FDI Energy, Inc. Breakthrough Fuel Cells

The Realization of a 100 Year Old Promise


FDI has accumulated more than 25 years of Strategic Planning, Global Market Penetration, Advanced Product Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization Expertise along with an Award Winning Track Record in the Automotive , Microelectronics, Semiconductors, Energy, Construction/Infrastructure Development, Environmental Protection, Defense, etc. Sectors.

In 1995, the U.S. DOE invited FDI to join a team of industry and national laboratory experts in assessing the potential for fuel cell technology commercialization. FDI’s conclusion pointed to A Significant “Disconnect” Between Laboratory Born Prototypes and the Industrial World Requirements and Practices Associated with Building, Testing/Validation and Manufacturing of Commercially Viable Products.

A new approach was necessary in order to enable broad commercialization of fuel cells…

This is what jumpstarted FDI’s 20 year long, Internally Funded Fuel Cell Research and Development Program that led to a series of Patented Breakthrough FDI Fuel Cells (PEMFC, SOFC & DMFC) DMFC) optimized for Low Cost Manufacture and Applications Across a Multitude of Markets.

FDI -‐ Brief History


Due to growing concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and their environmental impacts, combined with renewed interest in harnessing domestic natural gas reserves and renewable fuel sources, more effort is now being directed towards Generating Clean, Reliable Power.

The Problem


CATHODE: O2 + 4e- + 4H + → 2H2O

ANODE: 2H2 → 4H+ + 4e-

ELECTROLYTE

H+ IONS

LOAD

WATER VAPOR

(EXHAUST)

OXYGEN (AIR)

HYDROGEN (FUEL)

Fuel Cells use Hydrogen derived from natural gas, gasoline, other fossil fuels, biofuels, industrial waste gases, landfill, plant and animal waste, water, etc. to generate electricity reliably, efficiently, and cost effectively, while drastically reducing air pollution. Fuel cells combine Hydrogen & Air to produce Electricity & Water Vapor

The Ultimate Solution


FDI has developed and patented a series of Breakthrough “Fuel Cells Designed for Manufacturability/Low Cost Mass-‐Production (targeted manufactured costs are comparable to those of producing combustion engines); The simplified, compact, modular/scalable power output construction, enables ease of maintenance, high reliability and a multitude of applications (can power cars, homes, businesses, watercraft, aircraft, light rail, tools, computers, cell phones, etc.)
