Once developed, products will be brought to market for portable and stationary power generation, the company said.
Bing Energy also said the applications will range from temporary emergency power backup for commercial and residential uses, particularly useful in hurricane-prone areas like Florida, to peak leveling and industrial power generation.
Bing Energy’s two-year subcontract stems from a grant UCF recently received from the Department of Energy to assist in the Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Technologies program, Multi-year Research, Development and Demonstration Plan.
Under the contract, Bing Energy is responsible for developing high-performance 4cm x 4cm membrane electrode assemblies and a 500W stack prototype using the advantages of the buckypaper -based solution.
