The Onsite Fuel Cell Program is designed to produce data for the pioneering of fuel cell use. A fuel cell is an electrochemical device designed to transform the chemical energy of a hydrorich fuel, such as natural gas, into electricity. Under an Energy Service concept, onsite delivery and sale to consumers is promoted. Field test efforts are surveyed--a commercial laundry in Portland, Oregon, for example. Participating utilities in 40 kW cell field tests are mapped out. A project which will define a fuel cell power plant to meet cost requirements is underway.
