DANBURY, Conn., Aug. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc., (NASDAQ:FCEL), a global leader in sustainable energy technologies for the delivery of energy and emissions management, announced that a $5.9 million CAD grant from Natural Resources Canada's Clean Fuels Fund (CFF) will finance two projects utilizing its electrolyzer technology to produce synthetic fuel (power-to-liquid (PtL)) or "eFuel."
These innovative projects are being carried out with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), Expander Energy Inc., Nuclear Promise X, and St. Marys Cement and are focused on producing low-carbon-intensity synthetic diesel fuels using zero-carbon hydrogen that will be produced by leveraging nuclear power, and FuelCell Energy's Solid Oxide electrolysis platform.
PtL or Synthetic drop-in ready eFuels can be used as a replacement to, or blended into, current fuels such as gasoline, diesel, heating oil and other conventional fuels offering an immediate and substantial impact on emission reduction. Since eFuels are CO2 neutral, they can be an effective decarbonization solution for sectors like transportation, high grade heat applications, or residential and commercial heating where conventional fuels are used today just to name a few examples.
Jason Few, President & CEO of FuelCell Energy said, "These projects ...
