Danbury, Connecticut based, FuelCell Energy – which has developed a solid oxide fuel cell technology capable of running on waste derived biogas – is to enter into a $6.4 million cost shared cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy to continue research and development on a demonstration sub-megawatt SOFC power plant.
In addition to this latest agreement with the DOE, a separate DOE supported project that the company has been working on is preparing to use a fuel cell to convert agricultural waste into renewable energy at a dairy farm in California in conjunction with the project partner TDA Research.
