Trapp, C; Estreich, P

The purpose of this report is to describe a coal gasification/fuel cell/cogeneration (GFC) project that is specific to the Georgetown University site in Washington, DC. The project at this site, as with those at the three other sites selected for this program, is intended to demonstrate the technical, economic, and financing viability of power generation by fuel cells using gas from coal. Mass and energy balances were prepared for the gasification, gas processing, fuel cell, and thermal-management systems using an eastern Kentucky bituminous coal, selected for its low tendency to cake in the gasifier bed.
