Automobiles, buses and utility companies spew billions of tons of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air each year. Fuel cells emit 60 percent less carbon dioxide than combustion engines.
Clean Energy
Fuel cells are virtually pollution-free. Nitrous oxide (NOx) is a pollutant that produces smog, and sulfur oxide (SOx) is responsible for acid rain. Because of its superior environmental performance, fuel cell power exceeds air emission standards in many U.S. states.
Compared with traditional combustion powerplants, a single PureCell™ Model 200 system: - Emits 17,000 pounds less acid rain and smog-causing pollutants into the environment every year.
- Reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1.5 million pounds per year.
