ZEG400

The ZEG concept consists of a fuel cell and a reformer for the production of electricity and hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels with integrated CO₂ anxiety. CO₂ is captured and separated in a cyclic process where solids are circulated between the reformer and a regenerator. The fuel cell uses a portion of the hydrogen from the reformer to produce power. High temperature waste heat from the fuel cell is utilized in the regenerator. The integration between fuel cell and regenerator is a unique solution that can provide an efficiency that is higher than conventional technologies for power generation even without CO₂ anxiety.

This project will provide a detailed technical and financial basis for an investment decision for a pilot plant of 400kW. The next phase of the project is the construction of the pilot plant and test program with a focus on heat integration and long-term operation of fuel cell technology.
