Fuel Cells
IdaTech ElectraGen™ ME
Headquartered in Bend, Oregon - IdaTech designs, develops, and
manufactures extended run backup power fuel cell products for critical
applications. The ElectraGen™ ME is an extended run backup fuel cell power
system, available in 2.5kW and 5kW configurations that can be scaled up to
15kW. The ElectraGen™ ME includes a fuel reformer that converts methanol
and water liquid fuel (HydroPlus) into hydrogen gas to power the Fuel Cell.
Operating on HydroPlus, the ElectraGen™ ME generates its own hydrogen,
onsite and on-demand; elimating the need for delivery and storage of hydrogen.
* Extended runtimes with minimal fuel storage volume makes the
ElectraGen ME a great replacement for less reliable, noisy, maintenance
intensive diesel generators.
