Our Skills

The Fuel Cell is an existing technology for cleanly converting energy that can respond to our current energy and environmental concerns. After being used for many years in the aerospace field, its use as an industrial product is now becoming a reality.

The motivation, experience and know-how of Air Liquide's and Axane's teams have lead to the development of a unique modular technology platform offering a wide variety of multipurpose power sources from 0.5 to 10 kW ranging from portable generator to small stationary and integrate power systems.

To this end, Axane has developed product-specific skills in the fuel cell field, ranging from the cell core to auxiliary components, and sound knowledge of its market while relying on Air Liquide’s vast experience and skills covering all aspects of the cell core technology.

Skills shared between Air Liquide and Axane


Standardization and regulation...

The safety and the reliability of hydrogen for the fuel cell system in order to ensure the safe use of our products is the top priority for both Axane and Air Liquide. To this end, our teams play an active role in different standardization and regulatory bodies:

    . Technical Committee 105-Fuel Cell Technology-French mirror committee administered by the French Technical Union of
      Electricity and Communication (UTE) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

        Participation in:
           - Working Group 3 relating to the Stationary Fuel Cell System
           - Working Group 7 relating to the Portable Fuel Cell System

        Objectives:
           - Draft international standards and integrate constraints at the design stage.

    . Deployment Strategy” Steering Panels of the “European Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Technology Platform».
    . Co-leader of the “Initiative Group Regulation, Code & Standards” (IG RCS).


        Objectives:
           
- analyze the barriers in Europe to fuel cell and hydrogen deployment 
           - draw up an action plan

    . Proposal by “AFNOR / UTE” as one of the two “CEN / CENELEC” experts in fulfillment of mandate M / 349 “Hydrogen and fuel cells” of
     the European Commission for the evaluation of regulations, European and world standards on Hydrogen and the Fuel Cell.

        Objectives:
           
- assess the state of European and worldwide regulations and analyze the curbs on the development of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen.

«Every year since 2001 we have set up projects for the design of innovative products: after POLAR PAC ™ and ROLLER PAC ™, this year we are offering a new product range which will adapt to your mobile or stationary application. For each project, we mobilize the expertise of our professionals not only on the technical issues but also on the contexts in which the final applications will be used and the safety issues they raise. Organizing our developments in projects allows us to meet the expectations of our most varied customers in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost.»
