HydroGen's product offering consists of complete PAFC power plants in the 6-30 MW range, based presently on a standard building block of a 2MW "Power Island," each of which consists of five 400kW modules. To deliver the product, HydroGen engages in two distinct types of manufacturing activities: 1) the manufacturing of PAFC modules, and 2) the contracting and construction of fuel cell power plants. These are two different processes with respect to logistics, value-chain analysis, and balance between in-house activities and outsourcing / subcontracting.

HydroGen's core operational activity is the manufacturing of 400kW PAFC modules from raw materials at our Versailles, Pennsylvania manufacturing facilities. When the PAFC modules arrive in the field, they must then be incorporated with the balance-of-plant (BOP) equipment (including a complete hydrogen plant in applications without available hydrogen) to construct and operate the fuel cell power plant at the customer's site. Our BOP is standardized, state of the art equipment with very few custom-made components, a standard approach of the chemical industry (but unique in fuel cells) that should reduce cost and increase product reliability and performance. These field installation and operational tasks require a management approach similar to that in the chemical and power plant contracting businesses. A main contractor will assume, under direct management of HydroGen staff, the site responsibility for building the fuel cell power plant, and installing, testing and commissioning the complete plant at the customer site.

HydroGen has in its executive and technology management team top level staff who have rich experience in both the manufacturing and engineering contracting processes, and demonstrated organizational capabilities in these critical areas.
