Automobiles, buses and utility companies emit 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.
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.
Because of its superior environmental performance, fuel cell power exceeds air emission standards in many U.S. states.
