Description
Summary:Under a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contract, FuelCell Energy, Inc. has been developing CEPACS (Combined Electric Power and Carbon Dioxide Separation) technology based on a novel solution (US Patent 7,396,603 B2) for greenhouse gas emission reduction from industrial sites. CEPACS uses the Company's well-established internal reforming carbonate fuel cell, the unique chemistry of which offers an innovative approach for separation of CO2 from flue gases. The system concept works as two devices in one: it separates CO2 from the exhaust of other plants such as an existing coal-fired plant and simultaneously, using a supplementary fuel, produces environmentally benign electric power at high efficiencies.
