FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCEL), a global leader in
delivering clean, innovative and affordable fuel cell solutions for
the supply, recovery and storage of energy, today announced that
the SureSource 1500™ fuel cell power plant operating on Anaerobic
Digester Gas (ADG) has received certification under the California
Air Resources Board’s (CARB 2013) distributed generation emission
standards. This certification acknowledges the clean air
profile of SureSource solutions, facilitating the air permitting
process, which reduces costs and supports client sustainability
goals.
“Our SureSource solution is the only technology to achieve this
CARB 2013 certification operating on renewable biogas, illustrating
our leadership position with ultra-clean on-site power delivered
affordably,” said Chip Bottone, President and Chief Executive
Officer, FuelCell Energy.
Municipal wastewater treatment applications for the
SureSource solution are based on a comprehensive approach that
enables the municipality to outsource the operation and maintenance
of the fuel cell power plant as well as biogas treatment, which is
also provided by FuelCell Energy using the company’s proprietary
technology for biogas treatment and fuel quality monitoring.
The versatile SureSource solution can utilize on-site renewable
biogas or directed biogas as a fuel source and is the only fuel
cell or other type of power generation technology to gain CARB
certification to the 2013 Waste Gas standard using on-site
biogas.
SureSource power plants are uniquely suited for operation
utilizing on-site biogas since the system is able to use the
low-Btu gas without a de-rating of power plant output, and the
power plants produce usable thermal energy which can support the
digester operation. Power produced by the system can be used
on site or sold to the electric utility under tariffs such as
California’s BioMAT feed in tariff. A modification of the
technology is available in which the power plant produces
vehicle-grade renewable hydrogen in addition to power and heat,
supporting the developing infrastructure for fuel cell
vehicles.
“We have gained extensive experience working with a number of
municipal water treatment facilities, leading to our
industry-leading expertise with fuel blending as well as our own
state-of-the-art gas treatment and impurity monitoring processes,”
said Frank Wolak, Vice President Sales-Americas. “This
comprehensive turn-key approach to equipment supply and service
provides one point of contact for our customers, and our financing
alternatives include a pay-as-power-is-provided model.”
SureSource™ power plants solve energy, environmental and
business-related power generation challenges by providing
ultra-clean, efficient and reliable distributed power
generation. The fuel cells combine a fuel such as renewable
biogas, directed biogas or clean natural gas with oxygen from the
ambient air to efficiently produce ultra-clean electricity and
usable high quality heat via an electrochemical process.
Virtually no pollutants are emitted due to the absence of
combustion. Customers benefit with operating cost reductions
delivered in a manner that supports sustainability goals and
enhances power reliability. With high availability and capacity
factors, fuel cell power plants make meaningful contributions to
sustainability goals.
