Fuel Cell

It is developed by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in partnership with Thermax Ltd, a Punebased engineering firm.
It is developed under the flagship program named ‘New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative (NMITLI).
It will be a 5 kW fuel cell system and will use methanol/biomethane to generate power with 70% more efficiency than other sources. About Fuel cell technology
A fuel cell is like a battery that generates electricity from an electrochemical reaction.
It uses a source of hydrogen as fuel but involves no combustion.
With the help of oxygen present in the air, oxidation of hydrogen atoms occur and in the process, electrons are released which flow through an external circuit as an electric current.
The byproducts of fuel cell include heat and water.
Fuel cells can vary from tiny devices producing only a few watts of electricity, right up to large power plants producing megawatts
