Tulare Project Begins Commercial Operation; Supports Achievement of Key Sustainability Goals
December 27 2019 - 8:30AM
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 the
start of commercial operation of the 2.8 megawatt fuel cell project
located at the city of Tulare, California’s waste water treatment
facility, expanding the Company’s power generation portfolio.
Key highlights include:
- The power plant is fueled by the City’s biogas, which is
treated by the SureSource TreatmentTM system, a cleanup technology
optimized by FuelCell Energy’s extensive experience with on-site
biogas treatment.
- Prior to the fuel cell being installed, the methane rich biogas
was flared, which wasted energy and produced emissions. FuelCell’s
plant is now using that biogas and producing clean, renewable,
carbon neutral power. The fuel cell uses a natural chemical
reaction versus a combustion approach to generate energy,
significantly reducing the NOx, SOx, particulate matter and carbon
emissions profile in the San Joaquin Valley.
- FuelCell Energy’s SureSource 3000TM will also supply clean
renewable heat to the wastewater facility’s anaerobic digesters,
providing additional carbon emissions reductions. The fuel cell is
operating on the renewable biogas generated by the waste produced
by the community and processed by the wastewater treatment
facility, increasing the efficiency of the installation, providing
meaningful economic benefits to the city and increasing
sustainability.
- Under the State of California Bioenergy Market Adjustment
Tariff (BioMAT) program, FuelCell Energy has executed a twenty-year
power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with the local electric utility,
Southern California Edison, to purchase the renewable and carbon
neutral power for supply to the California electric grid.
“I am proud of our team for delivering the Tulare
Biogas Project. Globally, our solution delivers renewable and
affordable power at a scale that is meaningful to communities and
the utilities that serve them,” said Jason Few, President and Chief
Executive Officer, FuelCell Energy. “In addition to the
significant environmental benefits of our solution, we also support
our partners by providing a negative carbon footprint that supports
offset emissions from their other forms of power generation.”
As a reminder, the Company will host a conference
call on Tuesday, January 14, 2020, at 10:00 am EST to review its
financial performance. In addition, senior leadership will
unveil the pillars of its transformation strategy under the
direction of its President and CEO, Jason Few. Conference
call details will be provided at a later date.
