Hydrogen

What really has investors excited about FuelCell stock is its hydrogen technology. Companies lie Nikola are betting on hydrogen fueling stations to keep its vehicles on the road whereas Tesla relies on batteries. While we aren't going to get into a debate over which is the better technology, if hydrogen is your bet, then you need a position in FuelCell stock.Its SureSource power plants are capable of producing multiple value streams, including the on-site production of high purity hydrogen along with ultra-clean electricity and usable heat. In a standard configuration, a fuel, such as clean natural gas or renewable biogas, is reformed inside the fuel cell into hydrogen, which then electrochemically reacts with air to generate power and heat. FuelCell's SureSource Hydrogen fuel cell power plant is configured to produce additional hydrogen beyond what is needed for power production, generating a stream of hydrogen suitable for industrial or transportation applications.

Warren Buffett

Further exciting investors is the bet by Warren Buffett purchasing Dominion's gas pipeline and storage business. FuelCell has the technology that provides a unique way to separate hydrogen from clean natural gas or renewable biogas in a process with relatively low energy consumption and without the need for pressurization. Hydrogen can also be compressed in the same process, using just minimal energy and avoiding the use of mechanical rotating equipment. The high efficiency of the EHS process and lack of moving parts results in low operating costs compared to current hydrogen separation technologies.There is speculation that the purchase allows Buffett to use Dominion's pipeline assets to transport hydrogen to Berkshire's Flying J truck stops. What is Nikola betting on? Hydrogen truck stops that can fuel its vehicles. Like all good chess players, Buffett and Trevor Milton are thinking ahead. Alternative energy is the future and fossil fuels belong in the stone age.

Bottom Line

Currently trading with a market cap of $547 million, FuelCell stock has lagged behind its peers in the current run-up. We believe this will correct itself as FuelCell stock looks set for a breakout to new highs. With the buzz surrounding hydrogen, we believe that breakout is coming sooner than later, especially with 14% of the float short.Good luck to all (except the shorts)!
