Fuel-cell Waste-to-Energy Plant Could Raise Energy Efficiency?
Two UK companies announced plans to use fuel cells to increase the efficiency of energy conversion at waste-to-energy plants by as much as 60 percent.In a typical waste-to-energy plant, waste is converted to hydrogen syngas using plasma gasification, a process using extremely high temperatures and controlled oxygen. Syngas is then converted to electricity using internal combustion engine incinerator.
Waste2Tricity plans to improve the efficiency of energy conversion by using an alkaline fuel cell to convert syngas into electricity. Although the proposed plant initially is expected to use an internal combustion engine incinerator, Waste2Tricity plans to incorporate fuel cell technology within four to five years.
