Natural gas fuel cell generates power + heats water for homes, saves on CO2 emissions – not in Aus!
Energy security + how to get rid of the electricity grid! LOL. A Melbourne company has been developing a cleaner electricity for Australians which could be implemented as early as next year..... but, as with solar thermal technology, will most probably be marketed everywhere else in the world first, uhh..... Traditional electricity generation is inherently wasteful. More than half the energy content of the fuel escapes from the power station's cooling tower as waste heat. In addition, more than 5% of the electricity generated is lost in transmission in the journey from grid to end user. An alternative approach is to generate electricity within homes and commercial buildings using a device called a fuel cell essentially a large battery with a replenishable fuel source. In Manchester, Mike Mason advocated fuel cells that use solid-oxide technology. These can run on natural gas, ethanol or various other fuels, including the gases produced when making biochar. Mason described domestic fuel cells that can produce electricity from gas more efficiently than even the best modern power stations and at a lower cost. As a bonus, because the generation happens at the point of consumption, transmission losses are minimised and any heat created can be used for hot water and radiators..... www.guardian.co.uk Ceramic Fuel Cells opens Germany plant - Melbourne-based alternative energy company Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd (CFC) has opened its large-scale fuel cell manufacturing plant in Germany ...
