Hydrogen Fuel Cells - Dispelling Common Myths

Myth: Deploying Hydrogen Fuel Cells Requires a Big Upfront Investment in Fueling System

Truth: Years ago, using fuel cells at your site required investment in either a hydrogen generation system or a liquid-based system.

Now, other options are available that dramatically reduce, or sometimes eliminate, large initial expenditures for hydrogen fueling equipment. While the higher-investment options are still available, there are new options that enable fleets to lease systems or just pay for the fuel they consume.

Myth: The Only Benefit of Fuel Cells is Environmental

Truth: While zero harmful emissions are beneficial, operations using fuel cells receive benefits from boosted productivity as well. This is mostly derived from refueling times as fast as three minutes and reductions in battery-related footprint inside their facility.

Operators simply refuel the cell using an automotive-style fuel dispenser – getting them back to work quickly. The space needed for battery storage or vast numbers of chargers is also freed-up by using a small number of fuel dispensers.
