The Trigen-system Produces Renewable Energy, Hydrogen & Water

The Trigen-system Produces Renewable Energy, Hydrogen & Water

Author: Paul Ellis June 2, 2024 Duration: 0:00
In 2023, FuelCell Energy commenced operations of the company’s Tri-gen system for Toyota North America at the Port of Long Beach, California, where neighboring communities have been significantly impacted by decades of emissions from the ships, trucks, locomotives, and cargo-handling equipment. Betsy Schaefer, FuelCell Energy’s Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer joins me for this SFP episode to discuss how the Tri-gen system produces renewable electricity, renewable hydrogen, and water from directed biogas. This will allow a reduction of air pollution in the neighboring communities and will avoid more than 9,000 tons of CO2 emissions from the power grid and more than six tons of grid Nitrogen Oxide gas each year. FuelCell Energy sees sustainability as an essential part of the company’s business strategy. And Betsy joins me today to give us more details about the firm’s sustainability strategy.
