Canada’s Ballard Power System is a global leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology and is working to accelerate the adoption of that technology. The company develops and manufactures PEM fuel cell products that create electrical energy from the combination of hydrogen and air. Ballard Power Systems products are designed for heavy-duty trucks, buses, trains and marine applications, as well as backup power storage.
Two of Ballard’s 200 kilowatt fuel cell modules are onboard the world’s first hydrogen-powered ferry, operated by Norwegian company Norled. The company is also supplying hydrogen fuel cell modules to global carbon reduction company First Mode, which will be used to power several hybrid hydrogen and battery ultra-class mining haul trucks.
