DOE awards ~$25M to 8 projects for CO2 capture and compression; $15M for novel Direct Fuel Cell system

Green Car Congress

Carbonate ion transfer supports the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen at anodes and oxygen at cathodes, creating a cycle of CO 2 production at the anode and CO 2 consumption at the cathode. Most of the hydrogen is consumed in the anode power production reaction. Source: FuelCell Energy. Click to enlarge. Alstom Power Inc.
