In these cases, a fuel cell system is worthwhile

Dusseldorf Homeowners are struggling with high oil and gas prices. Many think about installing new heaters. If you are currently looking to modernize your system or reduce your energy costs, you will often come across the so-called fuel cell heating system during the first search.

In contrast to classic oil or gas heating, which simply burns a fossil raw material, fuel cell heating is less well known and less intuitive to understand. But what potential does the system have?

“The fuel cell is efficient and flexible,” says Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, head of the hydrogen association Hydrogen Europe. “Anyone who is already thinking for their children is installing a fuel cell heating system.”

His vision: In the future, fuel cell heating systems could be operated with green hydrogen, which in turn was generated with electricity from renewable energies. “Without hydrogen, we won’t be able to achieve the heat transition,” says Chatzimarkakis.
