Photo Release -- Competitive Carbon Reduction Solution Advancing With Affordable and Ultra-Clean Fuel Cells
FuelCell Energy, Inc.
1 hour ago
GlobeNewswire
????
Ability to capture up to 90 percent of carbon emissions with a scalable solution
Performance milestones reached for coal and natural gas power plant carbon capture
Cost per ton of carbon captured below U.S. Department of Energy target of $40/ton
Added benefit includes destroying smog-producing nitrogen oxide (NOx)
DANBURY, Conn., March 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (FCEL), a global leader in the design, manufacture, operation and service of ultra-clean, efficient and reliable fuel cell power plants, today announced the continued progress in the commercialization of an affordable and efficient carbon capture solution utilizing fuel cells, following thousands of hours of testing with simulated flue gas of a coal-fired power plant. In addition to this evaluation under a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) contract, the program included a detailed design and cost analysis for fuel cell applications capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from large scale coal-fired power plants. Results of this study support cost targets below the U.S. Department of Energy threshold of $40/ton. An additional benefit demonstrated is tolerance levels and clean up requirements for the impurities in coal plant exhaust, as well as the ability to destroy approximately 70 percent of smog-producing nitrogen oxide (NOx).
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=31198
In addition to this progress for coal-fired applications, testing is being conducted with private funding for the evaluation of fuel cells for capturing CO2 from natural gas fired power plants. Results to date are supporting the viability and cost targets for gas-fired power plants and exhaust sources.
Discussions are currently underway with multiple parties to scale the technology from the current sub-megawatt level to a multi-megawatt fuel cell demonstration project at an operating coal or gas-fired power plant.
"Our ability to efficiently and affordably capture carbon emissions from existing power plants with fuel cells while also destroying pollutants represents a sizeable potential market opportunity," said Chip Bottone, President & Chief Executive Officer, FuelCell Energy, Inc. "Assuming only a one percent market penetration of existing coal-fired power plants in the USA, this is potentially a one billion dollar near term market opportunity or approximately 120 megawatts of fuel cell plants."
"Our fuel cell power generation and carbon capture solutions are scalable, enabling an initial installation that can begin with capturing six percent of carbon output, consistent with first-step reductions recommended by U.S. EPA rule 111(d)," said Tony Leo, Vice President Applications & Advanced Technology Development, FuelCell Energy, Inc. "Beginning with five or six percent carbon capture, additional fuel cell power plants can then be added incrementally to reach the ultimate goal of 90 percent capture."
Conventional carbon capture technologies for coal-fired power plants nearly double the cost of power, without any significant destruction of pollutants and consumes about 20 percent of overall power output.
Utilizing a fuel cell solution to capture 90 percent of carbon emissions results in a 78 percent reduction in NOx emissions, increases power output by 80 percent, and only increases costs by less than half of conventional amine capture, which is within DOE cost targets of capturing carbon for less than $40/ton.
Fuel cell plants can be added incrementally in a cost effective manner. For example, beginning with five percent capture of carbon emissions doesn't materially change the cost of power for rate payers while decreasing pollutants and increasing power output.
"It is also appropriate to highlight the value of the Federal Investment Tax Credit in relation to carbon capture as the presence of the ITC reduces the total capital investment needed by the power plant owner to meet carbon reduction targets and facilitates the attraction of private capital to own the fuel cell power plants, leading to lower costs for rate-payers," continued Mr. Bottone.
The FuelCell Energy technology efficiently separates and concentrates CO2 as a side reaction during the power generation process. In a typical application, clean natural gas is combined with ambient air to the fuel cells for their power generation process. For the carbon capture fuel cell solution, the exhaust flue gas of a coal or gas-fired power plant is directed to the air intake of the fuel cell plant, replacing the use of ambient air. Within the fuel cells, the CO2 in the flue gas is separated and concentrated enabling cost effective capture.
An additional benefit is that approximately 70 percent of the smog-producing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in coal and gas-fired power plant exhaust is destroyed by the electro-chemical reaction within the fuel cells. This reduces the cost of NOx removal equipment for power plant operators while benefiting society with cleaner air. Since DFC power plants produce power efficiently and with virtually zero emissions, the net result is a compelling solution for preventing the release of green-house gases by coal or gas-fired power plants while simultaneously increasing overall net efficiency and power output. Additional benefits include reduction of the operating cost related to removal of NOx and reduction in water usage as existing carbon capture technologies are water intensive.
Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plants utilize carbonate fuel cell technology and provide continuous power where the power is used, including both on-site applications and electric grid support. The combination of near-zero pollutants, modest land-use needs, and quiet operating nature of these stationary fuel cell power plants facilitates locating the power plants in urban locations. The power plants are fuel flexible, capable of operating on clean natural gas, on-site renewable biogas, or directed biogas. The fuel cells generate power via a highly efficient electrochemical process that is virtually devoid of nitrogen oxide (NOx) that causes smog, sulfur dioxide (SOx) that contributes to acid rain, or particulate matter (PM10) that can aggravate asthma.

I am not in favor of the terms. Pretty confident it will go through. I think that can't hurt the shareprice, since a DIP loan is in a way a vote of confidence. The lenders terms are granting a small equity bone of 3.25%, but that is not a terribly strong indicator of anything.
The default terms of the proposed DIP Facility include an automatic default if an examiner or a trustee is appointed. Were an examiner with enlarged financial powers, or a trustee is appointed, it'd be for the reason of the Court seeing that the Managers (CEO Tom Gutierrez, un-titled top exec Dan Squiller, and the insider cohort) of the Company have committed fraud, dishonest, breach of fiduciary duties, etc.
So this proposed DIP Facility, which is being negotiated by said Managers, will sink the Company if the Equity Shareholders commit to removing these Company-thrashing Executives, who entered into miserable and impossible contracts to fulfill (Apple supplier agreement), and so on.
2. The major terms of the proposed DIP Loan are,
$90,000,000 at an original issue discount (fee) of 97%, taking the cash value of the loan to $87,3000,000.
3.25% Warrants for the equity of the Company if any survives at exit of Chapter 11
About 14% interest per annum, fixed (not attached to LIBOR).
3. The maturity of the loan is 12 months & Upon exit of Chapter 11. That means it has to be paid in full upon exit.
If you'd like to peruse the whole terms of the proposed facility, its in the last 1/6th of the big document located at www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1394954/...

Lightweighting Is To 2015 What Fuel Cells Were To 2013 - Bullish For Integral Technologies
Friday,February 27,2015
In 2013, US-listed Fuel Cell companies, including Ballard Power (NASDAQ: BLDP), FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ: FCEL), Hydrogenics (NASDAQ: HYGS) et al. posted an average triple-digit return, led by Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) advancing 210%, as shown (below).
The [fuel cell] excitement was precipitated by (i) a maturing technology whose price continued to decline towards being competitive with cheaper but less efficient alternatives, and (ii) regulatory as well as industry mandates to find long term cost savings and/or improve emissions, in the case of the auto industry. Large auto manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, Hyundai began commercialization of fuel cell vehicles to meet mandates like California's Zero Emission Vehicle Program(1).
We believe the same fundamentals foreshadow a hallmark year in 2015 for companies supplying auto and other industries with 'lightweight' materials. One of the best ways to potentially capture the upside is to own Integral Technologies (OTCQB: ITKG).
Integral Technologies makes a composite plastic called ElectriPlast that is non-corrosive, electrically conductive, and 40-60% lighter than the steel or aluminum components that it could potentially displace(2). The Company sees a meaningful opportunity in using ElectriPlast in electromagnetic interference shielding and conductive devices, as shown in Figure 1 (below), though industry applications are abundant.
FIGURE 1, Opportunities for Electriplast within Vehicle Base
Source: Integral Technologies
Investors might ask, why now? Why is 2015 potentially a hallmark year for companies that supply lightweight material and why Integral Technologies?
As with fuel cells in 2013, lightweighting is a big theme among all of the major auto manufacturers. Aluminum replaced steel; carbon fiber is increasingly replacing aluminum. For example, Ford's 2015 model F-150, which accounts for 1-in-20 cars sold in the US, will be 700 pounds lighter than its 2014 model with aluminum alloy replacing the heavier steel frame(3). BMW's i3 electric and i8 hybrid models use carbon fiber extensively and find savings in a smaller battery(4):
"Because of carbon fiber, the i3 weighs just 2,655 lbs, compared to nearly 3,300 lbs of the Nissan LEAF, despite the fact that both use similar sized (22 kWh vs. 24 kWh, respectively) batteries [...] That does wonders for efficiency, handling, and performance".
An industry whitepaper(5) predicts carbon fiber becoming increasingly price-competitive, as shown in Figure 2 (below), as demand for the materials soars.
FIGURE 2, Forecast of Carbon Fiber
Source: Infosys
Carbon fiber is a major input in the manufacturing of ElectriPlast, and as prices continue to decline, ElectriPlast becomes viable and competitive as a lightweight material. McKinsey predicts carbon fiber will decline 70% by 2030 in a report titled 'Lightweight, Heavy Impact'(6), although industry and government sponsored programs like the $102 Million MAI Carbon Cluster Management research project aims to reduce carbon fiber cost by up to 90%, which would take it from $20/kg to $2/kg, versus ~$1/kg for steel.
US regulators mandating that auto manufacturers reduce emission 65% by 2025 is a major driving force behind lightweighting in the auto industry as we note in ‘Integral Technologies Could Help Ford, GM Challenge Tesla in Efficiency’. This creates a viable opportunity for Integral Technologies’ ElectriPlast to become a part of the supply chain in one or more future vehicle product lines. The opportunity is particularly meaningful because it positions Integral’s investors for potential upside that is inherently more difficult to find among large lightweight material suppliers. The potential upside is well illustrated by Hexcel (NYSE: HXL), whose shares traded at less than $7 in 2009 and recently traded above $47 after the company’s carbon fiber material was made a part of the supply chain for Boeing and Airbus’ commercial aircraft. Figure 3 (below) shows Hexcel’s 7-year price chart.
FIGURE 3 Hexcel 7-Year Price Performance
Importantly Hexcel spent years qualifying their material to these clients. Integral Technologies has partnered and worked closely with industry leaders in the automotive supply chain, including Hanwha; BASF; Delphi Automotive Systems; EastPenn.
In 2015 the onus is on Integral Technologies to generate meaningful revenues from commercialization of ElectriPlast by leveraging global partnerships that appear to have validated the Company lightweight technology. This timeline is further supported by actions such as EastPenn filing patents(7) that encompass the use of Electriplast. Industry trends otherwise support the premise that if successful at commercialization, 2015 could be to Integral Technologies what 2013 was to leading fuel cell names.

New project wants to bring 10,800 fuel cell vehicles to the region
A new development project taking place in the Northeastern United States has announced a new plan to promote clean vehicles. The project aims to bring 10,800 fuel cell vehicles to the roads of numerous states, including New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Each of these states have their own plans concerning clean transportation, but the overarching Northeast Electrochemical Energy Storage Cluster (NEESC) aims to highlight hydrogen fuel cell technology in the region. The NEESC is being managed by the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technologies.
States work together to promote clean transportation, requiring automakers to sell 3.3 million zero emissions vehicles
The eight states that comprise the Northeastern region signed a Memorandum of Understanding two years ago. According to the agreement, the states require automakers to sell no less than 3.3 million clean vehicles throughout the region. Fuel cell vehicles are included in this agreement. The states intend to see fuel cell vehicles begin being sold this year, with an increase in the number of these vehicles being sold in the region by 2018.
Improving the hydrogen fuel infrastructure could make fuel cell vehicles more attractive
Hydrogen Fuel - Clean Vehicle ProjectConsumers are not being forced to purchase clean vehicles, of course, and to make fuel cell vehicles more attractive, the NEESC is urging states to bolster their hydrogen fuel infrastructures. The project aims to see 110 hydrogen fuel stations built in the region, which may be enough to support the adoption of fuel cell vehicles. The NEESC believes that bolstering the region’s hydrogen infrastructure will have a positive impact on the economy, creating new jobs in the fuel cell supply chain.
Fuel cell industry continues to grow at a steady pace
According to the NEESC, the fuel cell industry in the Northeastern region is still emerging, but already has a $1 billion economic impact. The industry is expected to continue growing as fuel cells gain popularity. In the coming years, the NEESC believes some 1,300 megawatts of electrical power will be generated using hydrogen fuel cells in the region.

Government agency highlights Germany’s growing hydrogen infrastructure
Germany may soon have the world’s leading hydrogen fuel infrastructures according to Germany Trade and Invest, an economic development agency that is part of the country’s government. By the end of the year, the country aims to add an additional 50 hydrogen fuel stations to its existing infrastructure, which has been taking form over the past few years. The government agency believes that more than 400 hydrogen stations will be in operation by 2023.
Country continues to work on bolstering its infrastructure to prepare for the launch of fuel cell vehicles
Germany has shown strong support for clean transportation, particularly when it comes to hydrogen fuel cells. These energy systems have come to play a significant role in the auto industry, helping automakers develop a new generation of zero emissions vehicles. In order for these vehicles to find any degree of commercial success, however, a hydrogen infrastructure must be established. Over the past few years, the German government has been investing in the construction of new hydrogen fuel stations, working with automakers to do so.
Automakers show a great deal of interest in hydrogen fuel cells
Germany Hydrogen Fuel InfrastructureFuel cells vehicles have yet to become popular among consumers, largely because these vehicles are not yet widely available. Consumers also question whether fuel cells are efficient and capable enough to compete with lithium-ion batteries. Several automakers, such as Mercedes-Benz, believe that hydrogen fuel could be the future of clean transportation, but other companies are not as supportive of this form of renewable energy. One of the more common criticisms concerning fuel cell vehicles is the lack of an infrastructure that can support them.
Germany is leading by example when it comes to building a hydrogen infrastructure
Germany is currently leading the way in hydrogen-powered transportation support in Europe. The country has served as an example to its neighbors, showing how a hydrogen infrastructure can be established in a relatively efficient and economic manner. Because of the country’s growing hydrogen infrastructure, it will likely become a very prominent market for automakers that plan to release fuel cell vehicles in the coming years.
