COLORADO FUEL CELL CENTER NOW POWERING MINES CAMPUS
The research team at the Colorado Fuel Cell Center is now powering the Mines electrical grid as part of a U.S.Department of Energy program on low-carbon, distributed electricity generation. The program is managed through DoE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E), and features a fuel-cell / reciprocating engine hybrid system targeting 100 kW of net electricity generation at 70% efficiency under natural gas fuel, more than double the efficiency of today’s conventional electric generators.
