Ceramic Fuel Cells' BlueGen gas-to-electricity technology wins
Microgeneration UK 2011 Technical Innovation Award
Thursday 23 June 2011
Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited, [AIM/ASX:CFU] a leading developer of
high efficiency and low emission electricity generation units for
homes and other buildings, today announced its BlueGen
gas-to-electricity unit has won the Microgeneration UK 2011
Technical Innovation Award, announced at the culmination of the
Microgeneration UK 2011 conference in London.
Microgeneration UK 2011 - which brings together policymakers,
investors, suppliers and customers - celebrates the best of the UK
microgeneration industry. It is run by Micropower Council, the
British Photovoltaic Association and the British Heating and Hot
Water Industry Council.
The Technical Innovation Award, one of five categories, was
announced at a gala dinner on Tuesday 21 June in London and was
presented by Baroness Maddock of Christchurch, President of the
Micropower Council.
Baroness Maddock said: "CFCL is playing a key role in pioneering
technology that can help provide a source of cleaner, more
efficient, low cost energy. Currently collaborating with multiple
partners across the globe to help bring cleaner electricity, CFCL
is a great example of how innovation within the microgeneration
sector can deliver tangible benefits."
Brendan Dow, Managing Director of Ceramic Fuel Cells, said: "We
are thrilled to accept this prestigious award, and are delighted
that our ground-breaking technology has been recognised by
Microgeneration UK 2011. More and more Ceramic Fuel Cells is being
recognised as a world leader in the development of fuel cell
technology to provide reliable, low-emission electricity from
widely available natural gas."
In May 2011, BlueGen won both the 2010-11 'CEO Award' - DuPont
Australia and New Zealand's most prestigious innovation award - as
well as the 'Design for a Sustainable Future' award, one of seven
categories at the biennial DuPont Australia & New Zealand
Innovation Awards.
BlueGen uses ceramic fuel cells to turn natural gas into
electricity and heat for hot water, with each unit capable of
producing more than three times the electricity needed to power the
average United Kingdom home. Surplus electricity can be exported
back to the power grid. BlueGen also provides heat for domestic hot
water use. BlueGen units operate constantly, generating 1.5
kilowatts of electricity plus heat for hot water, 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, regardless of weather.
BlueGen has the highest electrical efficiency of any small-scale
power generation system in the world, reducing energy bills as well
as making significant carbon savings.
