ChevronTexaco processor for fuel cell test

Canada?s Greenlight Power Technologies has chosen to use a ChevronTexaco Technology Ventures fuel processor, which generates hydrogen from natural gas or propane, in its fuel cell testing station. The HALIAS hydrocarbon fuel processor has a compact single-reactor design, an integrated anode tail gas oxidiser and a proprietary control systems architecture. Greenlight?s fuel cell testing station is part of a Vancouver-based demonstration programme named Fuel Cells Canada. Greenlight will integrate the HALIAS fuel processor into a demonstration Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. “Demonstrations such as these are important in order to continue to address the challenges in providing the fuel necessary to power fuel cells and provide fuel cell solutions that will meet customers needs for performance, efficiency and cost effectiveness,” says Greg Romney, vice president of fuel cells and fuel processing for ChevronTexaco Technology Ventures.
