Adelan is a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) “spin out” company originating from the materials research developments from Birmingham and Keele Universities. Started in 1996, Adelan has progressively established itself as a leading fuel cell company in the UK, working with global partners. This has been achieved under the scientific guidance of Professor Kevin Kendall, FRS who has been a leading figure in fuel cell technologies for the past 15 years.
Adelan has designed and patented a range of fuel cell products for portable, stationary and transport applications in cooperation with international clients. Demonstration units have been operating at Adelan since 1996.
Novel product designs for clients are pursued under strict and confidential licensing agreements for clients.
Co-operative projects to address fundamental research questions in SOFC fuels processing and materials lifetimes are also conducted. These technical consultancy projects are arranged on a client-by-client basis or facilitated by international research programmes such as the European Union Framework Programme Six (FP6). Adelan is currently participating members in four EU projects, including REALSOFC and SOFCNET.
2004 marks a new phase of development for Adelan. Adelan aims to develop its technologies with regional and global investment agents. For further details on how to participate in this process, please contact the Managing Director, Professor Kevin Kendall, or the International Business Development Director, Dr. Michaela Kendall.
