Gencell and Vodafone demonstrate liquid Ammonia powered mobile phone tower in Romania

GenCell Energy and SIMTEL have deployed an ammonia-based off-grid power solution field test at a mobile telecom tower site in Romania, operated by Vodafone.

The GenCell FOX is a low-temperature alkaline fuel cell which generates power from liquid ammonia – one of the most effective and energy-dense carbon-free hydrogen carriers – with only water, nitrogen and heat as its by–products. The solution has been designed to comply with strict zero-emission sustainability objectives, ensure resilient 24/7 continuous power even in harsh weather conditions, and minimise operating expenses through its use of economical and widely available liquid ammonia fuel.
