mchp in france

A few people sparked my interest in France again recently by linking a 12 month old De Dietrich presentation referring to the Ceramis Power.

So going to keep this thread as a token French mCHP board

First things first...at best we rate as "others" But interesting to see the bullish nature in which they talk of fuel cell mCHP in France (where power is cheap relative to gas)

So cliff notes of interest to me:

- "At a time when the price of energy climbs and will continue its run at the set up , some power plants so far shunned in France become quite interesting in terms of opportunities"

- "That is why fuel cells are now promised a great future for micro -CHP for individual homes. ... GDF Suez/ CRIGEN emphasizes " the arrival in 2016 of fuel cells for micro- generation. "

So whilst GDF Suez are running the ENE field with products from competitors. Interesting that this article features comment from De Dietrich and GDF Suez who are still doing a long term test on the Ceramis power charging electric cars amongst other things
