A type of fuel cell that uses a solid ceramic material as its electrolyte. It operates at high temperatures and can utilize various fuels including natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen.

Fuel cells that use methane as a fuel source instead of hydrogen to generate electricity efficiently.

Traditional ancillary device used to convert methane and water into hydrogen fuel for conventional fuel cells. The new Georgia Tech fuel cell eliminates the need for this equipment.

Development of a novel methane fuel cell with a new catalyst that operates at lower temperatures (approximately 500°C) and generates hydrogen directly from methane without requiring a steam reformer.

A fuel cell device approximately the size of a shoebox that runs on methane (natural gas) at approximately 500°C, generating electricity for distributed power generation in homes and businesses.
