Rooted in the 14-billion-year history of the Universe is nature’s powerhouse of producing energy from hydrogen. A revolution in the energy generation sector is quietly underway, driven by this 14-billion-year-old energy resource using a 200-year-old technology, now popularly known as fuel cells. Fuel cells are modernising the way electricity is generated, where the end-user is now the prosumer, a term coined by Futurist Alvin Toffler, where the producer becomes the consumer of what they produce, and the result is that the consumer takes back control of their energy supply, increasing reliability and efficiency. Welcome to the era of distributed, decentralised and onsite energy generation powered by hydrogen.

The Future of Clean Energy for South African Businesses

As South African companies look for reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly energy supply, hydrogen is emerging as a key solution. Hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy and it has zero carbon emissions when used. South Africa, with its abundance of renewable natural resources, has been earmarked as one of a few countries globally that will be able to produce green hydrogen at a large scale.

Energy company Mitochondria Energy, whose origin is in nature and biomimicry (ask nature), has modelled its vision and mission around the possibilities found in nature. Knowing and understanding this wisdom from nature, Mitochondria decided that it must provide sustainable and affordable decentralised energy solutions and technologies to power the hydrogen economy.

Fuel cells are an amazing power generation technology that silently splits the hydrogen atom to produce electricity, heat and water in an electro-chemical modular machine with no moving parts. A fuel cell puts the power back into the business’s hands -allowing businesses to generate their own electricity at the site of their operations. Mitochondria’s 50 kW fuel cell is easily scalable to meet energy demands and is suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial, manufacturing and mining.

Benefits of Mitochondria’s 50kW Fuel Cells

• High efficiency: Converts hydrogen into electricity efficiently, reducing energy waste and providing higher efficiencies of up to 60%.
• Low emissions: Zero carbon emissions when running on hydrogen.
• Reliable and scalable: Fuel cells can be scaled up or down to meet the energy demands of an organisation and operate 24/7 reducing reliance on electricity supply from the grid.
• Low maintenance: The efficient and clean electrochemical process allows for lower maintenance. Each fuel cell has a 20-year lifespan.
• Locally developed: All Intellectual Property is developed and owned by Mitochondria in South Africa.
• Compact design: Fuel cells come in a secure, containerised system that is easy to install on-site and has a small footprint.
