FuelCell Energy has signed an exclusive option agreement with the County of Orange regarding the utilisation of landfill gas at the Coyote Canyon landfill in Newport Beach, California for a fuel cell project.
The option agreement, won via a competitive solicitation, provides FuelCell Energy an exclusive right to develop the landfill gas as a source of renewable biofuel, expected to culminate in the negotiation and execution of a Landfill Gas Delivery and Site License Agreement.
The US-based company expects to install operating fuel cell systems that will produce both renewable electricity and renewable hydrogen (H2). With targeted output of between 1,200 to 2,400 kilograms per day of H2, this plant will supply renewable H2 to the largest fuel cell vehicle market, Los Angeles, in late 2020.
