Ceramic Fuel Cells Announces First BlueGen Sale in Europe
Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (Melbourne, VIC, Australia), a leading developer of high efficiency and low emission electricity generation units for homes and other buildings, has sold its first BlueGen power and heating units in Europe, to leading German utility EWE.
EWE has ordered three BlueGen units, for delivery in Q2 and Q3 2010. EWE will install and operate the BlueGen units in EWE facilities and family homes in the North West of Germany.
BlueGen is the latest breakthrough in small scale electricity generation. About the size of a dishwasher, each BlueGen unit can produce twice the electricity needed to power an average home, with the surplus electricity being sold back to the grid. BlueGen also produces heat, to make enough hot water for an average home.
According to the company, BlueGen units can generate electricity more efficiently than the current European power grid, significantly reducing a home’s carbon emissions and cutting energy bills. Ceramic Fuel Cells has achieved the highest electrical efficiency of any product in the large market for small scale power and heat products. It has been working with EWE since 2005. EWE has deep experience with fuel cells and distributed generation.
