KEY BENEFITS
Fuel cells are highly reliable, with minimal downtime & maintenance, and can ensure a consistent electricity supply. They operate with low noise and much less pollution than fossil-fuel power stations, especially if run on hydrogen. This means they can be sited close to population centres, which minimises transmission losses. Even when fuelled with natural gas, the higher efficiency of fuel cells means the amount of carbon dioxide emitted per kilowatt-hour generated is significantly lower than conventional power generation. As such, fuel cells are eligible for government incentives in a number of countries.
