RE: Electricity grid struggled last week.10 Jan 2021 16:04
Go back to a few years ago, AFC were previously looking at the ESCO model utilising waste hydrogen from industry that was otherwise being flared off. The Julich model is a smaller scale version of this but with hydrogen sourced by other means such as ammonia or other green hydrogen sources?
I envisage local electricity generation with perhaps multiple AFC fuel cell units being fed from municipal sites where incinerated waste is used currently. I still think that H2 generation from electrolysis plus units such as PHEs units (if proved to be scaleable) could provide local generation where it’s required without efficiency loss via grid transfer.
We see incinerators being built locally all the time around the country. Why not have a green version using AFC ?
There are so many applications for AFCs products, it’s mind boggling, and very exciting!
