In environments in which a grid connection is difficult to realize, power supply relies on independent sources of energy. Whether as a single generating unit or in combination with photovoltaic and wind, our fuel cells are the economical alternative to conventional generators. Low-maintenance operation and customer-specific tank solutions give you a competitive edge in locations that are hardly accessible. Remote monitoring and control grant you constant access to your energy system. And in scenarios with special requirements regarding environmental regulation, our fuel cells ensure a reliable power supply through clean and silent operation.
Backup power
simple. economical. reliable.
For generators, high availability usually implies high cost of maintenance. This is critical, especially in backup power solutions. Fuel cells require little to no maintenance, which reduces operating costs enormously. As a pure substance, methanol does not degrade over time. Expenditure for regular fuel exchange – as with diesel – is thus eliminated. In case of a power outage, the battery within the system covers the immediate load. In the following, our Ecoport guarantees a reliable power supply of critical infrastructure and data centers over several hours.
Mobility
compact. simple. efficient.
Whether purely electric or equipped with a combustion engine: air conditioning, radio, and other electrical devices on board of vehicles need energy. While for combustion engines this results in a running motor even at times when the vehicle is at a standstill, the range of electric cars is limited severely by the increasing demand for electric energy. As an auxiliary power unit (APU), the Ecoport creates independence for longer distances. With liquid methanol being refueled quickly and easily, any type of electric application can be operated without further reduction in range.
Fuel cell applications
To safeguard critical infrastructure during power outages or as a low-emission generator for remote locations and construction sites: Our fuel cells are already deployed in a wide range of industrial and business applications.

Off-grid energy during the construction phase of wind parks
An uninterrupted power supply is a fundamental part concerning the planning and execution process of many construction projects. The obstruction lights of wind farms, for example, require a continuous power supply before the turbines are connected to the grid.
To ensure a smooth transition, most operators rely on diesel and petrol generators. However, such means of power do not only emit noise and pollution, but are also expensive in operation – especially at relatively low loads. Costs for maintenance and regular refueling place an immense burden on operators.
With our fuel cell technology, we offer an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to conventional generators. Through efficient operation with methanol, you can save up to 70% on fuel costs. The low maintenance requirement further reduces working hours and lowers construction costs – all year around.
Energy for measuring stations and traffic surveillance.
Whether for collecting data in remote regions or temporary monitoring of traffic conditions: in environments where a grid connection is difficult to realize, independent power sources are necessary to ensure a reliable supply of electricity.
In this context, solar battery systems or conventional generators usually come into play. As a consequence, operators are often confronted with a fundamental problem: due to changes in weather conditions, it is hardly possible to achieve a supply reliability of 100 % with pure photovoltaic systems. Generators can be used at all times, but work inefficiently and uneconomically especially at low loads. Besides noise and exhaust gases, the high maintenance requirements in remote regions become an additional problem.
The SIQENS Ecoport 800 is the ideal mix of reliable and clean power supply. Whether as a single fuel cell or our EcoCabinet plug-and-play system, our solutions are easy to integrate and ready for immediate use. Thanks to remote monitoring, you never lose your application out of sight. The robust design guarantees low-maintenance operation in all climate zones.

Power supply of radio and telecommunication towers.
From alpine regions to islands, jungles and deserts – mobile phone sites are often located in remote areas. Independent of issues pertaining to the basic supply of electricity or regular maintenance, the difficult access presents telecommunication operators with enormous difficulties.
Diesel generators are usually used for power supply, often in combination with solar and wind. Besides environmental aspects such as the emission of noise and exhaust gases, this approach has proven to be impractical and costly, especially with regard to maintenance. Although renewable energies are considered to be an economical alternative, weather-related gaps in supply are still hard to overcome.
Our fuel cell technology replaces conventional generators with a clean and efficient power source. Standard liquid methanol as a fuel thereby saves up to 70% in costs, while being simple and unproblematic to handle. With remote maintenance and customer-specific tank solutions, system autonomy of several months can be achieved without any problems – even in extreme weather conditions.
