CERAMIC FUEL CELLS' BLUEGEN SALE TO EON RUHRGAS
Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited [AIM/ASX: CFU], a leading developer of high
efficiency and low emission electricity generation units for homes and other
buildings, has sold another BlueGen power and heating unit in Germany, to
leading German gas utility E.ON Ruhrgas.
E.ON Ruhrgas AG is part of the E.ON Group and is responsible for the European
gas business from exploration, transmission and supply to major customers. With
a purchasing and sales volume of approximately 700 billion kWh of gas and
revenue of 27 billion Euros a year, E.ON Ruhrgas is one of the leading gas
companies in Europe and the largest in Germany.
From Q2 2010 E.ON Ruhrgas will operate a BlueGen unit at its micro power and
heating test facility in Essen, Germany.
Ceramic Fuel Cells is also working with E.ON UK, another member of the E.ON
Group, to deploy fully integrated power and heating products in the United
Kingdom market.
About the size of a dishwasher, each BlueGen unit can produce twice the
electricity needed to power an average home, with the surplus electricity sold
back to the grid. BlueGen also produces heat, to make enough hot water for an
average home. BlueGen units can generate electricity more efficiently than the
current European power grid, significantly reducing a home's carbon emissions
and cutting energy bills.
Ceramic Fuel Cells has achieved electrical efficiency of 60 percent, far higher
than any other technology in the rapidly expanding market for small scale power
and heating generators. When heat is recovered from the electricity production
process, total efficiency is up to 85 percent - twice as efficient as the
average among current European power stations.
By generating power close to where it is used, Ceramic Fuel Cells' products can
meet the future demand for electricity without the need for huge investments in
electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure.
The order from E.ON Ruhrgas follows recent BlueGen orders from other German
utilities RheinEnergie and EWE, and Dutch gas utility Gasterra, as well as
customers in Australia and Japan. Ceramic Fuel Cells has also deployed fully
integrated power and heating products with leading energy company Suez GDF in
France.
