Proudly presents Tom Hennig his miracle of technology. Since last week, is the first fuel cell in the Main-Tauber-Kreis in operation.
Around 13,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year and a day around 200 liters of hot water for the heating system supplies the fuel cell, which just takes the place in order to claim a washing machine. The current consume Tom Hennig and his family for the most part in their family house itself, the excess is fed into the grid; the heat supports the heating system. Was co-financed the purchase of the 25,000-euro unit with just under 10,000 euros on the program "turning heat in the boiler room" of the State of Baden-Württemberg.
As an investment for the future Hennig sees this "BlueGen conditioning" of the German-Australian fuel cell manufacturer "Ceramic Fuel Cells" in the basement of his house. Because in addition to the impressive efficiency of the plant by about 60 percent, only a fraction of carbon dioxide a comparable conventional heating going into the atmosphere. "With many such small decentralized power plants they could to huge power lines do without, because the current is generated because, where it will be used," explains the architect heating.
As the fuel cell works is a complex matter. Explains roughly reacted with a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell hydrogen with oxygen to form water, which is removed continuously from the fuel cell. The reaction equation corresponds to the hydrogen-oxygen reaction, but it does not explode, but controlled from.
Since about a year doing the kind of investment in the care of the school Diakoniekrankenhaus in Schwäbisch Hall easily their service. In Schäftersheim will provide an office building with heat and electricity from next week on further in the Main-Tauber-Kreis.
"BlueGen" is the first market-ready, natural gas-powered and highly efficient micro power plant based on fuel cells to generate electricity and heat supply of residential buildings, public institutions and small businesses. The heart form festoxidkeramische fuel cells. They are among the most efficient energy conversion systems that are currently on the market. Fuel cells have the optimum operating point an electrical output of 1.5 kilowatts (kWhel) and provide up to 13,000 kWh of electricity per year. Through the world's unique high electrical efficiency of up to 60 percent, end customers can halve their current electricity costs roughly. The overall efficiency increases by the additional use of the share of thermal energy for water heating and heating support to up to 85 percent. The systems are ideal for homes with above-average power requirement and low heat demand, eg for modern office buildings, small to medium-sized businesses and public institutions as well as Beistelllösung in multi-family and single-family homes with heat pump.
For innovative owners of real estate investments offer in conjunction with an electric car not only clean, but also lucrative alternative to the internal combustion engine. Thus, at night, when all electricity consumers are largely turned off in the house, the electric car is plugged into the wall outlet or charging station and not only cheap but also be loaded with little carbon dioxide emissions.
Fuel cells offer the possibility of a low-carbon and decentralized energy. So that they can make a significant contribution to renewable energies with public participation. Compared to the German electricity mix can be about 50 percent of CO2 emissions saved.
With the fuel cell current is produced where it is mainly consumed. This makes them the ideal counterpart to unsteady energy sources such as solar and wind energy. The energy is independent of the weather and constantly available and can compensate for variations in the power grid. Likewise, such a decentralized solution for the production help to reduce the large amount of investment in renovation and expansion of the electricity grid and to avoid power losses.

A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel continuously supplied and an oxidant into usable electrical energy. In fuel cells, there are no complex exhaust but only simple reaction products such as water, carbon dioxide and small amounts of other gases. Because of their low reaction temperatures, no nitrogen oxides form. Fuel cells are clean and quiet, and have a high efficiency. Thus, the hydrogen-oxygen cell uses about 50 to 60 percent of the energy contained in the fuel (compared to gasoline engine 15 to 20, Stirling engine 35 to 40 percent).
