CFCT has been at the forefront of PEMFC development in the country. The Centre has developed process know-how for the various components used in the fuel cell stacks and built fuel cell stacks of capacity up to 20 kW. The Centre has demonstrated the application of fuel cells in decentralized power generation as power packs and range extenders in electric vehicles. CFCT is also engaged in R&D activities related to fuel cells, hydrogen generation, hydrogen storage, Zn based batteries, supercapacitors and modeling.
