Ceramic Fuel Cells doubles power performance of its fuel cells

Thursday, September 21, 2006

Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited has announced a further major step towards commercialisation with the development of its next generation of fuel cells. The new cells, which are more than twice as powerful as the current cells, have demonstrated significant performance improvements, particularly in power density, and will be incorporated into m-CHP units to provide clean power for homes.

The new fuel cell and re-designed system components are designed to optimize the efficiency of the fuel cell stack and reduce the system cost in preparation for volume manufacture. The new stack is also more easily integrated into distributed generation appliances.

Brendan Dow, Chief Executive of Ceramic Fuel Cells, commented:

'This is another major step towards the commercialisation of our solid oxide fuel cell for power companies seeking distributed generation solutions. The developments will deliver significantly higher power density and system efficiency, both of which are key factors in enabling us to meet commercial targets for performance and cost. Our broad experience of developing different types of fuel cell stacks, and our work with customers, have been essential in the evolution of this technology.

'We look forward to the next stage of integrating our new fuel cell stacks into micro-CHP units, working closely with our power company customers and appliance manufacturers. We are also ramping up production of these new cells, initially in our Melbourne pilot plant and then in our planned large scale manufacturing plant in Europe.'
