Fuel Cells in the Water Industry
The Challenge
The UK water industry is under increasing pressure to meet government-mandated environmental and performance targets. These include reducing carbon emissions, tightening environmental monitoring, and strengthening energy resilience. Regulators also require near real-time data on water quality, leakage, and energy use to improve transparency and enable rapid response to incidents. This move toward digital monitoring and automation is driving higher power demands, which solar alone often cannot meet. Without a reliable backup power source, water companies risk non-compliance, financial penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruption.
The Solution
Fuel cells provide a clean, efficient, and resilient energy source to address these challenges. By delivering continuous power, they ensure that real-time monitoring systems remain online and compliant with regulatory requirements. Powered by methanol, fuel cells significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional combustion technologies and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. They produce near-zero air pollutants, require no major civil works, and offer long runtimes that minimise site visits — improving efficiency and sustainability across the sector.

We’ll be exhibiting at the WWEM Expo in September, where we’ll be focusing on our EFOY fuel cell solutions for the water, wastewater, and environmental management sectors. This will be a fantastic chance to demonstrate the versatility of fuel cell technology and its role in delivering reliable, sustainable power across diverse applications.
