The Nordic fuel cell company PowerCell launched a next generation fuel cell stack, S2, which is designed to work in an auxiliary power unit (APU) environment on reformate gas as well as on a variety of systems running on pure hydrogen, for both automotive and stationary applications. It uses thin metal bipolar plates and membrane electrode assembly (MEA).
The S2 platform will complement the first generation fuel cell stack, the S1 (1-5 kW), as it covers a larger power range up to 25 kW. The S2 uses proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology.
