Power-to-gas energy storage and hydrogen infrastructure research

Natural gas production and distribution

Hydrogen production systems, PEM electrolyzer technology

An energy storage system that converts surplus alternative energy into hydrogen gas for storage in pipeline networks. Hydrogenics claims this technology offers better energy storage capabilities than utility-scale counterparts.

The specific type of fuel cell technology supplied by Ballard Power Systems for the buses in Mississauga.

Proton Exchange Membrane electrolyzer technology developed by Hydrogenics. The article describes it as next-generation with the highest power density and lowest carbon footprint of any such system in the world.

A power-to-gas energy storage project that will produce hydrogen fuel from photovoltaic (solar) power using Proton OnSite electrolyzers. The hydrogen will be injected into a simulated natural gas pipeline system managed by the National Fuel Cell Research Center to gather data on hydrogen infrastructure and energy storage.

A new electrolyzer platform developed by Proton OnSite to meet large-scale energy storage requirements. The 2 megawatt iteration can increase hydrogen production 13 times over conventional production methods and is less expensive than conventional hydrogen production systems.
