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

Green Car Congress

The carbon capture fuel cell system will be a modification of the Company’s commercial DFC3000 fuel cell power plant and will be installed next to an existing coal-fired power plant. Water vapor, residual oxygen, nitrogen and the CO 2 from the input fuel pass through the cathode to the system exhaust. Source: FuelCell Energy.
