Hope for Hydrogen? CARB Conditionally Certifies Tri-Generation Fuel Cell Plants as Renewable H2 Power Source

But two weeks ago the California Air Resources Board gave contingent certification to FuelCell Energy, Inc.’s Tri-Generation Fuel Cell waste plants under the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), laying down a future path where hydrogen could be generated with a carbon neutral or even carbon negative footprint.



While tri-generation processes can operate on a variety of different fuels, the system contingently certified by CARB uses waste biogas from the anaerobic digestion of solid waste and waste water to produce electricity, heat, and hydrogen. Because it captures methane and other biogasses which would naturally be released into the atmosphere through natural decomposition processes, a Tri-Generation Fuel Cell plant can actually be carbon negative.[/quote

“Our commercial solution for generating hydrogen is technologically, operationally and financially superior to conventional hydrogen generation alternatives and our ability to generate renewable hydrogen affordably and with private capital is a game-changer that addresses the challenges faced by regulators and auto manufacturers,” said Chip Bottone, Chief Executive Officer, FuelCell Energy, Inc. “The key aspect of supporting the hydrogen infrastructure necessary for widespread fuel cell electric vehicle adoption is a clean and carbon-friendly solution that is priced competitively to the cost of gasoline, which is what we can deliver.”



The certification itself comes from the completion of a successful three-year tri-generation project where a fuel cell system has been used to produce electricity, heat and hydrogen from biogas at the Orange County Sanitation District in Fountain Valley, California.



This is the Holy Grail that will bring us to total fossil fuel independence and answer our Global CO2 footprint issue and literally save our plant. The fuel cell revolution will is happening.
