Business Summary
Ballard Power Systems, Inc. develops and commercializes proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and fuel cell systems. A PEM fuel cell is an environmentally clean power generator, which combines hydrogen fuel (which can be obtained from methanol, natural gas or petroleum) with oxygen (from air), without combustion, to produce electricity, with pure water and heat as the only byproducts. It is an electrochemical device that produces electricity efficiently, and continuously, as long as fuel is supplied. Along with its alliance partners, the Company is developing PEM fuel cell and PEM fuel cell system products for applications in the transportation, stationary power and portable markets.
