AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF HYDROGEN

Ammonia (NH3), the colorless, pungent gas, is an excellent source of hydrogen in its liquid form, containing twice as much hydrogen as liquid hydrogen by volume. Liquid ammonia can be stored in large tanks at
room temperature and is safer than propane and as safe as gasoline. More than 200 million tons of ammonia are produced each year and distributed globally via pipelines, tankers & trucks, making ammonia
readily available and cheap.

AMMONIA VS.DIESEL

Diesel is commonly used fuel, easily accessible and relatively inexpensive. However diesel is highly polluting to the atmosphere and to soil and is easily stolen and resold for a multiplicity of uses, especially
in remote areas. Like diesel, ammonia is a readily-available liquid fuel and has a developed transportation and logistical infrastructure. But ammonia is superior to diesel as it is significantly less expensive
than diesel, does not pollute the environment and is less likely to be stolen and resold as its use is relatively specialized.

4 REASONS WHY AMMONIAIS A GREAT FUEL

  • Common Ammonia is used universally in fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, beauty products, water purification and much more
  • Market Supply chain and regulations for the Ammonia Chemical already exist today
  • Popular The world’s second most widely used chemical
  • Clean Contains no greenhouse gas or pollutants

THE NEW FUEL FOR FUEL CELLS

The GenCell FOX power solution unleashes the power of fuel cells by using an inexpensive and easily
accessible liquid fuel–ammonia—to provide emission-free, reliable energy for telecoms, schools, water purification and more. And it’s extremely efficient: a single 12-ton tank of ammonia can fuel a
base station 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This makes the GenCell FOX solution ideal for use in
remote locations that lack grid access or where the grid is unstable and
backup power is frequently required.
