LPG Fuel Cell Technology

Revolutionary new fuel cell technology means the LPG Fuel Cell Boiler will transform how you power a home in the countryside. One single domestic appliance will be able to simultaneously generate heat and electricity as well as cutting annual household carbon emissions. Calor LPG is the fuel of choice for non-mains gas areas, with the lowest carbon emissions of any fossil fuel available*.

How does it work?

Each fuel cell starts life as a simple stainless steel plate perforated by thousands of tiny holes and coated with thin layers of ceramic ink. In use, air passes down one side of the plate, while fuel passes down the other. Both electricity and heat are generated through a quiet, efficient electro-chemical reaction.

A number of fuel cells are combined into a fuel cell ‘stack’, which can generate most of the power needed by a typical UK home in a year. The stack is integrated with a high-efficiency LPG boiler into a single wall-mountable unit which looks just like an ordinary boiler.

At the back there are connections for fuel, central heating, hot water and power. Your home is connected to the mains power grid as normal. Your LPG Fuel Cell Boiler can be connected to your existing heating controls and will even look after you in a power cut.
