Accordingly, the 'super' battery provides enough electricity for nearly 1,400 households. This is a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell that provides regular clean power for weeks.

Fuel cells convert chemical energy from hydrogen to electricity through electrochemical interaction with oxygen and emit more than 500 MWh of power over 800 hours of operation, equivalent to 1,370 electricity consumption. at the same time.

Fuel cell technology is tipped off by designers and is considered a future power optimization solution, from car to ship.

Solvay has made a profit of € 14 million to use the technology, with support from the European Union (EU), the Netherlands and Belgium, to invest € 5 million in Solvay. .
