HotModule fuel cells: the natural choice for biogas and sewage gas operation
The HotModule carbonate fuel cells made by CFC Solutions GmbH, a Tognum Group company, are a natural choice for operation with biogenic gases. Due to their
operating principle, these fuel cells (unlike many other types of fuel cells) are not only insensitive to CO2 in the fuel gas, but in
fact have higher electrical efficiency when running on gases rich in CO2, such as biogas or sewage gas.

Background: The HotModule of MTU Friedrichshafen - Technology
for future cogeneration plants
The HotModule, MTU's fuel-cell system, is one of several technologies
presently available for fuel-cell plants. The various alternatives
differ primarily in operating temperature within the cell as
well as in the electrolyte, the substance which enables the
electrons to be exchanged and thus allows electricity to be
produced. |

Background
Report: The market - Yardstick for fuel-cell plants
So far, the fuel-cell technology has not been able to prevail
in the mass market. The reason: In comparison to traditional
methods of generating electricity, high-performance fuel-cell
plants are still too expensive; either because they are complex
plants with extensive peripheral equipment, or because they
require very expensive materials such as platinum. |
