The methanol fuel cell already offers its customers a variety of application possibilities with high degrees of flexibility. Long installation permits, logistic or noise problems as well as high space requirements that are required by other existing self-sufficient energy sources are a thing of the past with the use of a HYREF fuel cell.

Until now, many organizations that rely on an infrastructure-independent and continuous power supply have relied on diesel generators, but these have proven to be high-maintenance and result in significant carbon emissions. In addition, the generators cannot be used in protected areas due to high noise and vibration levels and require a lot of diesel.

This is where HYREF offers smart fuel cell technologies that are off-grid yet environmentally friendly, providing continuous power generation to support customers in remote locations.

The company's solution is independent of infrastructural as well as climatic conditions and is free from noise and vibration for use in any environment, offering sustainable economic benefits and savings.

With a proven lifetime of 20,000 operating hours in a lifetime test with a realistic dynamic load profile, HYREF is now launching its direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) system.

HYREF uses methanol or preferably biomethanol according to customer requirements to produce hydrogen on demand instead of using hydrogen directly, this helps overcome the challenges of storage and logistics. 

With HYREF's methanol fuel cell technology, customers can implement mobile or stationary mobile towers or other off-grid applications in an ad-hoc manner without having to wait for lengthy regulatory approval processes, creating high value for their customers. The company's solution is flexible in use and can be deployed anywhere, including forests and nature reserves. In addition, the HYREF fuel cell requires little space and can be easily transported from one location to another.

The company's technology has helped Deutsche Telekom, for example, test a new way to provide continuous environmentally friendly power to cell towers in a sustainable way, reducing setup time from years to months.
