PowerCell, a Swedish energy technology company with roots in the Volvo Group, unveiled a functioning full-scale prototype of its PowerPac fuel cell system, which combines an autothermal reformer and a PEM fuel cell stack to convert diesel fuel into electricity. The unit produces about 3kW of electric energy. Earlier post.)

Grid-based electricity, using the California-Marginal mix of electrical generating assets, is assumed to power the wastewater sludge treatment, and biogas cleaning, compression, and fuel dispensing processes. In this model, only a small parasitic load on the biogas produced is used to heat the digesters. Background.

To date, plant operators have continued to respond to orders from Ukraine’s grid operator.) Factors cited to justify operation include the possibility that cooling the plant will make it easier for Russia to transfer its generation to its own grid, and the need for power exports to Europe that deliver revenue and political support.

At the heart of the Capstone process are microturbines that burn liquid or compressed natural gas, a hydrogen blend with natural gas or 100% hydrogen, all of which can be produced from renewable sources. Renewable natural gas made from organic waste is not a fossil fuel and does not involve drilling, making it appealing.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are similar to BEVs in that they have an electric-only powertrain, but they store energy differently. FCEVs store hydrogen gas in a tank rather than charging a battery. The fuel cell in FCEVs generates energy by combining hydrogen and oxygen from the air. How Fuel Cells Work.
