GEI Global Energy Corp. (OTC PINK: GEIG), is a fuel cell electric power generation company.
Fuel cell technology has a potential for rural electrification both in the U.S. and for developing countries. This technology would allow the use of renewable energy around the clock regardless of location. The opportunity exists to electrify 2.1 billion people without electricity. For example, providing electricity at the village level can result in vaccinations, refrigeration, water pumps for fresh well water, internet connections, cellular phone towers, and with computers available for a few hundred dollars could link children from around the globe. Village farmers could study on-line for better irrigation methods, understand weather patterns and communicate with experts world-wide regarding numerous local social, economic, and agricultural issues.
GEI will seek to provide fuel cell
energy solutions for developing countries that leverage renewable energy
sources such as wind, solar, and bio fuels. Through utilizing renewable
energy sources, fuel cells can become an economical source of power,
heat, and water and can contribute rapidly toward the improvement of
economic, health, agricultural, and social conditions for the 60% of the
world's population without affordable and plentiful power.
GEI believes its distinctive characteristics will be:- A passion and commitment to developing innovative global energy solutions that enrich the quality of life and conserves earth's natural resources.
- A passion and commitment to providing high quality customer service and superior engineering technology.
- A passion and commitment to developing environmental friendly solutions that ensures energy security for future generations.
Our vision is that GEI will become the
largest fuel cell auxiliary power provider worldwide with annual gross
revenues of $50 million in five (5) years. We believe this vision is
achievable due to our "Blue Ocean"
strategy supporting common fuel cell power systems that are customer
centric and applicable across multiple industry sectors. Our targets are
ten times the combined total U.S. APU market today and will drive the
entire fuel cell component supply chain worldwide. Additionally, the
high volume manufacturing will provide much needed high-tech jobs for
mid-Michigan, improve the overall quality of life, and establish the
first high volume fuel cell systems manufacturer in Michigan. As we go
to market, we will utilize strategic partnerships to deliver our
customers with a complete end-to-end solution to address all of their
unique power requirements.
We intend that GEI be known as a leader
for innovation in fuel cell systems engineering and for developing
products and strategies that both improve the social and economic
quality of life for millions and help to accelerate the
commercialization of the hydrogen and fuel cell economy world-wide.
GEI TECHNOLOGY
The GEI X5 is a “hybrid” fuel cell APU
that incorporates a high temperature PEM fuel cell and a high-energy
density Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. Although fuel cell systems
typically have a higher energy density compared with traditional
batteries, fuel cell systems alone do not have the peak power and load
following capabilities of a battery. Therefore, it is necessary for most
applications to incorporate a hybrid fuel cell/battery system to
benefit from the strengths of both technologies. Because batteries are
excellent at satisfying high instant power demands, fuel cell power
systems can be sized to meet average power requirements for any given
application to achieve maximum efficiency. A fuel cell power system can
then be combined with a battery (or other energy storage systems such as
ultra capacitors), creating a hybrid system in which the fuel cell
provides sufficient power for battery charging during low power demands.
The battery or energy storage system can then handle the instant power
demands, provide for instant start capability, and most importantly,
provide for smooth quasi-transient fuel processor operations. It can not
be underestimated the importance of hybrid systems when combined with
fuel processors. Since fuel processors are not able to respond instantly
to changing load demands, systems without an energy storage media
results in an exceptionally difficult control strategy. Alternatively,
with energy storage the fuel processor need only respond to “average”
load demands rather than instantaneous demands and provides for less
complicated and more reliable control systems. Finally, hybrid fuel cell
power systems are inherently more fuel efficient and are a more cost
effective solution.
GEI Global Energy Corp.engages in the development of fuel cell based
auxiliary power systems. The company’s power systems provide
electricity to power various applications, including buildings,
automobiles, emergency back-up systems, laptop computers, consumer
devices, commercial trucking, telecommunications, marine, data security,
and military. GEI Global Energy Corp.is based in

FUEL CELLS: THE RACE TO AN ENERGY SECURE FUTURE
Fuel cells are a highly efficient,
combustion-less, and virtually pollution free energy source that
provides electricity to power a wide array of applications including
buildings, automobiles, emergency back-up systems, laptop computers, and
numerous other consumer devices. In principle, a fuel cell is an
electrochemical device that operates like a battery. However, unlike a
battery, a fuel cell requires re-fueling, and not recharging. A fuel
cell uses fuel - usually hydrogen extracted from natural gas, propane,
or other carbon based fuels, and oxygen extracted from air - to produce
electricity. Fuel cells will continue to produce energy in the form of
electricity and heat as long as there is a constant fuel source.
Hydrogen fuel cells work simply, have no moving parts, and operate
silently with water and excess heat as the only by-products.
