Starting in 2023, businesses will receive tax credits for purchasing new electric and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Fuel cells, which generate power quietly and efficiently without pollution, have garnered attention and investment from governments, private businesses, and academic institutions worldwide. So what are fuel cells? In simple terms, they convert hydrogen and oxygen into water, producing electricity in the process. Unlike batteries, fuel cells don't "go dead"; they continue producing electricity as long as there's a flow of chemicals. Various types of fuel cells exist, each with different chemistries, operating temperatures and applications. For instance, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have high power density and low operating temperature, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) and Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC), meanwhile, are best for large, stationary power generators. #hydrogen #fuel #fuelcells #scienceandenvironment
