Goal
Human waste to hydrogen, electricity and heat
Description
A hydrogen energy station (HES) that uses a high temperature fuel cell to co-produce electricity and hydrogen will be evaluated and demostrated in a four phase project. First the system will be installed at FuelCell energy ´s facility in Danbury, CT. Then it will be moved to Orange County Sanitation District´s (OCSD´s) sewagetreatment plant in Fountain Valley, CA. The system will be operated for a minimum of 6 month. The renewable hydrogen product will be made available to fuel hydrogen vehicles. For more details see DoE annual progress reports 2007 to 2012 SAE TIR-J2601 standard
