Electrochemical Technologies not limited to:
Fuel Cells
Fuel cells are clean energy converters. Chemical energy can be converted to electricity and heat, typically causing no harmful emissions. In the case of a fuel cell, energy is stored outside of the electrochemical cell, making it an open system. To offer power over prolonged periods, larger fuel storage would be needed, whereas the fuel cell unit size remains unchanged.
EHPs
Electrochemical hydrogen purifiers separate hydrogen from a mixture of industrial gases consisting NH₃, N₂, CO₂, CO, CH₄, H₂S among others using only a tiny amount of energy and are similar in construction to fuel cells. Similar techniques can be employed to separate singular gas species from multiple gas streams ejected from steel, chlor-alkali, chemical, oil and gas industries and the like.
Batteries
Batteries are electrochemical cells wherein energy is stored and converted from special materials and redox reactions. These are closed systems as opposed to fuel cells. Therefore, to offer power over longer periods, additional units are needed. Energy storage and conversion are closely embedded inside a battery compartment. Efficient material recycling, low carbon foot-print are focal areas.
