Clean Energy Investments and Hy9 Establish Strategic Partnership to Provide On-Site Hydrogen Power Systems for the African Telecom Market
HOPKINTON, MA, Jan 14, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Hy9 (http://www.hy9.com), the leading provider of point-of-use, high
purity hydrogen generation products for fuel cells, and Clean Energy
Investments focused on creating viable and sustainable hydrogen
end-to-end standby power solutions for the African Market, today
announced a Strategic Partnership to facilitate the deployment of
stand-alone power systems to enable the deployment of wireless
communication systems in Africa.
Gavin Coetzer, Clean Energy Investments CEO, said, "The unique
conditions in South Africa and Africa have created a market ready for
the adoption of Hydrogen Fuels. As compressed hydrogen is not always
readily available in the majority of African countries we have
partnered with Hy9 to produce hydrogen on site for our Altergy Fuel
Cells. The integrated solution will allow us to promote fuel cells
beyond the reach of the present compressed hydrogen distribution
network."
Gary Clarke, Hy9's president and CEO, said, "Telecommunications, data
centers, and other mission-critical applications benefit greatly from
the uninterrupted, on-demand power made possible by fuel cell systems
coupled to on-site hydrogen generation. We are excited to team up
with Clean Energy Investments to bring this power system to
Sub-Saharan Africa. With their substantial knowledge of the
communications industry in Africa, Clean Energy Investments is well
positioned to meet the requirements of customers requiring cost
effective, reliable power."
Hy9 and Clean Energy Investments will work together to integrate fuel
cell stationary power systems with Hy9's HGS on-site hydrogen
generators for turnkey backup power systems suitable for African
markets including locations with no grid power. The Hy9 fuel
processor, or reformer, converts a liquid fuel, in this case methanol
and water, into hydrogen for use with fuel cell power systems
eliminating the nearly constant supply of hydrogen cylinders required
for off-grid locations.
