$2.1m FuelCell Energy fuel cell for California hydrogen station
Production, Mar 11 2010 (The Hydrogen Journal)
- Connecticut company FuelCell Energy has won a $2.1m contract to provide a fuel cell for a hydrogen fuelling station in California.
The fuel cell will generate 300kW of electricity from biogas, sourced from wastewater treatment. The wastewater treatment facility is in Fountain Valley, California, operated by Orange County Sanitation District.
The prime contract to develop the facility was awarded to Air Products, by California Air Resources Board, supported by South Coast Air Quality Management District, and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
The facility will also generate 300lbs of hydrogen per day. The hydrogen is also produced by the fuel cell.
Over the past 2 years, FuelCell Energy and Air Products have been operating a co-production test unit (making hydrogen and electricity from biogas with a fuel cell).
