Often mentioned with · Technologies

Utilized to power the green hydrogen and clean ammonia production system, leveraging the consistent Atlantic winds in Placentia Bay.

Methane-fueled fuel cells

Fuel cell systems adapted to use methane gas as the fuel source rather than pure hydrogen, making them suitable for the Naledi Trust project.

Thin-film solar cells

Solar cells created using a thin-film technology that employs inexpensive materials such as zinc and iron instead of costly materials like iridium. IBM's process demonstrated conversion efficiency of 9.6% in 2010.
