Our carbonate fuel cells are certified to operate off natural gas and digester gas under the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) standards, expediting the permitting process in certain clean air districts. Outside the state of California, the CARB 2007 certification independently validates the clean air profile of our plants.
In 2003, our first commercial shipment was a 250 kW system that operated on digester gas for a brewery in Japan. Our team has since deployed more than 20 MW of fuel cell systems operating on biogas at wastewater treatment facilities, agricultural facilities, and breweries.
“I like the system and what it brings to our facility as well as the quick response and updates from the FuelCell Energy service team."
--- Bryan Padilla, City of Riverside Operations Plant Superintendent
