Advancing UN Sustainable Development Goals
SDG 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for allIn alignment with SDG 7, GenCell’s fuel cells support the transition of the global economy to clean, efficient and sustainable sources of energy. We mobilize our scientific know-how, technological expertise and innovation to increase the share of renewables in the global energy mix and the rate of improvement of energy efficiency. Looking ahead, GenCell invests in new technologies to expand the hydrogen economy with the clear aim of making possible clean, affordable electrification for all.
SDG 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impactsIn alignment with SDG 13, our fuel cells are the selfsame tools that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters around the world. We invest considerable efforts to encourage climate change mitigation, adaptation and impact reduction. Our failsafe, renewable power sources improve conditions during climate-related weather events, support first responders and emergency service providers in delivering assistance during crises and eliminate GHG emissions to reduce risk of future disasters.
GenCell Energy as a manufacturer of industrial fuel cell equipment endeavors to fully comply with rigorous Quality Assurance and Sustainability Objectives and best practices throughout the production lifecycle, from design through production through to equipment retirement. During our production operations, GenCell is committed to safe and sustainable processes, including:
A third-party supplier separates the metals from other materials consumed during our manufacturing processes and recycles them for reuse.
GenCell monitors the safe disposal of the Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte, the liquid solution in which the electrodes are suspended in the fuel cell. Throughout the production process, GenCell tests the electrolyte for reuse and consumption. After continuous reuse, when the solution cannot be further reused, it is safely disposed of in compliance with strict standards for disposal of Hazardous Materials.
GenCell uses a closed-loop manufacturing process to produce hydrogen from water in a clean electrolysis process that emits no pollutants whatsoever.
In our production facilities, GenCell Energy monitors operations for optimal energy efficiency in the use of lighting, HVAC, production machinery, computer equipment, and operation of any and all electrical appliances and equipment.
GenCell recycles all waste materials at its production facilities, from packaging and paper goods to office supplies to employee consumables.
In our procurement system, every Purchase Order is accompanied by a Requirements Control Card in full compliance with all environmental regulations such as ROHS and REACH.
GenCell has adopted a Good Nutrition policy which has eliminated procurement of unhealthy baked goods for employees and substituted these snacks with regular supply of fresh fruit for employee snacks.
