SFC Energy and Wolftank Group cooperate on climate-neutral emergency power supply by hydrogen fuel cells for critical infrastructure and hydrogen refueling stations
Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, March 15, 2022 – SFC Energy AG (F3C:DE, ISIN: DE0007568578), a leading supplier of hydrogen and methanol fuel cells for stationary and mobile hybrid power solutions, is further expanding its partner network.
Today, the company enters into a cooperation with the Austrian Wolftank Group from Innsbruck (Wolftank-Adisa Holding AG, WAH, ISIN: AT0000A25NJ6).
Specifically, both partners are addressing applications in the field of emergency power generators for critical infrastructures – including gas utilities, telecom infrastructure and hydrogen refueling stations – in Italy and Austria. As a leading expert in environmental technology and as a general contractor in the construction of refueling facilities, Wolftank has in-depth know-how in system integration and the necessary interface technology in the field of hydrogen production, transport and storage as well as complete solutions for hydrogen refueling stations. SFC Energy contributes its innovative strength as well as many years of experience in hydrogen fuel cells. In the long term, replacing the existing grid replacement systems with hydrogen and EFOY H2Cabinet has the potential to generate 10 MW for current target customers. In March 2022, both partners will install a first pilot project in Italy.
The combination of the innovative Wolftank Smart Cartridge, a special hydrogen tank for supplying fuel cell systems, and SFC Energy’s EFOY H2Cabinet as an emission-free grid backup system is designed to make emergency power supply climate neutral. The complete system consisting of energy generator and energy storage replaces the lead accumulators and diesel generators that have been in use up to now. Compared to lead-acid batteries, hydrogen fuel cells by SFC Energy have a much longer lifetime and are recyclable at a very high rate of up to 95%. In contrast, the lead accumulators used to date pose a significant environmental risk if not disposed of properly. At the same time, users can not only improve their carbon footprint compared to diesel generators, but also reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) through lower maintenance.
“With the acceleration of the energy transition, the need for clean and sustainable alternatives to conventional (emergency) power supply for critical infrastructure is increasing almost daily. Hydrogen and the associated fuel cell technology are the necessary tools in the transformation process towards global climate neutrality. In our cooperation we combine Wolftank’s expertise in hydrogen supply and storage as well as excellent market access and service competence with our leading and market proven technology in industrial fuel cell solutions. Once again we see great potentials which we want to leverage together with our partner”, says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG.
“We need to act decisively and rethink the appropriate energy sources across application and industry boundaries. Now both companies are focusing their strengths. We combine SFC Energy’s leading position in stationary fuel cell systems with Wolftank’s decades of experience in hydrogen refueling systems, environmental engineering and system integration. In this way, we are taking our customers decisively further along the path to a future that is not only climate-neutral, but emission-free,” says Dr. Peter Werth, CEO of the Wolftank Group.
