US Senators... have secured as much as $5. 5 million... for a military program which will enable the Plug Power Company in Latham to develop clean and efficient electricity though an electro-chemical process called Proton Exchange Membrane(PEM) fuel cell technology. PEM fuel cell systems produce electricity by operating on hydrocarbon fuels such as natural gas, propane, and other types of hydrogen-rich fuel while producing nearly zero emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide. 2, record 1, English, - proton%20exchange%20membrane%20fuel%20cell%20technology

Les piles à combustible convertissent l'énergie en électricité selon un procédé électrochimique. Le système auquel travaille Hydrogenics, que l'on a appelé « captage de l'énergie des piles à combustible », produit de l'électricité en recourant à la technologie de la pile à combustible à membrane d'échange de protons (MEP) alimentée au gaz naturel. [...] La technologie de la pile à combustible est l'une des options énergétiques les plus prometteuses au plan de la réduction des émissions de dioxyde de carbone, un des principaux gaz à effet de serre. Les piles à combustible utilisent une énergie propre, fonctionnent à basse température et sont extrêmement efficaces et fiables 2, record 1, French, - technologie%20de%20la%20pile%20%C3%A0%20combustible%20%C3%A0%20membrane%20%C3%A9changeuse%20de%20protons
