Proton Exchange Membrane
Operate at about 200 Degrees F., which makes it ideal for vehicles.
Has a high power density.
Can vary their output quickly to meet shifts in power demand.
They are lighter and more compact than other fuel cells.
Work well in applications that require a quick start-up.
Are candidates for light-duty vehicles, for buildings, and for smaller applications.
Notes:
A PEM fuel cell uses a simple chemical process to combine hydrogen and oxygen into water, producing an electric current in the process.
