4 Government-Funded FuelCell Energy Projects (FCEL) By Thom Tracy | June 27, 2016 — 1:30 PM EDT
Alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar power, offer increased operational efficiency and elimination of carbon emissions. The major disadvantage for both clean energy options lies primarily in the inability for either source to produce energy constantly. Fuel cells produce electricity through a chemical reaction, similar to a battery. With a continuous supply of natural gas or other nonrenewable resources, fuel cells generate power without the need for recharging, and emit little pollution into the atmosphere. In addition, heat is a byproduct of the hydrogen reaction within the cells, and can be harnessed, which makes the source an optimal and inexpensive option for industrial applications. FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) is the largest public U.S. fuel cell developer, operating 50 plants in South Korea, Germany, Spain, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
University of Bridgeport
As part of Connecticut's Low-Emission Renewable Energy Credit program (LREC), FuelCell, based in Danbury, Connecticut, built a 1.4 megawatt (MW) fuel cell plant for the University of Bridgeport that is intended to service approximately 80% of the college's power needs. The school benefits from off-grid power reliability and energy independence, while reduced carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions are produced as a result of the process. FuelCell, as part of the state's LREC, receives energy credit payments tied to megawatt hours of energy output. Connecticut awards the incentive to low project bidders based on price per kilowatt hour.
Beacon Falls, Connecticut
Providing electricity to 60,000 Connecticut homes, construction on the Beacon Falls Energy Park, supplemented by LREC, will begin in 2016 and is expected to conclude in 2019. The 63.3 MW facility will surpass the capacity of the South Korean Gyeonggi Green Energy Co., Ltd. plant, which is the largest fuel cell facility in the world. The deal is estimated to be worth $500 million for FuelCell, as it will manufacture the Connecticut town's individual units that stand 13 feet high, weigh seven tons and generate 350 kilowatts of electricity. The estimated value of the Beacon Falls project far exceeds FCEL's $186.9 million market capitalization, as of April 8, 2016. With a backlog of $408 million, as of March 31, 2016, there is significant demand for the energy producer's products and services. Yet revenues for the first quarter of 2016 came in at $33.5 million, which is an indication of the significant capital required in the renewable energy industry.
Gyeonggi Green Energy Co., Ltd.
In the international market, near Seoul, South Korea, FuelCell developed and sold 21 individual cell units for Gyeonggi Green Energy Co. Ltd., the world's largest fuel cell power plant, which annually generates 440 million kilowatt-hours of electricity used to generate heat for the surrounding district. Occupying only 5.1 acres, the plant's minimal land requirement and quiet mode of operation allow the facility to be situated near the urban areas to which it supplies power. FuelCell also opened an 11.2 MW energy park in Daegu Metropolitan City, South Korea, that generates electricity for the city and provides heat for a wastewater treatment plant. The South Korean government subsidizes foreign manufacturers of fuel cells through a research and development tax credit program, reducing import duties on equipment by 50%.
University of California, Irvine Medical Center
California's Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) offers a maximum of $5 million in capital incentives per project for direct fuel cell companies. FuelCell acquired $30 million in project financing from PNC Energy Capital LLC, a firm that provides funding to renewable energy companies. Expected to increase cash flow and service margins, the cash infusion helps fund the development of a 1.4 MW power plant designed to supply heat and electricity to the University of California, Irvine Medical Center. The energy producer will receive revenues from a multi-year purchase power agreement (PPA), where the hospital agrees to buy power from FuelCell, the owner of the energy park.

The play for Exxon is obvious, billions invested in FCEL. They get a fully working environmental company with State and Federal tax credits that pays off 20 to 1 on day one. Great positioning for Green day advocates for the price of a postage stamp.
Why FuelCell Energy Surged 25% Last Week (FCEL) By Richard Saintvilus | March 21, 2016
SHARE TWEET
Shares of FuelCell Energy Inc. (FCEL) have been on fire lately. And investors who sold these shares based on the company's first-quarter miss on revenue and earnings are now deservedly kicking themselves. But is it too late to buy back?
FCEL shares closed Friday at $7.79, up 3.5%, marking a rise of 25.6% from the prior week's close of $6.36. Companies that specialize in alternative forms of energy haven't fared well in 2016, thanks to low oil prices. FuelCell Energy, a servicer of stationary fuel cell power plants, has bucked the trend, surging some 54% over the past month. And with FCEL stock already yielding more than 61% gains in 2016 what's an investor to do?
When Will the Profits Come?
Failing to effectively answer this question has hurt the entire industry. Many companies, including FuelCell, have struggled to transform their businesses into money-making ventures. To date, the Danbury, CT.-based FuelCell has operated more on potential and not on actual performance. But things are about to change for FuelCell, which in January, was granted approval by the Connecticut Siting Council to build a 63.3 megawatt fuel cell park. (See also: Analyzing FuelCell Energy's Return on Equity.)
Once this project is completed, investors are betting that FuelCell will win more of these contracts. Cowen and Company analysts, who have a $23 price target of FCEL stock, estimate the project to be valued at around $500 million. Based on Cowen's 12-month price target of $23, there's still an implied premium of 187% on FCEL shares.
The demand for fuel cells, as evidenced by the company's backlog of $404 million, which is more than twice its projected 2016 revenue of $184 million, implies tons of pent-up demand. The backlog suggests strong revenue throughout 2016, but also plenty of growth catalysts to sustain the upward movement of the stock. All of that said, with such strong stock gains already on the table, taking some profits now would be a smart move. (See also: FuelCell Energy Earnings: Short of a Full Charge?)
The Bottom Line
FCEL shares have suffered 46% declines over the past twelve months despite the 25% increase last week, compared to a 2.38% retreat in the S&P 500 index. And if you're skeptical about the company's prospects and the extent to which FuelCell Energy can deliver on its long-term revenue and profit goals, consider the shares have a consensus buy rating and an average analyst 12-month price target of $19, implying a 138% premium from Friday's close of $7.79.
China just announced a 2.5 billion dollar project for fuel cells for Shanghai!!!
They need it badly, there is no space for large solar,wind or nuclear facilities. They are going to build 10 microgrids for half of this concentrated megalopolis. This is the first of many projects scheduled for China which is needed infrastructure projects for their 5 year fiscal policy of expansion. It is a possibility, it will take time,but I would not bet against it.
FCEL is the great solution for the coal industry
FCEL and GE analysts are bullish
Analysts offered bullish commentary on fuel-cell maker FuelCell Energy Inc (NASDAQ:FCEL) and industrial giant General Electric Company (NYSE:GE) following earnings and a partner investor day, respectively. The analysts reiterate Buy ratings on the two companies citing potential catalysts and competitive strengths.
FuelCell Energy Inc
Carter Driscoll of FBR & Co. weighed in FuelCell Energy after the company posted F1Q16 revenue of $33.5 and a loss per share of ($0.48). Though these figures are slightly weak, they came within the range of the company’s guidance. Driscoll remains bullish on the stock, citing several positive takeaways and potential upcoming catalysts.
On the bright side, the company won a substantial project from Pfizer, indicating to the analyst that “larger projects are starting to materialize.” He continues that Beacon Falls, the company’s new fuel cell plant in Connecticut, could drive over $500 million in revenue, which is larger than his initial forecast. Driscoll also points to an $8.8 million sale-leaseback transaction and a 20% year-over-year increase in total backlog as positive takeaways from the report. However, the analyst also acknowledges some negatives such as “weak gross margin from product mix as more kits were sold YOY to partner POSCO Energy” and weaker service margins than expected.
Looking forward, Driscoll anticipates a “successful bid into the tri-state RFP to establish an offtake for the large Beacon Falls project as soon as late April,” and awards from the company’s bid for 40 MW of renewable projects, as soon as C2Q16. In light of earnings and these catalysts, the analyst has lowered his estimates “due to modestly higher debt levels” to account for “the use of more retained PPAs on the balance sheet over the next few quarters.

The Basics of FuelCell's Cost Share Carbon Reduction Project (FCEL) By Justin Walton | February 20, 2016
SHARE TWEET
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is funding a pilot project in which a fuel cell will separate carbon dioxide from the exhaust created by a coal-burning power plant. If successful, the project could lead to technology that extends the useful life of coal or natural gas power plants while providing low-emission power. FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) was selected to receive a $23.7 million outlay by the DOE's Office of Fossil Energy for the cost-share carbon capture project sponsored by the National Energy Technology Laboratory. Fuel cell technology is a top 10 green industry, and its potential uses could pay dividends for years to come.
How Carbon Capture Works
The flue gas emitted from a coal or natural gas-fired power plant is routed into the fuel cells' air intake system, which filters out the carbon dioxide. It then cools and compresses the carbon dioxide for use in many industrial or agricultural applications. The contact with the carbonate fuel cell’s membranes destroys up to 70% of smog-producing nitrous oxide, a pollutant regulated under the U.S. Clean Air Act.
FuelCell Energy in Active Talks to Determine Project Site
Those interested in green investing are paying close attention to this project. When it was awarded the project in September 2015, FuelCell Energy was expected to determine a site by the end of the year. However, the company is still in active talks with several sites, as of February 2016, but has not pushed back its initial plans to have the system installed by the end of 2016.
Once a site is agreed upon, FuelCell Energy is to install a 2.3-megawatt fuel cell power plant configured for carbon capture adjacent to an operating coal-fired plant to capture the carbon emissions. The system installed under the DOE project will be the first of an expected two-phase project at the selected site. The second phase involves the installation of 11 additional fuel cell power plants. When completed, the project will produce 27.6 megawatts and capture approximately 700 tons of carbon dioxide per day while simultaneously generating 648,000 kilowatt-hours per day of clean power.
FuelCell Energy’s Prospects for Carbon Capture
FuelCell Energy has already demonstrated that this process works, but the DOE test will be its first application at a working coal plant. Several utilities already use the company's fuel cells, but the new twist involves using them to reduce toxic emissions at existing power plants. FuelCell intends to market its carbon capture systems to natural gas and coal utilities, and it also believes industrial customers will be interested. The process is effective in industrial applications, such as cleaning exhaust from boilers and cement kilns.
The fuel cells need a constant supply of natural gas to operate. Most power plants have the resource readily available, but some coal plants will need to upgrade their facilities to provide natural gas lines for the fuel cells. Once operational, fuel cells can operate around the clock, providing consistent electrical generation capacity.
Carbon Capture Helps Power Plants Meet Clean Energy Mandates
Power plants account for roughly 40% of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States. In 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established new rules under the Clean Power Plan for reducing carbon emissions from power plants. The rules call for reducing carbon pollution from the power plants by 32% over 2005 levels by 2030. Fuel cell-produced power meets renewable energy standards in many states, making the process attractive to utility companies striving to meet clean energy mandates efficiently.
The revised Clean Power Plan also places greater importance on investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency programs, natural gas and nuclear power. These shifts threaten the future of coal power plants, so utility companies will likely look to FuelCell Energy if its project is a success.
