Recent advancements in fuel cell technology have increased SemGreen’s interest in the power source as a realistic, environmentally friendly alternative energy option. Fuel cells currently on the market tend to be very expensive because most of the units are handmade. It is our goal to implement a technically advanced, patented fuel cell and related technologies that can be a mass produced, portable power source.
SemGreen’s Fuel Cell and Generator
SemGreen acquired fuel cell intellectual property in 2006 and began investigating means to efficiently manufacture fuel cell technology. In 2007, SemGreen was granted two U.S. patents for the Channelless Proton Exchange Fuel Cell. This fuel cell design is the power source for the portable electric generator that SemGreen has under development.
The SemGreen generator is unlike other products currently offered on the market. Highly efficient and flexible, the SemGreen generator -
- Operates using a variety of conventional liquid fuels or “green” bio-fuels,
- Powers-up instantly,
- Handles excessive user overloading
- Is virtually silent.
SemGreen is supporting projects being conducted by leading research and development experts from the Texas A&M University and the University of Oklahoma. Their work is determining the breadth of applications for SemGreen generators – ranging from auxiliary power units that offset disruptions during peak power periods to power sources for remote locations.
Field testing and limited production is expected in 2008.
