Underground Coal Gasification Company In Partnership to Test Alkaline Fuel Cells for Power Generation

Green Car Congress

The Alpha System Fuel Cell is being developed as a low-cost, easy to maintain, mass manufactured unit that can be installed in modular blocks. At Linc Energy’s site in Orroroo, South Australia and at many of Linc Energy’s Wyoming (USA) sites, the nature of the coal is such that Linc Energy will be producing hydrogen rich-UCG gas.
