The goods would then be transferred to feeder ships for transfer to
SECA ports such as Southampton.
Acumentrics is one of only six companies in the United States awarded work under DOE's
SECA industry program.
What makes
SECA groundbreaking is that it is working to develop a modular, low-cost, solid oxide fuel cell system specifically for use in a new kind of coal plant.
The performance and durability of our core technology against
SECA objectives were well ahead of what people had expected at this stage," said Robert Stokes, Versa Power's President and CEO.
For the third year in a row, the Governor will pledge his entire salary through
SECA.
FuelCell Energy completed an 11- year development program in 2004 for its DFC power plants and has been a prime contractor in the
SECA program since 2003.
Other research partners in the
SECA Coal Based Systems program include the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.
Being part of this new DOE program will enable us to begin scale-up of our 5 to 10 kilowatt SOFC stack that has demonstrated successful performance under the
SECA program," said Robert Stokes, Versa Power's President and CEO.
The DOE selected FuelCell Energy to be prime contractor for this program based on the company's high temperature fuel cell expertise, which includes: progress on its SOFC development in Phase I of the
SECA Program, development and commercialization of sub-megawatt and multi-megawatt carbonate Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plants, previous experience with operating DFC power plants on coal gases, and successful results of its Direct FuelCell/Turbine(R) (DFC/T(R)) combined-cycle product in the DOE's Vision 21 Program.
The
SECA initiative within the DoE is driving the rapid development and commercialization of solid oxide fuel cell technology in the mass market for stationary distributed power generation.
Having FuelCell Energy's Canadian operations join Versa will expand our technology base to further advance our
SECA program efforts and enable us to pursue other government-sponsored SOFC development projects," said Robert Stokes, CEO of Versa.
Welcoming the funding Bozena Rojkowicz, Chairperson for the group said: Strabane Ethnic Community Association (
SECA) is delighted with this additional funding which will allow
