Supply and Demand:

  • NERC 2022 Long Term Reliability assessment shows over half of the country has high risk of insufficient electricity supply over the next 5 years.
  • Reliable electric supply is critical.

Increasing Cost:

  • On average, customers saw a 11%-16% increase in electricity prices last year.
  • Electric delivery costs doubled from 20% of total utility costs in 2010 to ~40% in 2021.

Sustainability:

  • WATT on-site power solutions avoid >30%CO₂ emissions vs. the grid.
  • Blended hydrogen has the potential to increase CO₂ savings.
  • WATT systems work in tandem with solar and battery power.

Hydrogen Growth:

  • Hydrogen is the most plentiful element on Earth and has the potential to be the clean fuel of the future.
  • WATT is a participant in the ARCH2 Hydrogen Hub.

WATT Fuel Cell Benefits vs. Combustion Technologies

Fuel cells mark a dramatic clean energy technology breakthrough, providing clean electrical energy directly from stored chemical energy found in fuels.

Comparatively, generators create mechanical energy by combusting fuels, which is then converted into electricity via an alternator. Aside from electricity, however, conventional generators also create noise, vibrations, and dangerous fumes, and require regular maintenance.

The Hydrogen Energy Economy is on its Way

Blending hydrogen generated by reforming natural gas or water electrolysis with natural gas can dramatically reduce CO2 emissions – and WATT’s Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) can process these transitional fuels today.

With WATT SOFCs at the center of our evolving energy solutions, we can create a hybrid network that leverages a full range of power generation options to balance the relative strengths of each one:

  • WATT fuel cells work in tandem with solar power and energy storage optimizing clean energy generation and power availability.
  • WATT fuel cells support hydrogen blended fuels now and will support pure hydrogen in the future.
  • WATT fuel cells configured for uninterrupted power supply will generate electricity even when the grid goes down providing reliability when and where it’s needed most.
