"Our commercial distributed power generation solutions are configurable to provide multiple value streams including high purity hydrogen along with ultra-clean electricity and usable heat," said Chip Bottone, President and Chief Executive Officer, FuelCell Energy, Inc. "Resiliency of supply is enhanced with our affordable on-site delivery system, delivering power and hydrogen independent of external events that can interrupt the electric grid or surface transportation network."
Transportation applications
FuelCell Energy power plants support hydrogen fueling for fuel cell vehicles, illustrated by a three year demonstration project in California that converted renewable biogas from wastewater into high purity 100 percent renewable hydrogen for transportation. This fuel cell solution provides renewable hydrogen for transportation that is generated in a zero carbon manner, emitting water vapor and virtually absent of the pollutants that cause smog, generate acid rain and can exacerbate asthma.
The emerging transportation market has the potential to significantly increase hydrogen demand as vehicle manufacturers introduce hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and these vehicles need a fueling infrastructure. In addition, there is a growing fleet of fuel cell powered fork lift trucks which represent additional market potential for distributed hydrogen. Estimates for global shipments by 2017 for vehicle and material handling systems will exceed 300,000 units1. The hydrogen required by these vehicles would be enough to support a market of about $30 billion of fuel cell hydrogen delivery systems, plus service opportunities. The ability of the FuelCell Energy solution to utilize on-site renewable biogas offers an attractive opportunity to affordably and cleanly provide 100 percent renewable transportation fuel.

Industrial users of hydrogen, including metal processors, glass makers, operators of large material handling equipment fleets and petrochemical applications, can benefit from environmentally friendly and affordable on-site hydrogen generation. FuelCell Energy is demonstrating these advanced manufacturing capabilities at its North American manufacturing facility with a stationary Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plant that converts clean natural gas into power and heat for the manufacturing process and hydrogen that will be used as an oxidation preventative in the manufacturing ovens, replacing purchased hydrogen. In addition, the fuel cells power an electric vehicle charging station located on-site.
Industrial demand for hydrogen is substantial with more than 9 million kilograms per day produced and distributed to end users2. As an indication of the market potential, if only ten percent of this industrial demand was met with fuel cell based hydrogen delivery systems, it would represent an addressable market for fuel cell plants of approximately $5 billion in the USA, plus Services opportunities. Global markets add another 40 to 50 percent to the market size3.
"We are powering the factory-of-the-future with on-site power and hydrogen generation as the fuel cell hydrogen system at our manufacturing facility is expected to save us more than $200,000 annually from reduced power and heating costs, and by avoiding the cost and delivery charges for hydrogen used in our process ovens," said Tony Rauseo, Chief Operating Officer, FuelCell Energy.
The hydrogen delivery system operating at the FuelCell Energy manufacturing facility is meeting approximately 30 percent of the electricity needs of the operation and will minimize the need for delivered hydrogen, reducing transportation-related pollutant emissions. The co-generation replaces heat produced by a combustion-based boiler, avoiding heating fuel costs and eliminating the associated pollutants.
The production cost of the hydrogen from megawatt-scale fuel cell plants is cost-competitive versus delivered hydrogen for industrial users and compared to the cost of gasoline for transportation uses. Pricing will depend on the location of the installation, value of the electricity produced and cost of fuel for the fuel cell power plant. The Federal Investment Tax Credit further supports the cost competitiveness of this on-site generation solution. In addition, on-site hydrogen generation provides a societal benefit by avoiding the emissions and traffic congestion from the delivery of hydrogen via diesel truck.
Compared to existing centralized generation of hydrogen, a 2 megawatt FuelCell Energy hydrogen delivery system is estimated to eliminate approximately 1,600 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually. These systems can also operate on renewable biogas, increasing the amount of avoided CO2 to 4,000 tons per year. Low carbon power generation by the on-site fuel cells further reduces the carbon footprint of the system compared to the electric grid and generating heat avoids the use of combustion-based boilers.
"The financial profile including the multiple value streams of our on-site power and hydrogen generation systems can attract private capital, minimizing the need for the site owner to directly invest in the hydrogen delivery system as we source the private capital to own the asset," continued Mr. Bottone.
The DFC stationary fuel cell power plants manufactured by FuelCell Energy utilize carbonate fuel cell technology and provide continuous power located where the power is used, including both on-site applications and electric grid support. The plants provide combined heat and power (CHP) capabilities, also known as cogeneration, supporting sustainability initiatives and economics. The plants are fuel flexible, capable of operating on clean natural gas, on-site renewable biogas, or directed biogas. Power is produced by an electrochemical reaction, resulting in the virtual absence of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide (NOx) that causes smog, sulfur dioxide (SOx) that contributes to acid rain, or particulate matter that aggravates asthma.

A new study Stationary Fuel Cell Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2014 to 2020. The 2014 study has 603 pages, 258 tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth as the Stationary Fuel Cells used to provide distributed power for campus environments achieve better technology and economies of scale. They have achieved grid parity in many cases. They improve and lower energy costs. They threaten to erode utility profitability.
Stationary Fuel Cells are on the cusp of becoming commercially viable, creating companies that are profitable and produce electricity at or below parity with the grid giving every user alternatives to the grid. Bloom Energy has solved the SOFC engineering challenges. Breakthroughs in materials science, and revolutionary designs give Bloom SOFC technology a cost effective, all-electric solution.
Browse Report with TOC @ http://www.marketresearchstore.com/report/stationary-fuel-cells-market-shares-strategies-and-forecasts-2300
Vendors have solved the SOFC conundrum, developing new materials that make units affordable and provide energy device economies of scale and support for wind and solar renewable energy sources.
Stationary fuel cells represent the base for distributed power generation worldwide. No more new coal plants, no mare extensions to the grid. Distributed power has become mainstream. Distributed generation (DG) refers to power generation at the point of consumption.
Generating power on-site, rather than centrally, eliminates the cost, complexity, interdependencies, and inefficiencies associated with energy transmission and distribution. Distributed energy is evolving in a manner like distributed PC and laptop computing, cars for transportation, and smart phones. As distributed Internet data and telephony have found a place in the market, so also will distributed energy generation become widespread. Distributed power shifts energy generation control to the consumer much to the consternation of the existing utility companies.
Renewable energy is intermittent and needs stationary fuel cells for renewables to achieve mainstream adoption as a stable power source. Wind and solar power cannot be stored except by using the energy derived from these sources to make hydrogen that can be stored. Stationary fuel cells are likely to function as a battery in the long term, creating a way to use hydrogen that is manufactured from the renewable energy sources. It is likely that the wind and tide energy will be transported as electricity to a location where the hydrogen can be manufactured. It is far easier to transport electricity than to transport hydrogen. Hydrogen servers as an energy storage mechanism.
Stationary fuel cell markets need government sponsorship. As government funding shifts from huge military obligations, sustainable energy policy becomes a compelling investment model for government.
Request Sample on This Report @ http://www.marketresearchstore.com/report/stationary-fuel-cells-market-shares-strategies-and-forecasts-2300#requestSample
Stationary fuel cell markets at $1.2 billion in 2013 are projected to increase to $14.3 billion in 2020. Growth is anticipated to be based on demand for distributed power generation that uses natural gas. Systems provide clean energy that is good for the environment. Growth is based on global demand and will shift from simple growth to rapid growth measured as a penetration analysis as markets move beyond the early adopter stage. The big box retailers including many, led by Walmart, the data centers, and companies like Verizon are early adopters.
Eventually hydrogen will be used as fuel in the same stationary fuel cell devices. The hydrogen is manufactured from solar farms. Stationary fuel cells have become more feasible as the industry is able to move beyond platinum catalysts.

The fuel cell park and substation will only occupy approximately 8 acres of the 23.8 acres of land available. This low land requirement illustrates the advantage of fuel cell parks. By comparison, intermittent solar needs about 10 times as much land for the same number of megawatts but produces power on average over the course of the year for only 4.2 hours/day in Connecticut.1 Due to the high availability of fuel cell power generation, fuel cell projects can generate 3 to 4 times the amount of renewable energy credits as intermittent renewable power generation, supporting RPS goals that are based on megawatt hours of clean power actually produced.
63.3 megawatts is adequate to power more than 60,000 Connecticut homes, and the power is delivered around-the-clock no matter the weather or time of day. Multi-megawatt fuel cell parks solve power generation challenges as the combination of near-zero pollutants, modest land-use needs, and the quiet operating nature of fuel cell power plants facilitates their siting in urban locations. Fuel cell parks offer a multitude of advantages for utilities and neighboring communities, including:
Environmentally friendly power generation with virtually zero nitrogen oxide (NOx) that causes smog, sulfur dioxide (SOx) that contributes to acid rain, or particulate matter that aggravates asthma, and the power is delivered with a low carbon footprint
Distributed power generation places power near where it is used, enhancing the resiliency of the grid
Highly efficient power generation process that is economical
Continuous renewable power around the clock that is not reliant on weather or time of day

FuelCell’s expanding pipeline is currently beyond $1.5 billion of possible projects in Europe and North America.
The significant traction gained by the products and services being offered by FuelCell in the regions of Europe, North America and Asia are believed to propel the demand expansion for FuelCell’s key products and services.
Conclusion
Overall, the investors are advised to invest into FuelCell Energy Inc. looking at the solid long-term growth prospects supported by a strong balance sheet with total cash of $83.71 million and total debt of just $24.91 million, allowing it for further strategic investments, going forward.
S. Korea to spend big on clean, renewable energy sector
Yonhap News Agency on Apr 21, 2015 @ 9:15 PM
SEJONG, April 22 (Yonhap) -- South Korea will invest over 1.8 trillion won (US$1.66 billion) this year to help boost the clean and renewable energy sector with the related market expected to be worth some 4.6 trillion won by 2017, the government said Wednesday.
Under the new measures, approved at an economic ministers' meeting Wednesday, the government will spend 430 billion won in 2015 alone to develop key technologies, such as those related to bioenergy, fuel cells and carbon capture sequestration, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
The latest measures are aimed at developing the country's clean energy industry into a 4.6 trillion won market and creating some 14,000 new jobs by 2017. The measures also come as part of the country's efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent from its business-as-usual level in 2020.
The government plans to spend an additional 137 billion won this year to help create local niche markets for the clean energy industry while public firms and private companies are expected to invest some 1.26 trillion won for the purpose, the ministry said.
The measures also call for efforts to increase the number of electric vehicles operated in the country from the current 3,000 to 47,000 by 2017. To this end, the government will build 575 new fast chargers for plug-in vehicles across the country over the next three years.
It will also set up a 100 billion won fund to encourage private investment in the related fields by matching private investment.
In addition, the government will work to increase the number of energy-sufficient islands to nine from the current one. Such islands will rely on clean, renewable energy, as well as energy storage systems, to permanently break off from the use of fossil fuel for power.
The benefits of developing brand new technologies and clean energy sources will also be extended to other countries, partly through exports but also through the country's official development aid.
The government plans to help build at least three energy-independent islands in other countries, the ministry said.

FuelCell Energy Inc. dürfte mit den Power Stations einen Wendepunkt erreicht haben. Die Marktdurchdringung beschleunige sich.
Die Analysten von Dougherty & Company gehen davon aus, dass FuelCell Energy ab dem Anfang des Geschäftsjahres 2016 die Profitabilität erreichen werde. Durch eine Verringerung der Produktionskosten infolge von Skaleneffekten und eine vorteilhafte Verlagerung beim Produktmix in Richtung margenstärkerer Turnkey Installationen sollten die Margen steigen.
Analyst Pierre Maccagno sieht die FuelCell Energy-Aktie als unterbewertet an. Investoren seien offenbar noch nicht überzeugt, dass der Markt für stationäre Kraftwerke auf Basis von Brennstoffzellen für signifikantes Wachstum bereit sei.
In ihrer FuelCell Energy-Aktienanalyse beginnen die Analysten von Dougherty & Company die Coverage des Titels mit einem "buy"-Rating und veranschlagen ein Kursziel von 2,45 USD.

FuelCell Energy (FCEL) reported some decent numbers for the fourth quarter as its losses narrowed considerably. It was driven by new order wins from its clients, especially a 15-megawatt fuel cell park from one of the largest utilities in the U.S. The company had been sailing through troubled waters for quite some time on account of its year-over-year losses. Although its present result cannot be called a turnaround, there was a minor improvement from last year as losses reduced. The stock, however, continued its dismal performance touching its 52-week low a few days back. Let’s see in detail what can we expect from FuelCell in the days ahead.
A closer look
Its revenue for the quarter declined marginally to $54.41 million from a year ago period of $55.16 million, while losses narrowed significantly to 2 cents a share compared to a loss of 5 cents last year. Its sales mix is improving but since the company couldn’t deliver all its orders on schedule, it accounted for lowered revenue from previous year. Margins on the other hand improved on account of reduction in material cost and greater manufacturing efficiencies, which enhanced its bottom line significantly.
Considering its activity level in key markets, FuelCell is expanding its presence in North America, which it intends to carry out in two phase. In the first phase, the company is focused to improve its manufacturing efficiencies by adding 90,000 square feet, which will streamline its logistic functions, consolidate warehousing and reconfigure existing production processes.
While in phase two, based on its demand, the company will add manufacturing equipment to increase its annual capacity from the current 100 megawatts to around 200 megawatts in the days to come. This is a strategic expansion plan that will allow the company to leverage low interest finance from Connecticut, which would be used to increase its activity in key markets.
FuelCell is also venturing into new technological innovations to strengthen its presence in the market. In this direction, it recently entered into a contract with UIL Holdings for an advanced hybrid FuelCell power plant referred to as the direct FuelCell Energy recovery generator (DFC-ERG). Recognizing the value of efficient and affordable clean energy, the management anticipates huge potential for this market in the future. This new innovation will enable utilities to add economically attractive and highly efficient clean distributed generation to their portfolios and achieve sustainability objectives.
In addition, NRG Energy deepened its relationship with FuelCell through a $40 million investment for executing a project finance facility, which in turn strengthened FuelCell’s market access. This partnership plays a significant part to improve its overall profitability and competitiveness of the ultra-clean solutions and services. Also it will help to drive its top line by offering its solutions on high value projects in key markets.
Similarly, the company’s deal with POSCO is moving well with around 100 megawatts of new installations in 2014. FuelCell has many more such orders lined up from the Korean steel giant in the coming years. Apart from this, the company tightened its hold in the Euro Zone, as its installations at London and Berlin are leading to enquires for megawatt class projects. Its efforts in the region have resulted in renewed European recognition, specific leadership and favorable policy trends.
Conclusion
These are some encouraging trends, which will benefit FuelCell in the days to come. It currently has a strong cash position of $108.8 million compared to $79.2 million in 2013, which will enable the company to carry out its expansion activities smoothly. However, the company is still a long way from a turnaround. It does not have any trailing P/E and a forward P/E of 125 doesn’t seem to be very impressive. Moreover, the stock has been a laggard for quite some time and even the recent numbers did not boost its momentum. Therefore in the light of these facts it seems prudent for investors to avoid this stock and look for a better option in other energy firms.
