MOBIPOWER-200K
Methanol-to-Hydrogen Fuel Cell + 200 kW Clean Power
Clean diesel genset replacement
About MOBIPOWER-200K
The MOBIPOWER-200K is a 20 ft containerized power plant that produces
hydrogen on site from methanol and water, converts it through a 200 kW
PEM fuel cell, buffers output with a 96 kWh nickel-zinc battery, and delivers
480 V 3-phase power or DC fast charging. Drop and play, no foundations,
no permanent infrastructure, and scalable to multi-megawatt sites by
adding units.
Methanol is what makes it practical. It is liquid at ambient temperature, the
densest hydrogen carrier available, and it stores and trucks like diesel. No
compressed or liquefied hydrogen logistics, no boil-off, and the lowest cost
per kilogram of hydrogen delivered (US DOE). Its flammability profile sits
closer to diesel than to gaseous hydrogen, and distribution is already in
place across North America.
