The 11.2MW fuel cell park includes four 2.8MW DFC3000 Direct FuelCell (DFC) power plants, a scalable solution for providing ultra-clean baseload distributed generation close to where the power is used.
The ultra-clean electricity generated by this facility, which is located on one-acre of land, is sold to the electric grid and usable high quality heat is provided to a neighboring water treatment facility.
FuelCell Energy’s South Korean partner, POSCO Power, sold and installed the DFC power plants to The Cobalt Sky, a South Korea-based investment and energy consulting firm.
The plants operate on imported natural gas so the high efficiency of DFC plants is valued.
The electricity generated by this fuel cell park is adequate to power approximately 20,000 South Korean homes.
The Cobalt Sky CEO Hyung Gee Chung said as an investor, this fuel cell project was interesting due to the favorable environmental impact that a fuel cell power plant offers by virtually eliminating pollutants and minimizing carbon emissions combined with attractive financial returns enabled by the high efficiency of the power generation process.
