Smart and sustainable energy

Cellen produce a modular high-performance renewable energy source based on hydrogen fuel cells, to be used as batteries in electric vehicles

Long description

Mexico’s cities have significant problems caused by air pollution from CO₂ emitting vehicles operating in traffic-ridden roads, as well as from tons of post-consumer plastic and other waste.

To address these problems, we propose building hydrogen fuel cells to power low and medium-speed electric vehicles, such as bicycles and motorcycles. When hydrogen is used as an energy source, its only outputs are water and heat, making it a carbon neutral fuel. We plan to obtain hydrogen through a pyrolysis process, converting plastic waste into hydrogen. This incorporates plastic that would otherwise probably end in a landfill into our production process.

Our hydrogen fuel cells offer a greater autonomy range with lower battery weight, shorter charging times, and an efficient recycling process, at a competitive price vis-a-vis lithium-ion and lead batteries.

We aim to use Mexican developed technology to provide innovative options for smart mobility without pollution, while encouraging the reuse of waste.

We expect to have an impact in the cities’ chaotic transportation systems that are ripe for disruption.
