    FuelCell Energy, Inc. (FCEL) (Nasdaq:FCEL), a global leader in the design, manufacture, operation and service of ultra-clean, efficient and reliable fuel cell power plants, today announced a significant operating milestone with the generation of two billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of ultra-clean and renewable electricity produced by Direct FuelCell® (DFC)® power plants since the first commercial installation in 2003.

    "This is a noteworthy achievement highlighting the growing installed base of our clean and efficient power generation solutions that provide continuous power to the electric grid or on-site for large power users that value enhanced energy security and power reliability," said Chip Bottone, President & Chief Executive Officer, FuelCell Energy, Inc.

    Two billion kWh of electricity is adequate to power more than 181,000 average size U.S. homes for one year. With more than 110 DFC plants producing environmentally friendly power and usable high quality heat at more than 50 locations globally, DFC plants are eliminating the emission of a significant level of pollutants and substantially reducing carbon emissions compared to the average U.S. fossil-fuel power plant.

    Two billion kWh of ultra-clean fuel cell power production configured in a combined heat & power mode (CHP) benefits public health and helps FuelCell Energy customers achieve sustainability goals by virtually eliminating criteria pollutants including nitrogen oxide (NOx) that causes smog, sulfur dioxide (SOx) that contributes to acid rain, and particulate matter (PM10) that aggravates asthma. Compared to the average U.S. fossil-fuel power plant, this level of fuel cell power generation avoided the emission of approximately 16,900 tons of these criteria pollutants as well as approximately 1,068,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, which is equivalent to removing more than 499,000 passenger vehicles from the road.

    "We installed our first commercial fuel cell plant in 2003 and announced one billion kilowatt hours of ultra-clean power production in January 2011, which is a time span of eight years," continued Mr. Bottone. "We generated the second billion kilowatt hours in just under two years and the next billion is expected to be generated in less than one year as a 15 megawatt fuel cell park is nearing completion in Bridgeport, Connecticut and a 59 megawatt fuel cell park, the world's largest, is nearing completion in South Korea."

    Fuel cells electrochemically convert a fuel source into electricity and heat in a highly efficient process that emits virtually no pollutants due to the absence of combustion. The stationary fuel cell power plants manufactured by FuelCell Energy are fuel flexible, capable of operating on clean natural gas, on-site renewable biogas, or directed biogas. The power plants provide continuous baseload power and can be sited where the power is used, including both on-site applications and electric grid support. The combination of near-zero pollutants, modest land-use needs, and quiet operating nature facilitates locating the fuel cell power plants in urban locations and even within occupied buildings.

    Milestone Year For Fuel Cell Energy Installations

    Bloom Energy’s big-name corporate clients have helped it install more than 100 megawatts of electricity generation capacity in the past 12 years. One of eBay’s new data centers even relies on the company’s Energy Servers as its primary energy source.

    But one of Bloom’s competitors, FuelCell Energy, apparently has sold triple that capacity – 300 megawatts, which are installed or in “backlog.” That includes the world’s biggest fuel cell “park,” a 59-megawatt installation nearing completion in South Korea. (It’s supposed to go online before the end of December.)

    “We installed our first commercial fuel cell plant in 2003 and announced 1 billion kilowatt-hours of ultra-clean power production in January 2011, which is a time span of eight years,” said Chip Bottone, president and CEO of FuelCell Energy. “We generated the second billion kilowatt-hours in just under two years, and the next billion is expected to be generated in less than one year as a 15-megawatt fuel cell park is nearing completion in Bridgeport, Conn., and a 59-megawatt fuel cell park, the world’s largest, is nearing completion in South Korea.”

    For perspective, 2 billion kilowatt-hours of energy is roughly the amount of power that it takes to run about 181,000 average size U.S. homes for one year.

    Just to drive things home even more. The entire generation capacity installed by fuel cell technology vendors in 2012 was 120 megawatts, almost three times the amount installed in 2011, according to data from Navigant Research.

    The number of companies in the sector generating revenue of more than $1 million almost doubled last year: from 24 to 42.

    “Previously, the very survival of the industry was in question,” said Kerry-Ann Adamson, research director with Navigant Research. “Today, in a number of ways, the fuel cell sector is stronger and healthier than ever.”

    FuelCell Energy’s technology, called Direct FuelCell power plants, uses natural gas or renewable biogas (from sources such as wastewater treatment or food processing) to generate electricity. The technology is being used in 50 locations globally, by businesses that are seeking an alternate power source – either to meet some sort of renewable energy portfolio goal or just to hedge bets against grid power failures.

    The market segment targeted by Bloom and FuelCell Energy is for stationary equipment. Both are attempting to position their technology as appropriate for primary power in business or industrial settings, as well as for back-up applications.

    Other companies attempting to reach the same spaces include AFC Energy (from the United Kingdom), Altergy Systems (U.S.), Ballard Power Systems (Canada), ClearEdge Power (the U.S. company that bought some the United Technologies fuel-cell division in mid-2013), and Electro Power Systems (Italy).
