Second FuelCell Energy Product Using On-Site Biogas Achieves California Air Resources Board Distributed Generation (DG) Certi...
January 16 2018 - 8:00AM
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 3000™ fuel cell power plant operating on Anaerobic
Digester Gas (ADG) has received the California Air Resources
Board’s Distributed Generation Certification to the 2013 Waste Gas
Standard. This certification is necessary for any distributed
generation equipment to be exempt from air permit requirements in
the State of California. Attainment of this certification
recognizes the clean air profile of SureSource solutions, and
exemption from other permitting processes for individual
installations reduces costs and supports customer sustainability
goals.
“The 2.8MW SureSource 3000 and the earlier certified 1.4MW
SureSource 1500 solutions are the only power plants to achieve this
CARB 2013 certification operating on renewable biogas, which
illustrates our leadership position in providing affordable
ultra-clean on-site renewable power,” said Chip Bottone, President
and Chief Executive Officer, FuelCell Energy.
Biogas derived from anaerobic digesters is a by-product produced
at facilities for municipal wastewater treatment, food and beverage
processing, and agricultural waste handling. This renewable
fuel typically has lower energy content and more contaminants than
pipeline natural gas. SureSource power plants are uniquely
suited for this fuel since they are 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 these power plants can be used
on site or sold to an 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.
In addition to its core power plant products, FuelCell Energy
has developed proprietary biogas treatment systems for removal of
sulfur and other contaminants from biogas, and for monitoring of
gas quality. SureSource on-site biogas projects are based on
this comprehensive approach to equipment and service that enables a
municipality to outsource the operation and maintenance of the fuel
cell power plant and gas treatment to FuelCell Energy.
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.
