The article very briefly describes a demonstration project which uses landfill gas to operate a fuel cell generator. A 200-kW, 20-ton, ONSI PC 25 phosphoric acid fuel cell runs off of about 20% of the landfill gas. The landfill gas-to-electricity power plant consists of three major parts: a fuel processor, the power section, and the power conditioner. Chlorinated compounds, sulfur compounds, and other contaminants are removed from the landfill gas prior to use by the fuel cell. About 1.6 million kilowatt-hours power generated from the plant over the 18-month demonstration period is added to the Connecticut Light and Power Company grid.
