- Organisation Description
Siemens is a European-based electronics and industrial company with operations worldwide in the automation and control, information and communications, lighting, medical, power, and transportation sectors.
Siemens began its fuel cell research program in 1962, initially focusing on AFC. In 1984, the company successfully implemented a 100kW fuel cell into a German Navy submarine. Since 1988, the company has shown interest in SOFC which led to the first 10kW demonstration unit in 1998. In the same year, Siemens acquired the fossil power plant business and tubular SOFC technology from Westinghouse which concluded to the foundation of Siemens Westinghouse, now one of the leading stationary fuel cell manufacturers.
Beside its focus on SOFC technology and stationary application, Siemens has also shown interest in PEM technology. Together with partners, such as Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft, Linde and MAN, the company is involved in various transportation (bus and submarine) projects.
