HydroGen Corporation (OTCBB: HYDG) designs and manufactures a 2MW power island utilizing proprietary phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) technology originally developed by Westinghouse Corporation. The company targets its zero-emission power generation product for market applications where hydrogen is currently available and other drivers favoring the adoption of fuel cells are present. HydroGen™s core product is built up from five 400kW air-cooled PAFC modules, each composed of four 100 kW sub-stacks within one pressure vessel. HydroGen uses standard balance-of-plant components with little customization. This approach, unique to fuel cells but common in chemical plant construction, significantly reduces cost and technical risk.
