Voller Energy Group plc (LSE:VLR) is one of the world's first commercial developers and manufacturers of portable fuel cell systems for use as battery chargers and mobile generators – ideal for anyone who has a need for reliable and versatile remote power.
Voller’s initial target markets include construction, leisure (boating, Recreational Vehicles and caravanning), telecoms and the military. Within these markets the benefits of using fuels cells, such as low noise, no toxic emissions and health and safety issues, are important drivers.
These are sizeable markets – the portable power market (generally defined up to 10kW), is expected to be worth $17 billion by 2011 (Canadian Fuel Cell Commercialisation Roadmap – Price Waterhouse Coopers, March 2003.)
Fuel cells work by converting the chemical energy in hydrogen to electrical energy. Hydrogen is combined with oxygen from the air across a special membrane.
The outputs from this reaction are electricity, heat and water - no toxic emissions are produced. To provide sufficient voltage for a useable electrical load, several membranes are assembled between plates and placed into a stack. Essentially, more plates mean more energy, so a larger stack of plates will produce a greater output.
In addition to this core technology, Voller has also created fuel cell control systems that allow integrated battery charging systems to operate at high efficiency. These systems involve close monitoring of all inputs and outputs, with software written by Voller Energy that controls the fuel cell system effectively.
Importantly, Voller's business is not dependent on the emergence of a hydrogen infrastructure, which may take many years to develop. Voller is developing a low cost fuel processor technology which means that it can extract the hydrogen found in fuels such as propane, LPG, diesel and the military fuel JP-8. This supply of hydrogen from commonly available fuels should ensure the early and widespread adoption of fuel cell technology.
