- fuel cell
A fuel cell is a device that converts the energy of fuel into direct
current (DC) electrical energy without the need for combustion. A conventional
power plant produces electricity by burning a fossil fuel that turns a
generator. Fuel cells bypass the combustion and generating processes by simply
converting hydrogen to electricity, in a similar way as a battery. Fuel cells
not only offer an efficient means of generating electricity from fossil fuels,
but also have very low emissions. Up to 80 percent of the energy obtained from
fuel can be converted to usable electric power and heat compared with about 35
percent from a central power plant.
