"FuelCell Energy (FCE) knows. Last December, its modular 250-kW Direct FuelCell (DFC) power plant was certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as meeting its stringent distributed generation emissions standards for 2007. The certification qualifies the DFC 300A plant for state-sponsored economic incentives and enables users of it to avoid all that permitting red tape. The California Self Generation Program provides $400 million per year of incentive funding for technologies that burn natural gas or renewable fuels, such as anaerobic gas from wastewater treatment facilities.

"While our brewery requires reliable power 24/7, Sierra Nevada also is committed to energy efficiency and reducing our environmental impact on the Chico community. We decided to buy and install a 1-MW Direct FuelCell power plant for two main reasons: its far lower emissions than those of a conventional power plant and its ability to produce the high-value heat by-product our brewing process requires." Grossman went on to say, "[A fuel-cell plant] was the most cost-effective and environmentally favorable on-site power generation solution for us."
