Decentralized Advanced Cogen with H2¤

Introduction¤

The LT DEC advanced cogeneration with H2 is based on the production of heat and electricity thanks to the fuel cell technology. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell where air and a given fuel (NG, H2, biogas) are the inputs.

Fuel cell works with an electrochemical conversion where the oxygen from air extracts electrons from the fuel across a conducting membrane. Fuel cells cogenerate heat and electricity with a thermal efficiency of 0.22 and an electrical efficiency of 0.58.
