Rehlko sign agreement with Toyota to supply fuel cell modules

The agreement pairs Rehlko's record of delivering energy solutions that provide independence, agility, and security to mission-critical infrastructure, facilities, and residences with Toyota's proven fuel cell technology.

“Toyota is excited to work with Rehlko on helping to build strong energy solutions using our proven, scalable fuel cell technology,” said Thibaut de Barros Conti, General Manager, Toyota Hydrogen Solutions. “Integrating Rehlko's systems with Toyota's fuel cell technology has the potential to yield cleaner, reliable, and more sustainable energy that can scale based on the needs of customers and society and enable smart, energy-independent mobility for all.”

Interest in alternative fuels, like hydrogen, has surged significantly for stationary applications, including both backup and primary uses. For operators especially focused on solutions that provide zero emissions at the point of use, Rehlko plans to integrate Toyota's fuel cell technology, which can be designed and manufactured to the same operational standards as conventional generators.

The fuel cell-based generation systems can be used to power facilities, such as data centres, warehouses, and off-grid networks, as well as to help protect against weather conditions and grid overload – all while producing local emissions that consist of water and air.

“The 1 MW fuel cell generator represents a significant step forward in energy resilience for mission-critical customers. It delivers the same reliability, but helps customers meet their resilience goals by cutting local emissions to zero,” commented Charles Hunsucker, President, Power Systems at Rehlko.

Rehlko and Toyota's first collaboration was to develop and install a 100 kW hydrogen fuel cell power generation system to reinforce and back up the electrical infrastructure and secondary power generation at Klickitat Valley Health, a hospital in rural Washington State, US. Building on this project, Rehlko and Toyota have developed and engineered a commercialised 1 MW system to meet the demand for 1 MW or more, with Rehlko developing the overall system and Toyota supplying fuel cell technology.
