March 10 , 2020 1595 days 962 0
  • Scientists at the International Advanced Research for Powder Metallurgy & New Materials (ARCI), Hyderabad have developed polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems ranging in power from 1 kW to 20 kW.
  • ARCI is an autonomous R&D facility under the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
  • PEMFCs are also known as proton-exchange membrane fuel cells.
  • They operate at low temperatures.
  • Fuel cell systems provide sustainable electricity using hydrogen gas without the need for grid power, as required by conventional battery backup systems.
  • This makes them highly useful for applications such as emergency operation centers, which need to respond immediately in emergency situations.
