Toyota fuel cells receive safety certifications for commercial use

Toyota Hydrogen Solutions announced that its fuel cells have earned ANSI/CSA FC 1 and ANSI/CSA FC 6 certification for stationary power generator applications. The certifications validate safety and compliance standards set by the American National Standards Institute and CSA Group.

The certifications apply to Toyota's stationary fuel cell power generators, which the company positions as alternatives to traditional internal combustion generators. These units combine hydrogen and oxygen through an electrochemical process to produce electricity, with water vapor as the only exhaust.

"With our stationary Toyota fuel cell earning ANSI/CSA FC 1 and FC 6 certifications, there's now a significantly lower barrier to adoption," said Thibaut de Barros Conti, vice president of Toyota Hydrogen Solutions.

Stationary fuel cell generators typically face fewer operational restrictions than traditional generators due to zero carbon emissions at the point of use and reduced noise levels. They can operate continuously with an available fuel source, making them suitable for peak shaving to support electrical grids or as remote power sources.

Toyota (NYSE: TM) previously announced a collaboration with Rehlko to supply fuel cells for 1 MW generators. The company has been developing fuel cell technology for decades and recently expanded into stationary power generation, commercial trucking, and port equipment applications.

Toyota Hydrogen Solutions will display a stationary power generator at ACT Expo 2026, scheduled for May 4-7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The information comes from a company press release.
