GEI is part of the Fuel Cell and Sustainable/Alternative Energy industry and has a target market that includes portable and on-board power generation applications requiring efficient, clean, near-zero emissions, and silent operations in the 2kW to 8kW nominal power range.
Fuel cells have several advantages over current energy producing technologies. They are efficient, environmentally benign, fuel flexible, modular, scalable, have low and easy maintenance, and are adaptable to specialized applications.
GEI is a part of the Fuel Cell and Sustainable/Alternative Energy industry market that includes portable and on-board power generation.
Fuel Cells have existed since 1800's and have provided power to space program since 1950's.
Fuel cells provide a clean and pure source of energy with by-products of heat and water.
German Aerospace presented the first manned airplane that can start and fly exclusively with a fuel cell. The technology is based on the high temperature CELTEC MEA's by BASF and employed by GEI.
