The evaluation of the use of DFC will help efficiently separate carbon dioxide (CO2) from the emissions of existing coal-fired power plants to sequestration of greenhouse gas, preventing its release into the atmosphere.
FuelCell Energy’s carbonate fuel cell technology separates and concentrates CO2 as a side reaction during the power generation process.
In addition, the DFC technology is capable of destroying some of the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in flue gas streams, thus, reducing the cost of NOx removal equipment.
DFC combine a fuel such as natural gas or renewable biogas with oxygen from the ambient air to efficiently produce ultra-clean electricity and usable high quality heat through an electrochemical process.
