Posted by Big Gav in ceramic fuel cells, cogeneration
The Age reports that cogeneration / fuel cell manufacturer Ceramic Fuel cells expects to start selling its "Bluegen" product in Australia next year - Ceramic fires up Bluegen.
THE ASX-listed alternative energy company Ceramic Fuel Cells is set to start making its ''Bluegen'' home solid oxide fuel cell units, which could see them being installed in Australian homes from early next year.
Manufactured in Germany, the units will be priced from $8000 to $10,000 each and produce up to 17,000 kwh of electricity a year - more than twice the amount needed to power an average home.
Ceramic's managing director, Brendan Dow, said the grid-connected units, which are about the size of a dishwasher, generate electricity from natural gas on-site at a higher efficiency and lower cost than coal-fired power.
