The HomeGen fuel cell will produce electricity by combining the hydrogen contained in natural gas or LPG with oxygen in the air. The system has three major components:

  1. A fuel processor extracts the hydrogen from the gas or LPG.
  2. A fuel cell changes the hydrogen to electricity.
  3. A power conditioner converts the fuel cell electricity to the type and quality of power that you use today.
