Back-up power source in emergencies: If there is a power failure
in an emergency situation, the Home Energy Station can also function as
a back-up power source, using hydrogen stored in tanks to power the
internal fuel cell.
Attractive alternative to gasoline: “The third generation of
Honda’s Home Energy Station continues to push the limits with its
innovative technology,” said Ben Knight, vice president of Honda
R&D Americas. “The combination of home energy generation and home
refuelling offers an attractive alternative to gasoline and takes us
one step closer to a truly viable hydrogen-based transportation system.”
