Hydrogen fuel cells will now be open to the consumer market. Thanks to a joint collaboration between Millinium cell, a leading provider of hydrogen technology to the armed forces, and Horizon, known for its small PEM fuel cells.
Teaming together at the Japan’s CEATEC exhibition, the two decided to show off their first 50W fuel cell emergency power supply that is estimated to sell for under $400 to the consumer market.
The new fuel cell is expected to be used by emergency first responders, disaster relief professionals and consumers during blackouts. The fuel cell is also being marketed for the recreational market, providing power in remote areas.
Millennium’s hydrogen battery technology uses sodium borohydride (NaBH4), to supply the needed hydrogen to Horizon’s fuel cell.
