Proton powers on with hydrogen sales
Newcastle fuel cell designer and developer Proton Power Systems has sold a hydrogen-based system to customers in Germany and Italy.
Proton said the deal involved its subsidiary Proton Motor Fuel Cell which has sold the first two units of a 19-inch rack-mounted hydrogen fuel cell system.
Each system can produce up to five kilovolt-amperes of electricity and fits into an industrial housing cabinet, Proton said.
Dr Faiz Nahab, the chief executive officer of Proton Power, said: "We are delighted to see the first sales of our new product.
"After a long testing period, we are convinced it will operate reliably and play an important role in our future business development.
"We hope to address more customers soon with our new product range, as hydrogen powered solutions will play an increasingly important role in the power supply industry as well as the provision of secure power for IT applications."
