How the Direct FuelCell® Works
Electrochemical Conversion of Fuel Heating Value to Electricity
–Inherently more efficient than engines and turbines
–Ultra-Clean:
•No combustion
•Virtually zero pollutants
•Negligible Nox (causes smog), Sox (causes acid rain), PM (aggravates asthma)
–Continuous baseload power
–Scalable with high efficiency
–Easy to site
•Low emissions, quiet, modest space requirements
–Hydrogen produced within fuel cell from clean natural gas
–No need for H2 infrastructure

Fuel Cell Stack Configuration
Individual fuel cell component
400 components are used to build one 350 kW fuel cell stack
4 stacks are combined to build a 1.4 MW plant
The stacks are enclosed, creating the fuel cell module
Two modules are used for a 2.8 MW power plant
