A fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen or another fuel to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity. If hydrogen is the fuel, electricity, water, and heat are the only products. Fuel cells are unique in terms of the variety of their potential applications they can provide power for systems as large as a utility power station and as small as a laptop computer.Fuel cells can be used in a wide range of applications, including transportation, material handling, stationary, portable, and emergency backup power applications

Dr. Opu completed his PhD from University of South Carolina and currently working as MEA & Stack development scientist at Oorja Fuel Cell. Previously Dr. Opu worked at Purdue University and NREL where he investigated specific materials, designs, and testing/diagnostics for the development of high and low temperature proton exchange fuel cells.
