POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Ballard Power is a leading global provider of innovative clean energy and fuel cell solutions, founded in 1979 to conduct research on high-energy lithium batteries – developing their first fuel stack in 1986 which operated on pressurized air.
By 1990, Ballard created a 5kW fuel stack combining hydrogen with battery power, eventually evolving into a 90kW fuel engine for transit buses by 1992 for use in Vancouver.
Fast forward to 2020 and Ballard has developed high performance fuel cell modules for a variety of applications including heavy-duty motive and marine.
