As interest and investment in hydrogen related technologies increase, SgurrEn- SgurrEnergy shows its position at the cutting edge ergy by providing due diligence services on a proposed high volume fuel cell manufac- manufacturing plant.
The Department of Energy predicts fuel cell costs to be comparable to conventional engine costs by 2015. Governments around the globe are announcing hydrogen transport trial programs and German fuel cell manufacturer Proton Motor, following the market demand, is increasing capacity of their proposed high volume production line.
Proton Motor specialise in delivering a hybrid electric fuel cell system, principally for buses and forklift trucks which utilise energy storage devices to provide power during peak demand situations. The energy stored from both regenerative breaking and directly from the fuel cell, allows the rated power of the fuel cell to be reduced, which Proton claim results in an overall capital cost and fuel saving when compared with a fuel cell only system.
Proton Motor’s current projects include a fuel cell forklift truck which is being tested at Munich airport, and a fuel cell hybrid bus for the City of Barth on the German coast. SgurrEnergy’s due diligence report detailed a technical analysis of Protons fuel cell products and proposed manufacturing process plan which supports the claim that their fuel cells are technically ready for commercialisation. SgurrEnergy has carried out due diligence on a range of processes and products. For further details please call us on 0141 433 4646.
