FuelCell Energy (FCE) recently announced a contract with Alberta innovates for an engineering study on a fuel cell carbon capture application at a Husky Energy-owned heavy oil thermal facility near Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, Canada.
FCE will develop and prove the application for a carbon capture configured megawatt-class fuel cell power plant to simultaneously concentrate and capture carbon while producing ultra-clean power.
gasworld spoke exclusively to FuelCell Energy’s Vice-President of Application Engineering and New Tech Development, Tony Leo, about the proposed study, challenges faced, and plans for a first-of-its-kind, multi-megawatt fuel cell carbon capture pilot plant.
