CERAMIC FUEL CELLS OBTAINS ‘CE’ APPROVAL FOR BLUEGEN PRODUCT
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 successfully obtained ‘CE’ safety approval for its BlueGen gas-to-electricity generator product.
Once a product has ‘CE’ safety approval it can be sold to customers and put into service throughout Europe.
A BlueGen unit has undergone two weeks of rigorous and extensive testing at the laboratories of independent certification specialist Kiwa Gastec in The Netherlands. Kiwa Gastec is the leading certification company in Europe for fuel cell technology.
This testing program assessed the BlueGen and its components for compliance with all relevant European safety codes and requirements addressing the Gas Appliance Directive (GAD), the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC-D) & the Low Voltage Directive (LVD). The testing was completed on 2 April.
Ceramic Fuel Cells has received confirmation from Kiwa Gastec that the BlueGen successfully passed all the required tests and upon the completion of the administrative process Kiwa Gastec will issue a formal CE certificate for the BlueGen product.
BlueGen units generate electricity in the home far more efficiently than the current European power grid, cutting energy bills and significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Connecting to existing gas pipes and about the size of a dishwasher, BlueGen uses fuel cell technology to convert mains gas into electricity. Over a year, each BlueGen can produce twice the electricity needed to power an average home. Surplus electricity can be sold back to the local power grid. BlueGen also produces enough heat to satisfy the average home’s daily needs for hot water.
Ceramic Fuel Cells is continuing to build its order book for BlueGen units from major utilities and other foundation customers in Germany, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Japan and Australia.
Using the same fuel cell technology, Ceramic Fuel Cells is also developing fully integrated power and heating products with leading energy companies E.ON UK in the United Kingdom and GdF Suez in France.
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.
