Neuss: fuel cells - use the technology of tomorrow today December 2nd, 2012 @ 11:09 am> Editorial ? Leave a comment Neuss - (swn) energy is an ever more precious, because more expensive commodity. To save costs and in energy terms while remaining independent, you have to find new ways. Focus on renewable energies is an option to invest in energy technology of the future, the other.
TopAds: Stadtwerke Neuss offer in cooperation with the manufacturer Ceramic Fuel Cells (CFC) that opportunity: the efficiency of fuel cell engine. This technology is an effective alternative for electricity and heat production, but she works with an overall efficiency of 85% two to three times as efficient as traditional technologies. The "fuel cell action" allows the swn are ten property owners with increased power requirements to use the technology of tomorrow today.
swn rely on innovation and efficiency
Stadtwerke Neuss deal as a modern business enterprise with new, active designed products and services, such as fuel cell technology, to offer its clients the possibilities for energy-saving opportunities for the valuable asset can. At the same time, they are positioning themselves as aggressively in the market and are available for both the Neusser citizens as well as nationally a partner that future technology makes it accessible and offer compensation opportunities for the gradual increase in energy prices. "No one can be closed for what tomorrow will bring - in our case, that means we want to make people aware that energy is also more expensive in the coming years due to the growing demand and the lower incidence. Of course we want as offering solutions and alternatives for electrical generation, "said Stephan Lommetz, CEO of swn, and continues:" The cooperation with CFC we go to the future with a step and offer our customers the possibility to future technology to save energy and money "is excited about the Lommetz shows concern for cooperation.

Property owners with increased current consumption It also provides a chance to use tomorrow's technology today, while protecting the environment and your wallet. "The first ten customers, we now offer a promotion with additional savings guarantee by a discount contracting rate. The customer pays flat rate is 200 euros per month. For this we make the fuel cell ready and secure "and the operation, John Schulz, head of industrial and commercial Sales explained at Stadtwerke Neuss. With the fuel cell, the customer will have a term of 15 years is expected to achieve an economic benefit of approximately 11,000 euros compared to the separate production of electricity and heat. "And without any risk from the operation of this innovative technology," said Schulz. In the coming weeks, the utility will address potential customers and draw attention to the possibility of a fuel cell to produce electricity and heat generation. In parallel, swn customers can also register themselves and so the top ten property owners are receiving the fuel cell to the special conditions.
Fuel cell is the future Who uses fuel cell technology, relies on efficient and clean power generation: does not work as usual on classic combustion but on an electrochemical reaction. "By use of natural gas or the fuel cell are ultimately biomethane supplied hydrogen and oxygen from the air. In the reaction of the two gases, a current flow. Same time, the reaction releases heat, which then a building can be heated, "said Dirk Hunke, head of energy services swn of the technical principle of the fuel point. Special feature: The conversion of chemical energy stored in the used fuel into electricity and heat is no intermediate step. This achieves the technology of the future an unusually high efficiency, which means a CO 2 saving of up to 50% compared to the condensing boiler or central electricity supply. In addition, end users can cut their electricity costs roughly. Thus, the fuel cell technology resources, climate and budget gentle on. Andreas Ballhausen, Executive Vice President at CFC explained an additional bonus: "Despite the use of hydrogen, no special precautions are necessary because the gas has to be handled just as safe as other fuels and gases also. The security of such systems, therefore, differs from the conventional non-boiler. "Moreover, the operation of the fuel cell unit is monitored by an internal control. Deviations occur at automatic corrective action or the shutdown of the device.

In its cooperation partner Ceramic Fuel Cells, Stadtwerke Neuss. One of the world's leading manufacturers of innovative fuel cell with the label "Made in Germany" on their side Since 2006, the CFC is the production site Heinberg in the German market. The plants produced there called BlueGen use efficient technology and thus achieve an electrical efficiency, which is up to 60 percent globally unique. The developments are based on this so-called solid-solid oxide fuel cell. This type is more suitable for continuous operation than other versions, offers a flexible use of hydrocarbon-based fuels - preferably natural gas - which it also more efficient. Based on this fuel cell technology CFC is the only company in Europe, a commercial system for power generation, and combined heat and power cogeneration plants on both residential and commercial use.
