Micro power plants - the energy source of the future
Micro power and heating units is one of the latest results of our committed efforts in the development and marketing of fuel cell systems for the supply of environmentally friendly energy based on hydrogen.
 A private power and heating unit can cover a family's consumption of power and heat
In our daily lives the stable and reliable energy supply plays an important role. For that purpose we have developed a compact 5 kW micro power and heating unit for use in private households, small blocks of flats and small-scale industry. A micro power plant is comparable to a common household heater, the essential difference being, however, that the micro power and heating unit produces power as well as heat for the house.
Reduced energy consumption and pollution
When we leave the power and heat production to the consumers, the transmission loss in the power and district heating net will be considerably reduced. The gain is a higher system efficiency, energy savings and minimized - if not completely eliminated - escape of damaging residues.
The micro power plant is based on a fuel cell module driven by hydrogen. As hydrogen is not yet as common as we expect it to be, the fuel cells are currently driven by natural gas, which is transformed into hydrogen in the integral fuel processor.
 In Denmark alone there is a market potential for micro power and heating units of far above 10.000 units annually.
How does it work?
We have made an animation to explain the function of a micro power and heating unit. Click on the picture at the right to see the animation.
