Business News Major milestone for clean energy firm
Adelan, the UK’s oldest fuel cell firm, is celebrating 25 years championing a clean energy technology that is set to transform lives for the better. The Birmingham firm has been leading the
push for hydrogen technologies, offering technology and advice on decarbonisation. The company was founded on the creation of patented low-carbon technology. Adelan, whose chief executive is Dr Michaela
Kendall, a member of the Greater Birmingham Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce committee, pioneered microtubular solid oxide fuel cell (mSOFC) technology more than 30 years’ ago. Adelan’s patented and scalable technology gives the fuel cell unprecedented flexibility, allowing the system to run cleanly on a range of commonly available fuels such as LPG, natural gas or propane/butane mix. As a result, though Adelan, fuel cells can also
run on hydrogen, they offer considerable additional operational flexibility and ease of use benefits while retaining a small, compact and lightweight footprint. This world-class breakthrough allows the users
of mainstream fuels like propane and LPG, as well as hydrogen, to operate without expensive and complex reformer technology needed by alternative fuel cell designs. It means Adelan’s quiet, compact and efficient
clean energy technology can be rolled out, deployed and is in widespread use today, achieving immediate carbon reductions at competitive costs, using widely available fuels.
As a result, the UK is ready to take maximum
advantage of the new momentum to build a better world and achieve the greatest possible benefits in terms of climate change impact, air quality improvements and economic advantage. Adelan is celebrating its founding and
renowned scientist Dr Kendall is the UK Hydrogen Champion for Mission Innovation, based in the UK’s Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and has worked with the UN as well as European, US and Chinese governments.
‘With the clean energy transition now at the top of the international agenda, we’re excited to see what the next 25 years brings Adelan’
With many international alliances and success
stories under its belt, Adelan say they are proud to be based in Birmingham, making it a testament to the city’s long heritage as an industrial powerhouse. As clean energy alternatives now come into sharp focus, it sets the city up to continue its historical role in leading energy revolution, with Adelan at the fore. Dr Kendall said: “We are humbled and thrilled
for the Adelan A-Team to reach this milestone having led the hydrogen revolution for the last 25 years.
Humbled: Dr Michaela Kendall
With the clean energy transition now at the
top of the international agenda, we’re excited to see what the next 25 years brings Adelan. We see our region as the heart of the UK Green Recovery and we will work here with our international partners to create positive environmental change globally.”
