Fuel Cells and Power Generation

Fuel cells are an important enabling technology for the nation's clean energy portfolio and have the potential to revolutionize the way we power our nation, offering cleaner, more-efficient alternatives to the combustion of fossil fuels. Some stationary fuel cell systems can achieve overall efficiencies of 80% or more when heat production is combined with power generation. Fuel cell systems can provide heating and cooling, and electricity for your business or locality. This webinar will give background on current fuel cell technology, and will showcase two companies who are successfully putting stationary fuel cell applications to work.

Presenters are:

Cheri Chastain
Sustainability Coordinator, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

Nikki Rodoni
Director of Sustainability, Gills Onions, LLC

The webinar is being organized by Virginia Clean Cities. It will be co-hosted by the Clean Energy States Alliance. The US Department of Energy Fuel Cell Technologies Program is providing assistance and support.

Financing Fuel Cell Installations

In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that improved financing arrangements for fuel cell installations can make a great difference in customers’ desire to purchase fuel cells. The emergence of new financing models is helping to give the industry increased momentum and faster growth. Leasing arrangements, power purchase agreements, and other creative financing approaches can make fuel cell installations more appealing and easier for end-use customers and for state clean energy agencies. Such financing models lower the amount of money the purchaser needs up front and reduce project risks.

Clean Energy States Alliance will host this webinar to examine these financing models, with support from the US Department of Energy. The webinar will feature a representative from UTC Power who will discuss the attractive financing options that company offers and the implications for future projects. A representative of ClearEdge Power will explain the importance of the financing issue for the future success of the fuel cell industry and will discuss the company’s plans to market residential fuel cell systems.
