Fuel Cell to power Yosemite National Park Fuel Cell Technologies Corp FCT Shares issued 31,190,671 Jun 18 close $0.90 Wed 19 Jun 2002 News Release Mr. Gary Allen reports FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES SELLS FUEL CELL SYSTEMS TO U.S. NATION ... Fuel Cell Technologies (FCT) has sold two fuel cell systems to the United States National Park Service for use at Yosemite National Park in California. The sale was made via Bonneville Power Administration. The FCT fuel cell systems will provide electricity, heat and hot water service to the administration building within the park. "National parks such as Yosemite are interested in environmentally friendly distributed generation systems like fuel cells, and the sales potential in this type of application is considerable," said Gary Allen, director of sales for FCT. "We are pleased to be one of the first fuel cell companies in this power range to work with a national park on such an initiative." The National Park Service ordered the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems so that each will generate five kilowatts of electricity using propane. The FCT design incorporates the Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation (SWPC) proprietary tubular SOFC technology that has been successfully demonstrated for thousands of hours in SWPC's larger systems. The FCT fuel cell systems can provide power independently or operate in parallel with the electrical grid. The FCT systems also provide useful heat because SOFCs operate at temperatures in the range of 800 degrees Celsius to 1,000 degrees Celsius. The park can then use that heat for space heating and hot water usage for comfort stations, offices, visitor centres and other park facilities. FCT systems provide electricity and heat with the environmental benefits of fuel efficiency and clean emissions. The National Park Service and Bonneville Power Administration both provide incentives for energy conservation and support promising technologies such as fuel cells.
