Wednesday 9 September (11.00-12.30)
The Pros and Cons of Fuel Cells for Major Energy Users
As energy-intensive industries face increasing pressure to decarbonise while maintaining operational resilience and cost competitiveness, fuel cells are gaining attention as a potential solution for on-site power generation. Offering high electrical efficiency, lower emissions, and reliable baseload generation, fuel cells present significant opportunities for major energy users. This webinar, presented by On-Site Energy, will explore the advantages and limitations of fuel cell technologies, helping businesses understand where they may fit within wider energy and decarbonisation strategies.
