Israeli Startup GenCell Secures $4.4M Order for Hydrogen-Based Backup Power Units in Mexico
Key Ideas
  • GenCell has received a $4.4 million order from CFE in Mexico for its hydrogen-based backup power units.
  • The REX units provide zero-emission power during grid outages with minimal maintenance, aiding CFE's distribution network resilience.
  • GenCell's technology converts liquid ammonia into clean hydrogen gas to generate electricity stored in fuel cells.
Israeli clean energy startup, GenCell, based in Petah Tikva, has been awarded a $4.4 million order by Mexico's largest utility, Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), for their hydrogen and ammonia-based backup power units. GenCell's REX units, designed for quick deployment during grid outages, will be rolled out across Mexico to enhance CFE's network resilience. The technology converts liquid ammonia into hydrogen gas to produce electricity stored in fuel cells. GenCell's CEO, Rami Reshef, expressed pride in continuing the partnership and contributing to CFE's transition to clean, reliable energy. The project aims to set an example for utilities in North America to fortify their systems with clean and failsafe backup power amidst climate disruptions.
