Ceramic Fuel Cells seals deal

Thursday, March 15, 2007

Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd (CFCL) has signed a new product development agreement with EWE, one of Germany's top five energy suppliers, and Bruns Heiztechnik GmbH (Bruns), a specialist German boiler manufacturer. The project partners will design and develop a fully integrated m-CHP unit for the German residential market.

CFCL, which manufacturers solid oxide fuel cells for micro-combined heat and power (m-CHP) units, said the agreement would see it collaborate with Bruns to design and construct 1kW m-CHP units to meet EWE's specifications for the German market.

The first stage of the project is to design and operate an 'Alpha' unit, whereby a CFCL NetGen unit, a Bruns high efficiency condensing boiler and a thermal store will be integrated and operated via a single control unit. Work on this stage has begun and is expected to be completed in 2007. The second stage is to create a near-commercial 'Beta' unit, comprising a single physical unit in which a CFCL fuel cell module is fully integrated with a Bruns' boiler, without the thermal store.

Brendan Dow, managing director of CFCL, said the agreement highlighted the growing demand for more efficient power and heating systems and represented a further step towards commercialisation of the company's fuel cell technology. "This is another example of our commercialisation model of working with utilities and appliance partners to develop and deploy our systems," he added.
