Palestra Building, Southwark- £2.4M 200kW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant, provides electricity, heat and cooling, and hot water to the building. - At times of peak energy use, the building generates a quarter of its own power, rising to 100 per cent off-peak.- Cuts carbon emissions by up to 40 per cent and generates £90,000 cost savings per annum. - Payback period of 10 years.

20 Fenchurch Street, EC3- The Fuel Cell at 20 Fenchurch Street generates 300kW of low carbon, low emissions electricity- The Fuel Cell is integrated into a Combined Cooling, Heat & Power (CCHP) configuration to efficiently support the building’s essential services- Conservatively, the Fuel Cell will reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of the building by at least 270 tonnes per annum

DIMES Feasibility Study

This 12 month feasibility project investigated the techno-commercial benefits of integrating energy infrastructure with clean transport within the urban area of Bicester.

The conclusions were that fuel cell installations are more expensive than the incumbent technologies but are still profitable for the appointed Energy Service Company under a thirty year management concession. In addition, the emissions for CO2, NOx, SOx and particulates are much lower than the incumbent technologies.

Fuel cells represent an additional distributed heat

and power technology which can considerably lower

emissions with a tolerable increased spend.

This central section is predominantly hydrogen fuel cell technology. It encompasses the fuel cell buses, cars and fork lifts as well as smaller buildings.

The primary issue for these applications is how to get the hydrogen to the system.

Hydrogen transport, today

For hydrogen to be useful as a fuel, it needs to be available

- at the right time

- in the right place

- in the right volume

- at the right pressure

- at the right purity

Useable Hydrogen

19

www.fuelcellsystems.co.uk

“Fuel Cell grade” hydrogen is typically five nines – or 99.999% pure. The stages required to get to this purity are dependent upon the production method:

Hydrogen VolumeHow much hydrogen is required for the application?

21

www.fuelcellsystems.co.uk

Gaseous hydrogen at atmospheric pressure is not much use as a fuel… it needs to be compressed.

Buses, fork lift trucks and the dual-fuel vehicles tend to use 350 bar tanks.

Smaller vehicles such as cars and scooters tend to use 700 bar tanks.
