โฆ Synopsis
The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) has announced the finalists in a program to stimulate development and commercialization of fuel cell technology. The announcement marked the official kick-off of the five-year program. Connecticut is the first of the 14 deregulated American states to launch a fuel cell initiative of this magnitude.
The projects -representing collaboration among private-and public-sector businesseswere selected from 31 proposals. Each project will potentially stimulate R&D and commercialization, while providing highly visible sites to demonstrate the use of fuel cell energy generation. The program has a 2002 project budget of approximately US$8 million; finalists will also be making substantial financial contributions to their projects.
The finalists include a demonstration project at Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill, featuring a 25 kWe integrated SOFC/reformer system being developed by Massachusetts-based Ztek Corporation; a 50 MWe fuel cell power plant in Fairfield County, used to power a compressor station and provide excess power to the grid; fuel cells supplied by UTC Fuel Cells to be installed at the State of
