Fuel CellApr 25, 2008


Hello - I've been doing some preliminary investigation recently into the practicality of power/heat/hot water cogeneration with a fuel cell and, after seeing the article here on microturbines, thought I'd post to see if anyone else has looked into this and has any experiences they can share?

Based on my research so far, I see that natural gas fuel cells exist and can generate power into the 200-400 kW range plus 900k BTU for hot water. Between any applicable city/state/federal subsidies/tax breaks and selling any surplus power back to the grid (if Con Ed allows that), I'm hoping this will prove to be a feasible idea.

Thanks,
Henry
