INOCEL is completing the development of its INOCEL Z300-S next-generation fuel cell system that exceeds the announced performance targets.

Energy generation technology meeting the decarbonization challenges of INOCEL customers
 In the face of increasing global energy needs and the urgency of the energy transition, INOCEL is taking up the challenge of providing reliable, high-performance technology that meets the challenges of reducing its customers’ carbon footprint. The transition from fossil fuels to renewables requires power generation systems that can operate in a variety of environments, deliver high power, and ensure optimal efficiency. The INOCEL products represent a turning point for stationary energy generation, offering a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

Saint-Egrève, France – November 28, 2024, INOCEL, an innovative player in the energy sector, is proud to announce the completion of the development of its INOCEL Z300-S fuel cell to meet growing clean energy needs in a context of global warming.

A disruptive technology to decarbonize target uses
Designed to meet the current and future needs of companies seeking to reduce their environmental impact, this fuel cell system addresses a variety of use cases, such as:

  • Mobile generators, needed for sites not connected to the electricity grid or requiring additional power, to replace diesel generators and batteries;
  • Emergency power generation for critical industrial and tertiary infrastructure such as data centers, hospitals, operating buildings and banks;
  • Electrification of docks (cold ironing) to limit greenhouse gas emissions in ports, particularly for ships;
  • Storage of intermittent renewable energies in the form of hydrogen and then their reuse at the customer’s request;
  • Power system load shedding and balancing.

 “We are delighted to announce the finalization of the development and the imminent launch of the production of this cutting-edge technology that embodies our commitment to a sustainable energy transition,” says Jules BILLIET CEO of INOCEL. “The fuel cell will meet the growing needs for clean energy and support various sectors such as stationary power generation with INOCEL Z300-S now, maritime with INOCEL Z300-M in 2025, and then onshore heavy mobility in the longer term with INOCEL Z300-G.”

 Performance that delivers real change
The performance of the INOCEL Z300-S fuel cell meets the target applications with: 

  • A unit power of 300 kW allowing real scaling;
  • A modular and “plug and play” design, allowing an unlimited increase in power;
  • More than 60% efficiency, exceeding expectations, offering a cost of use that is competitive with diesel;
  • Ability to operate anywhere, anytime;
  • Unparalleled reactivity with a full power rise of the system in less than 2 seconds drastically reducing the need for hybridization batteries.

 Launch Schedule and Availability
The first units of the INOCEL Z300-S fuel cell system will be available to key strategic customers and partners as of December 2024. Expanded commercial distribution is planned for mid-2025, enabling companies to engage effectively in the transition to renewable energy.
