Ceramic Fuel Cells has obtained 'CE' safety approval for its BlueGen gas-to-electricity generator product, clearing the way for the product to be sold to customers and put into service throughout Europe. The developer of electricity generation units for homes and other buildings added it is continuing to build its order book for BlueGen units from major utilities and other foundation customers in Germany, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Japan and Australia. BlueGen units generate electricity in the home far more efficiently than the current European power grid, cutting energy bills and significantly reducing carbon emissions, the company claims. "Ceramic Fuel Cells has achieved electrical efficiency of 60 percent, far higher than any other technology in the rapidly expanding market for small scale power and heating generators. When heat is recovered from the electricity production process, total efficiency is up to 85 percent - twice as efficient as the average among current European power stations," the company said.
