Stationary fuel cells are the only practical solution for on-site distributed electric power generation with 24/7 availability. This "green" technology has become increasingly popular with facilities looking to implement an environmentally-friendly electric power generation system without sacrificing efficiency, availability and performance.
Fuel cells make much more efficient use of fuels than other distributed generation technologies such as reciprocating engines and gas turbines, and generate virtually no pollution or greenhouse gas emissions such as nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulfur oxide (SOx), and dramatically reduced carbon dioxide (CO2). And with availability ratings better than 90%, fuel cells are not hampered by external influences which affect other environmentally-friendly technologies such as wind turbines and solar arrays.
Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) power plant systems from FuelCell Energy also offer many additional features that make them an attractive addition for many applications. The ability to generate Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and to run off of a variety of fuels such as anaerobic digestor gases also help to make DFC power plants from FuelCell Energy the most efficient and economical means of generating baseload power for a wide variety of facilities across multiple markets and industries.
