Woking Park Fuel Cell

This is the UK’s first fuel cell combined heat and power (CHP) system at Woking’s Pool in the Park. A fuel cell is similar to a battery except that fuel is fed into the cell to generate electricity and heat by an electro-chemical process producing pure water as its output emission. Fuel cell technology generates 50% more electricity than the conventional equivalent without burning any fuel. The fuel cell supports the Pool in the Park’s heating and power systems and Woking Park’s lighting.
