AFC Energy extends presence into European power market at the Covestro industrial park Brunsbüttel
AFC Energy, the industrial fuel cell power company, is pleased to announce it is expanding its position into the German power market following commencement of engineering works for the deployment of an initial 1MW proprietary fuel cell system at the Covestro Industrial Park Brunsbüttel, owned by the Covestro Deutschland AG (Covestro).
Preliminary engineering work commenced in Brunsbüttel, Germany, on the 6th April 2017 with representatives from Covestro (formerly Bayer Material Science), planting GmbH and AFC Energy present.
The engineering work is being led by AFC Energy and is framed around the installation of an initial 1MW alkaline fuel cell system as the Brunsbüttel site with hydrogen (H2) sourced from Covestro’s H2 grid. Power generated would be sold into the local power grid under long term power purchase agreements. Proximity of the company’s fuel cell system to the H2 source also offers the potential to materially expand the project in due course.
