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. In the standard DFC system, a gaseous hydrocarbon fuel is sent to the anodes and reformed to hydrogen. Source: FuelCell Energy. NRG Energy Inc.
