SFC Energy AG and its strategic partner FC TecNrgy (FCT) Pvt Ltd. win another major order from the Indian Ministry of Defence for stationary fuel cell generators
2023-05-30 09:07:12, SFC Energy AG The order covers the supply of the systems over a period of one year as well as their servicing and maintenance over a period of five years. The initial order volume amounts to more than EUR 17.5 million. The fuel cell solutions will be assembled by SFC’s Indian subsidiary SFC Energy India Ltd. and FCT at the new production facility in Gurgaon, Haryana (India). This order follows the earlier major order from the Indian Defence Force for the delivery of 450 portable methanol fuel cell systems with a volume of more than EUR 16 million, announced on March 6, 2023.
The stationary fuel cell solutions produce clean electricity and can be used by infantry and special forces units for parallel charging of multiple batteries and for powering sensors, monitoring and communication systems and basic field electrification. Their use is often in remote areas, at high altitudes and under extreme climatic conditions. SFC Energy’s variable power solutions are highly reliable, easy to transport, and feature economical consumption of the fuel methanol.
The Indian government is increasingly looking to replace fossil fuel-based polluting energy systems such as diesel generators with sustainable energy solutions in order to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. The order for the stationary fuel cell generators is part of the Indian government’s “Make in India” initiative.
