Business Summary FuelCell Energy, Inc. engages in the development and manufacture of fuel cell power plants for electric power generation primarily in the United States, Canada, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. Its core carbonate fuel cell products include Direct FuelCell or DFC Power Plants for stationary power generation applications. The company also develops carbonate fuel cell and planar solid oxide fuel cell technology. Its proprietary carbonate DFC power plants electrochemically produce electricity directly from readily available hydrocarbon fuels, such as natural gas and biogas fuels. The company serves manufacturers; mission critical institutions, including correction facilities and government installations; and hotels and customers, such as breweries, food processors, and wastewater treatment facilities, who use renewable gas for fuel. FuelCell Energy, Inc. was founded in 1969 and is headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut.
Benefits of Fuel Cell Technology Distributed power generation with Direct FuelCells® (DFCs®) provides numerous benefits and is being adopted at a wide array of facilities. Benefits include: • Efficiency: Facilities managers are drawn to DFC fuel cell power plants primarily due to their highly efficient use of natural gas and inherent Low Heating Value (LHV) efficiency. DFC's offer clear efficiency advantages in comparison to other forms of distributed power generation. DFC power plants are 47% efficient in the generation of electrical power and up to 80% efficient overall in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) applications when the byproduct heat is used. Typical fossil fuel-powered plants operate at about 35% electrical power generation efficiency. • Environmental Impact: Amid the increasing energy demand and cost, and growing public awareness for energy conservation, fuel cell power plants are becoming the choice for on-site power. With low emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and particulate matter as well as dramatically lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), fuel cell power plants qualify under several environmental certifications established by the government, such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program and Renewable Energy Standards (RES). DFC power plants also have been designated as "Ultra-Clean" by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and exceed all 2007 CARB standards. FuelCell Energy's power plants eliminate emissions generated by fossil-fuel-based backup generators. • Reliability: By locating the power plant on-site, and implementing real-time monitoring capability, end-users are assured of increased reliability, a necessary requirement for applications such as hospitals, hotels, universities and manufacturing facilities. Unlike wind and solar technologies, which generally have an overall availability of 35%, FuelCell Energy products operate independently of the grid, and have an availability of about 95%. • Fuel Flexibility: A number of industrial, agricultural plants and wastewater treatment facilities generate renewable biogas as part of the manufacturing process. Fuel cell power plants can harness the methane in this byproduct, and use the gas to power the system in lieu of natural gas, making it a renewable energy source. In many places where digester gas production volume is variable, DFC plants are designed to operate with automatic blending with natural gas.

The FuelCell Process A fuel cell is made up of an electrolyte member sandwiched between fuel and oxidant electrodes. Typically, a fossil fuel or biogas from which hydrogen is extracted is used for most common applications. The oxidant is typically plain air. The fuel is oxidized at the “anode electrode”, releasing electrons that move to the “cathode electrode” via the external circuit. These electrons meet the hydrogen and push charged ions across the electrolyte. The charged ions (positively or negatively charged) move across the ion conducting electrolyte member, completing the electrical circuit. This electrochemical process requires very few moving parts, typically limited to air blowers and fuel/water pumps. Because of high fuel conversion efficiency, the flexibility to generate Combined Heat and Power (CHP), low-impact characteristics, and negligible environmental emissions, fuel cells are a desirable source of power generation for a broad range of markets and applications. Fuel cells are fast replacing reciprocating engines and gas turbines as the most environmentally-friendly sources of on-site power.
Carbonate fuel cell power plants can utilize many fuel sources, including: • Natural gas • Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment gas • Propane • Coal gas

On Nov. 17, 2010 today announced that its 2.8 megawatt (MW) DFC3000 power plant operating on natural gas has been certified under the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) distributed generation emission standards that were established in 2007 (CARB 2007).
On November 11, 2010: today announced the sale of a 1.4 megawatt (MW) DFC1500 power plant to be installed at the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant in San Jose, California. UTS Bioenergy LLC will purchase the DFC1500 and sell the power generated to the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant under a 20-year power purchase agreement. FuelCell Energy will service the power plant under a long term service agreement and the unit is expected to be operational in early 2012.
On November 8, 2010: announced the sale of a 2.8 megawatt (MW) DFC3000 power plant to be installed at a wastewater treatment plant operated by Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA), a municipal water district based in Chino, California. Renewable biogas created by the wastewater treatment process will be the primary fuel source for the generation of ultra-clean electricity. UTS Bioenergy LLC will purchase the DFC3000 and sell the power generated to IEUA under a 20 year power purchase agreement. FuelCell Energy will service the power plant under a long term service agreement and the unit is expected to be operational in early 2012. "Installation of this fuel cell operating on renewable biogas is an important component of our renewable energy generation strategy," said Terry Catlin, Board President, Inland Empire Utilities Agency. "The clean electrical generation process and the reliable 24/7 operating nature of the fuel cell will help us attain the objectives of our strategic energy plan and position us to meet ever more stringent clean air emission requirements."
On Novermber 4, 2010: FCEL announced the sale of 4.5 megawatts (MW) of power plants to BioFuels Fuel Cells, LLC, a California renewable energy company owned by New Energy Capital and BioFuels Energy, LLC. Three fuel cell power plants, including a 2.8 MW DFC3000, a 1.4 MW DFC1500 and a 300 kilowatt DFC300, will be installed at three different locations in the San Diego, California area and will utilize purified biogas from the Point Loma wastewater treatment plant as the primary fuel source for the generation of ultra-clean electricity. The City of San Diego will convert a waste problem into a revenue stream through this directed-biogas project.
The biogas generated at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant represents a revenue source for the City of San Diego and a renewable fuel source for generating clean electricity with fuel cell power plants. This project incorporates a unique solution that purifies the biogas on site, and then injects the biogas into an existing gas pipeline to supply fuel cells at two different locations in the San Diego area. Termed 'directed biogas,' this project will represent the first time that a FuelCell Energy power plant will be fueled by renewable biogas generated at a distant location.
