Viessmann joins Hexis to deliver high-temperature fuel cells to Europe

Leading international heating manufacturer, the Viessmann Group, has acquired a 50 percent share in Hexis AG. The Swiss company is one of Europe’s leading specialists in micro CHP systems that are based on high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). As complexity of SOFCs is relatively low, they have the potential to deliver high levels of electrical efficiency with low manufacturing costs in the long term. Together, Viessmann and Hexis aim to make SOFCs available for applications in existing buildings. Hexis has already tested and optimised more than 100 of its micro CHP units
