Demonstrates a 300 kilowatt Fuel Cell DFC300 Power Plant US Army Base Ca

This project will demonstrate the high efficiency, reliability and ultra-clean benefits of a fuel cell power plant to the U.S. Army for a minimum of fourteen months. The project will involve the relocation and installation of a DFC300 power plant owned by the DoD that was operated at another military base under a one year demonstration program. The Camp Parks project represents the first Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) fuel cell power plant on a U.S. Army base following fuel cell power plant installations at U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine bases.



The U.S. military is the largest single consumer of energy in the USA, using 79 percent of the total energy consumed by the Federal Government in 2006. The DoD energy policy includes improving energy efficiency, expanding use of renewable and ultra-clean energy and reducing green house gas emissions, while reducing the risk to the military and critical national infrastructure from losses of power. The high efficiency and ultra-clean attributes of fuel cells that dependably generate power at the point of use make fuel cell power plants well suited for powering U.S. military bases.....
