Description

The purpose of the project is to develop and assemble in cooperation with Beyonder AS and Nordic Batteries AS a 10 000 W proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell based portable generator UP10K Pro which will provide clean energy to a number of industries that require uninterrupted power supply, especially to the construction and mining industry, but also to telecommunication masts, healthcare facilities etc. The UP10K Pro includes a lithium-ion capacitor (LiC) pack, thus the solution will be able to provide high power for a short period of time to, for example, perform heavy lifts or start up heavy machinery (such as cranes, forklifts, mining equipment). The generator is using compressed hydrogen gas as fuel and is a zero-emission solution, therefore it is perfect to heavy diesel generators.
