FuelCell Energy: sale of fuel cell power plants
Die untenstehende Meldung ist eine Original-Meldung des Unternehmens. Sie ist nicht von der ECOreporter.de-Redaktion bearbeitet. Die presserechtliche Verantwortlichkeit liegt bei dem meldenden Unternehmen.
FuelCell Energy, Inc. a leading manufacturer of high efficiency ultra-clean power plants using renewable and other fuels for commercial, industrial, government, and utility customers announced the sale of two 300 kilowatt DFC300 fuel cell power plants to be installed at the U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London, located in Groton, CT.
The two DFC300 fuel cell power plants will be installed adjacent to the existing energy plant on the Base and will provide reliable base load electricity to the Base. The byproduct heat generated by the fuel cell energy conversion process will be utilized for pre-heating the water used in the boiler at the existing energy plant, reducing fuel costs for the Base. FuelCell Energy's partner, LOGANEnergy will purchase, install and operate the fuel cell power plants, subcontracting maintenance services to FuelCell Energy under a three year service contract.
The efficiency of fuel cells is almost 80% when the byproduct heat from the energy conversion process is utilized for facility heating or heating water. This high efficiency reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improving the carbon footprint for the Base.
"We are pleased with this opportunity to broaden our relationship with the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Navy as we assist them in reaching their clean energy goals," said Richard Shaw, Director Business Development FuelCell Energy, Inc. "Our fuel cell power plants decrease greenhouse gas emissions and virtually eliminate the emission of harmful pollutants compared to combustion based power generation alternatives while improving the security and reliability of the power supply."
Naval Submarine Base New London is the U.S. Navy's first submarine base and is the home port for a fleet of attack submarines and the Navy's nuclear research deep submersible NR-1. The base is located on the east side of the Thames River in Groton, CT and the main base occupies more than 687 acres. The base supports more than 70 tenant commands including, Commander Submarine Group 2, Naval Submarine School, Naval Submarine Support Facility, three submarine squadron staffs, and the housing and support facilities for more than 21,000 civilian workers, active-duty service members and their families.
LOGANEnergy is a dedicated fuel cell energy service company, specializing in designing and developing fuel cell projects. Founded in 1993, LOGANEnergy's worldwide portfolio exceeds 11 MW of fuel cell capacity with more than 150 installations at 100 sites.
