About ActaS.p.A.
ActaS.p.A. is a developer and manufacturer of a range of clean
energy products. Based on its world-leading expertise in alkaline
membrane technology, the Company has developed a unique range of
low-cost, compact hydrogen generators (electrolysers) which produce
pure, dry compressed hydrogen at high efficiency from renewable or
grid power.
In April 2013 Acta launched the Acta Power, an integrated
electrolyser and fuel cell system for use in back-up power and
renewable energy storage applications. Best understood as a
"Hydrogen Battery", the system converts energy from renewable or
grid power when it is available and stores it in the form of
hydrogen, and then converts the hydrogen back to electrical power
when needed due to grid black-out or lack of solar / wind
power.
This system has extensive application as a back-up power unit
for telecommunications base stations, where it competes on cost
against traditional battery and diesel solutions, while offering a
cleaner solution and better service. In particular, the use of
rainwater and the generation of hydrogen on-site removes the cost
and logistical barriers of fuel delivery, while also avoiding the
theft risk associated with diesel, methanol and battery
systems.
The supply of fuel cell back-up power systems for
telecommunications base stations represents a large and
fast-growing market, especially in extensively bad-grid and
off-grid locations such as in Asia and Africa. Battery sales to the
Chinese telecoms industry are currently valued at $4.7 bn to $7.8
bn per annum (Fuel Cell Today, China).
Acta holds a portfolio of patents and patent applications on its
key technologies, manufactures its products through a combination
of production, component subcontracting, and final product assembly
and quality control, and has established distribution channels
through partnerships in China, India, SE Asia, Australia, Africa,
Middle East, Germany, UK, USA and South America.
Acta S.p.A. is based near Pisa, Italy, and was admitted to
trading on AIM in October 2005.
