Adaptive Energy offers propane-powered solid oxide fuel cell

Adaptive Energy’s Performer Series P250i is a propane-powered solid oxide fuel cell that provides low-watt backup or off-grid power in remote, harsh conditions. It integrates with wind, solar or other alternative technologies because of its fuel efficiency: One 20-pound propane tank provides eight hours of runtime. P250i can operate in temperatures from minus 40 degrees C to 50 degrees C, so it excels in extreme cold. It is highly durable due to the proprietary microtubular stack that provides built-in redundancy, says Adaptive Energy. These benefits plus the availability of propane make P250i ideal power for off-grid locations where fuel must be airlifted.
