FuelCell Energy’s carbonate fuel cell technology separates and concentrates CO2 as a side reaction during the power generation process.

According to the DFC carbon capture research conducted by the firm, DFC is a viable technology for the efficient separation of CO2 from a variety of industrial facility flue gases such as cement plants and refineries.

The grant from DOE will be utilized to advance DFC carbon capture technology further by funding research to assess the capability of DFC technology to separate the CO2 within the flue gas emitted by existing coal fired power plants in a cost-effective manner.
