Wartsila to deliver the world's first SOFC fuel cell power plant using landfill gas to the Vaasa housing fair site

摘要

According to Wartsila fuel cell unit Director Erkko Fontell, the company will deliver a unique fuel cell unit producing electric and heating power to the Vaasa Housing Fair site in Western Finland. Fontell added, "The fuel cell power plant, which is based on planar SOFC technology, is the first of its kind in the world. The plant is fuelled by biogas or methane originating from a nearby landfill. At the first stage, it will produce an electric output of approximately 20 kW and a thermal output of 14 to 17 kW." The fuel cell power plant delivered by Wartsila will produce both electricity and heating for the fair site's needs at very high efficiency.
