About AFC Energy
AFC Energy plc has developed and successfully demonstrated an
alkaline fuel cell system, which converts hydrogen into "clean"
electricity. AFC Energy's key project POWER-UP demonstrated the
world's largest operational alkaline fuel cell system at Air
Products' industrial gas plant in Stade, Germany in January 2016.
The Company is now looking to build upon an already established
pipeline of commercial opportunities and drive the findings from
the development phase of the technology into a technically
optimised and commercially relevant fuel cell system. For further
