Fuel Cell technology can produce heat and electricity efficiently from hydrogen in an electrochemical cell. Over the past decade, fuel cells have been looked upon as a possible alternative to conventional fossil fuel combustion in response to the growing concern over anthropogenic climate change.
Juniper’s particular expertise in gasification and pyrolysis of solid wastes for power generation has led to several studies on integrated gasification and fuel cell technologies. Coupling biomass gasification with fuel cells offers the potential of providing a source of clean, renewable power especially in rural regions with significant quantities of waste biomass and animal manure.
Juniper has undertaken several projects reviewing the commercial potential of a variety of fuel cell applications for private companies and public sector entities in North America and throughout Europe.
There are several fuel cell technologies available which operate under a wide range of conditions.
