Fuel cell technology holds great promise for the onsite power industry. Whilst fuel cell cars and domestic boiler replacements are still a few years away, 200kW to 2.4MW systems are already demonstrating their commercial and environmental worth in a many applications around the world.
With rising energy prices and pressure to reduce carbon dioxide emissions developers are looking for new low carbon technologies for onsite generation of power heat and cooling. Whilst the initial capital costs of fuel cells are still relatively high (when compared to existing technologies such as gas turbines and diesel generators), when taking into account the operating, maintenance and serving costs fuel cells can provide returns on investment in the region of 4 to 10years. Fuel cells offer a flexibility on where they can be installed on site – this is due to very low noise, emissions, odours, vibrations and physical footprint.
FCM Projects provides a unique service that can assist your organisation in understanding the benefits of and sourcing the right fuel cell solution for your project. We are interested in talking with :
· Housing developers
· Building contractors
· Energy managers
· Facility managers
· Government contractors
· Architects
· Local governments involved with housing and public buildings
· Construction Companies
Previous Example Applications
· Supermarkets
· Manufacturing facilities
· Industrial Sites
· District heating and power developments
· Hotels
· Leisure centres
· Offices
· Data centres
Benefits of Fuel Cells
- Improved fuel/energy efficiencies (less fuel required / fuels last longer)
- Substantial reductions in air pollution
- Improved energy security
- Improved fuel diversity
- Improved environmental credentials
- Improved performance to existing technologies
- Reductions in noise pollution - few moving parts
- Considerable cost-savings in the long-term
- Water produced as ‘waste’ product!
Benefits of Working with FCM Projects
- Fuel Cell Markets Ltd – Fuel Cell Markets, a technology agnostic business facilitator in the fuel cell and hydrogen industry, has become a globally recognised leading voice and support mechanism for these industries. Due to our activities, Fuel Cell Markets is continuously at the centre of numerous global fuel cell deployment opportunities and is looking for partners to enable us to take greater advantage of the opportunities at hand.
- Mike Binder - Michael Binder, our CTO, is the previous head of the US Department of Defence Stationary Fuel Cell Programme, and has been involved in the demonstration of all the major types of fuel cells and the deployment of 100s of stationary power fuel cell systems worldwide and can bring his vast experience to the table to assist with projects.
About FCM Projects
In January 06 Fuel Cell Markets Ltd created a new division ‘FCM Projects’ - a turn-key, technology-neutral platform, to assist organisations with:
- Understanding specific benefits of Fuel Cell Technologies.
- Feasibility studies
- Technology procurement
- Site preparation, system installation & ongoing maintenance can also be provided through our partners should it be needed.
The combination of Fuel Cell Markets industry knowledge and relationships with Mike Binder’s unique experience of installing fuel cells positions FCM Projects as an ideal mechanism for investigating and installing fuel cell technology. Michael Binder is the previous head of the US Department of Defence Stationary Fuel Cell Programme, and has been involved in the demonstration of all the major types of fuel cells and the deployment of a significant percentage all stationary power fuel cell systems installed worldwide, click here to learn more. |
