Wärtsilä fuel cell powers housing fair

Finland's Minister for Economic Affairs, Mauri Pekkarinen, unveiled the New Energy power plant at the Vaasa Housing Fair on Tuesday. The fuel cell unit, developed by Wärtsilä, is based on planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. The company claims it is the first of its kind in the world. The plant is fuelled by methane gas from a nearby landfill.

The fuel cell power plant will produce both electricity and heating for the fair site's needs. This is Wärtsilä's first field application of the technology. During the initial phase, it will produce an electric output of approximately 20 kW and a thermal output of 14 to 17 kW.
