other proton conductor technologies.
SAFCell and Northwestern University produce hydrogen from liquid ammonia
SAFCell and Northwestern University developed a highly efficient and cost effective method of converting liquid ammonia directly into pure, compressed hydrogen using solid acid electrochemical cells. Read more in Northwestern’s press release and in the paper published in JOULE.

SAFCell Deploys First Commercial Systems in Canadian O&G Market.
SAFCell was profiled in The Roughneck, "the voice of the Canadian oil community." Their feature notes that SAFC units provide reliable power under harsh Canadian winter conditions. Our SAFC 50W units are helping to mitigate 4-6 tons of methane emissions per well, per year.
