SFC Energy AG - Press Release

Toyota Tsusho Corporation becomes official partner for EFOY Pro fuel cells
in Japan

- Following careful and thorough analysis Toyota Tsusho has chosen SFC
Energy as the right partner based on reliability, performance and
quality as well as the maturity of the product

- Large potential for EFOY Pro fuel cells in the growing back-up power,
off-grid seismic, meteorological, environmental, safety and
surveillance markets in Japan

- Environmental friendliness of the SFC Energy's fuel cells as special
benefit in the Japanese market

- First order of fuel cells already shipped.

Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, September 8, 2015 - SFC Energy AG, leading
provider of hybrid power solutions to the stationary and mobile power
generation markets, announces the signing of a new partner agreement with
Toyota Tsusho Corporation: In the context of the agreement Toyota Tsusho
will become an official representative of SFC in Japan. A first order of
EFOY Pro fuel cells has already been shipped for sale by Toyota Tsusho in
Japan.

Toyota Tsusho is one of TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION group companies. As TOYOTA
group's sole general trading company Toyota Tsusho promotes the development
of new business from a global perspective. Both Toyota Tsusho and SFC
Energy see a large market opportunity for SFC Energy's EFOY Pro fuel cells
in Japan. With over 33,000 systems sold, the mature, reliable,
environmentally friendly off-grid power sources are an ideal answer to the
growing need for readily available stationary and mobile off-grid power in
Japan. As more and more seismic equipment, sensors, measuring and
surveillance devices and other technical instruments are used far away from
the grid. Operators are looking for alternatives to Diesel generators,
which are loud, vibrate and require much maintenance as well as to solar
panels, which only operate in good weather. During power generation, an
EFOY Pro fuel cell produces only water and small amounts of carbon dioxide.
The fuel cell is fully automatic and enables extremely long unattended and
uninterrupted operation of devices in the field, creating major logistic
and cost advantages. It can be remote controlled and available in several
easy to use plug and play versions.

"We believe that the addition of the EFOY Pro fuel cells to our diversified
Toyota Tsusho portfolio will bring optimum benefit and flexibility to our
customers and will further strengthen our position in the alternative
