<\/p>\n

The Beta System will now be used primarily for testing and development work in support of commercialization.<\/p>\n

“This is a significant milestone for AFC Energy<\/a>. Commissioning of the Beta System is the culmination of two years\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 work by our dedicated team and is a remarkable achievement. It puts us well on our way to delivering a low-cost, low-carbon alternative to conventional electricity generation.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Ian Balchin, AFC Energy’s Executive Deputy Chairman.<\/p>\n

AFC Energy works with waste hydrogen applications, which it says removes a significant hurdle for fuel cell<\/a> companies when sourcing hydrogen. It also takes away transport difficulties and costs. It targets companies that are simply “venting” the hydrogen into the air and helps them to generate a revenue from a waste product.<\/p>\n

The announcement follows the completion of the Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study that AFC Energy announced onAugust 8th . The final stage of the commissioning process was a demonstration of electrical power generation. <\/p>\n
