The certifications represent an important safety and regulatory compliance milestone that favors the commercial expansion of fixed electrical generators in North America
/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Toyota Hydrogen Solutions announced today that its fuel cells have achieved ANSI/CSA FC 1 and ANSI/CSA FC 6 certifications, bringing them closer to widespread adoption for use in stationary electric generators.
These certifications are an important milestone that validates the specific safety and compliance standards established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the CSA Group, an international standards organization based in Canada.
Toyota Hydrogen Solutions Achieves Key Certifications for Commercial Fuel Cell Units
Hydrogen fuel cells offer a much greener solution than traditional internal combustion electric generators. These can relieve overburdened power grids and bolster critical infrastructure, such as hospitals.
“With the achievement of ANSI/CSA FC 1 and FC 6 certifications for our Toyota stationary generator fuel cells, the barriers to adoption are now much lower,” said Thibaut de Barros Conti, vice president of Toyota Hydrogen Solutions. “These rigorous certifications will give customers peace of mind when it comes time to invest in greener power generation solutions for their businesses.”
Toyota has been developing fuel cells for decades and has recently begun to expand their uses in stationary electrical generators, port and commercial transportation equipment, among others. Fuel cells work by combining gaseous hydrogen and oxygen through an electrochemical process to produce electricity, generating water vapor as a discharge.
Stationary fuel cell generators often have fewer restrictions on use than internal combustion generators because they emit no carbon where they are used and have lower levels of noise emissions. Since fuel cells are typically allowed to be used without interruption as long as they have a fuel source, they can serve as a resource to help control electrical surges by reinforcing the electrical grid and reducing voltage, or they can even serve as a remote power source in off-grid areas, such as disaster response sites or remote facilities.
Last year at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo Toyota announced its collaboration with Rehlko (formerly Kohler Energy), one of the world’s leading energy resilience companies, to supply Toyota fuel cells to power 1 MW generators. From consulting to system development and integration, Toyota Hydrogen Solutions is well positioned to deliver tested and fit fuel cells, as well as a disciplined approach to safety and quality, in offering solutions for organizations seeking to reduce their carbon emissions.
