Bonn, Germany and Petah Tikva, Israel – February 21, 2022 – GenCell Energy (TASE: GNCL), the leading provider of hydrogen and ammonia to power solutions, announces today the successful completion of a joint lab test of its hydrogen-based backup (GenCell BOX™) power solution with Deutsche Telekom, one of the world’s leading integrated telecommunications companies.
This test, conducted at GenCell’s Tel Aviv facility under the supervision of Deutsche Telekom, is part of a strategic innovation cooperation between the two companies to test and validate GenCell’s zero-emission fuel cell solutions for carbon-neutral powering of Deutsche Telekom’s mobile sites.
