Michigan Fuel Cell Manufacturer Adaptive Energy Receives Global Innovation Award

Representing Adaptive Energy was CEO Michael Edison, a veteran of the clean energy movement. His presentation highlighted how SOFCs enable greater use of alternative energy for critical infrastructure.

“At Adaptive Energy, our goal is to increase the reliability of critical low-watt infrastructure while reducing its carbon impact,” Edison said. “Remote sites often lack reliable access to grid power, so alternative energy sources like wind and solar are vital. But when harsh weather interrupts power production, this critical infrastructure can fail. That’s where our propane fuel cells come into play.”

The need for reliable backup and offgrid power is what also led major railway partner RedHawk Energy Systems, LLC to place their largest order to date, in December.

“This is our second consecutive major order from Adaptive Energy this year,” said Matt Ulrich, Rail Sales for RedHawk Energy Systems. “Our rail customers love the simplicity and low maintenance needs of the P250i. Instead of babysitting legacy gas/diesel generators that require constant refueling and routine maintenance, the P250i can provide days, weeks and even months of reliable power with minimal personnel involvement.”
