Dantherm Power Fuel cell solutions for heat and power

Dantherm Power Since 2003 Dantherm Power has focused on the development and production of solutions using hydrogen and fuel cell technology. Today we market and sell highly efficient backup power units for the telecom sector, and we are currently testing and demonstrating Micro Combined Heat and Power units, which will be a major source of heat and power production in the near future.
