Solution/product description
The project was initiated by Liberty Global seeking an innovative solution to power networks using small SOFC fuel cells. This provides the opportunity to use other fuels than hydrogen, which is important for logistics when operating in various countries worldwide. The solution provides grid-fail safe power, without the emissions of combustion engine based power generation and at an efficiency of GW power plants. Also ample ohmic losses are avoided when working with distrubuted power. SOFC type fuel cells also offer the use of bio-fuels like ethanol, so it offers net zero emission of CO2. Negative emisssions are also possible, while SOFC's enable capture of pure CO2. Now adding power to network becomes possible in a scalable way and avoiding emissions.
