Our Fuel Cells

Urinergy specializes in producing direct glycerine fuel cells, which represent a cutting-edge solution for sustainable energy generation. These advanced cells efficiently harness power from glycerine, a liquid organic compound, which serves as a clean and abundant fuel source. In a direct glycerine fuel cell, glycerine undergoes an electrochemical reaction to produce electricity without the need for reforming. This environmentally friendly process is emissions-free, making it a green and clean energy solution.

The conversion of glycerine into electricity takes place through a series of chemical reactions within the cell. Glycerine is oxidized to generate electrons and protons, initiating the electricity generation process. Electrons travel through an external circuit, creating a flow of electrical energy, while protons migrate through a polymer electrolyte membrane within the fuel cell. The separation of electrons and protons is a fundamental step in generating electricity. Protons that pass through the membrane combine with oxygen to produce water at the cathode.

Urinergy's direct glycerine fuel cells offer a reliable, continuous energy source that can power various applications. Thanks to glycerine's availability and sustainability, this technology provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy generation solution. The company's innovative approach ensures maximum energy conversion efficiency, positioning direct glycerine fuel cells as a promising source of clean energy for the future. Urinergy's dedication to sustainable energy solutions drives the development and global adoption of these cutting-edge fuel cells.
