Distributed Generation - 1MW
Ballard's ClearGen™ fuel cell system is a complete
turnkey solution, providing a supply of zeroemission power. The system can operate
continuously for baseload power generation, or
intermittently, providing peak power during times
of high demand.
The self-contained power modules run on
hydrogen fuel; customers range from utilities to
chemical companies with available by-product
hydrogen. The 1 MW modular units are completely
scaleable in 500 kW increments, enabling tailored
solutions to meet each customer’s needs.
