T he US Army Research Office (ARO) has awarded Massachusetts-based Protonex Technology $1m to accelerate development of its NGenβ’ hydrogenair and direct methanol fuel cell stacks for portable military applications.
Initial trials of the Protonex stacks in Army, Air Force and Navy projects have produced very positive comments about both the performance and price of the units, according to Dr Richard Paur, chief of ARO's Advanced Energy Conversion program. The new award will allow Protonex to continue development to make these units commercially viable.
Protonex has been working closely with the military since 2001 to develop long-duration power solutions for portable applications. It is in the process of commercializing a family of products in the power range from 10 to 1000 We. The company is also developing fuel cell products for remote off-grid applications.
