Global Thermoelectric Inc. Nominated for OUTSTANDING COMMERCIAL ACHIEVEMENT IN ALBERTA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AWARD Global Thermoelectric Inc. is a world leader in the development of products based on its planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. The Calgary-based company is also the world's largest manufacturer and distributor of thermoelectric generators for use in remote locations. As the worldwide demand for electricity generation increases, alternative power generation technologies such as fuel cells are expected to address this need. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen with oxygen to produce electricity. Since this takes place without combustion, it provides a clean alternative to large power plants. The distinguishing advantage of Global's technology is that its SOFCs can easily use hydrocarbon fuel sources to obtain hydrogen. Hydrogen is extracted when hydrocarbon fuels, including natural gas, propane and gasoline are processed. As a result, Global's technology can be widely adapted without the introduction of a hydrogen infrastructure. Global's innovation also uses high-grade heat from the cell to provide hot water or space heating to further enhance efficiency. This results in a more efficient system and is a significant accomplishment for Global. Established in 1975, the company has enjoyed numerous successes. It launched its fuel cell division in 1997 and in 2000, announced a strategic alliance with Canada's largest energy distribution company. Under the direction of Jim Perry, CEO, Global has successfully marketed its power generation equipment to 48 countries around the world and gained profile as a key fuel cell development center in North America. astech.ab.ca ...more info about In 2001, ASTech recipients and finalists will be honoured at a Gala Event on Friday, October 19th, 2000 at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary. Global Thermoelectric patent information : COMPOSITE ELECTRODES FOR SOLID STATE ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICES October 2, 2001 5:55pm Abstract: A solid state ionic device includes a dense electrolyte sandwiched between two porous electrodes. In one embodiment, the device is anode supported and the cathode is formed of a porous three-dimensional solid phase structure having an electrocatalytic phase of a plurality of electrocatalytic particles (14) and an ionic conducting phase of a plurality of ionic conductor particles (16). The mean or median size of the electrocatalytic particles is larger than the mean or median size of the ionic conductor particles. The device may further include a long range electronic conducting layer of lantham cobaltate or other electronically conducting material. Pub. No.: EP 1135824 Appl.
