Ceramic Fuel Cells announces second European order for BlueGen

Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (AIM/ASX: CFU), a leading developer of high efficiency and low emission electricity generation units for homes and other buildings, has received an order for its BlueGen power and heating unit from Kiwa Gas Technology in The Netherlands for delivery in Q2 2010.

Kiwa Gas Technology provides services in the area of gas technology nationally and internationally. Its expertise in the area of extraction, distribution and utilisation of gas is used for, among other things: advising, engineering, consultancy, product development and training. Kiwa Gas Technology serves many global customers, including many large energy companies.

Kiwa Gas Technology will test and operate the BlueGen unit at its facility in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, on behalf of leading gas utility GasTerra.

GasTerra, also based in The Netherlands, is an international supplier and trader of natural gas and a Fortune 500 company. GasTerra is owned by Shell, ExxonMobil and the Dutch government and has a strong position in the Dutch gas market. In 2009 GasTerra recorded revenues of 25 billion Euros (approx. A$40 billion).

GasTerra is actively investing in the development of highly efficient gas appliances like small scale power and heating products (mCHP). Jur Kruger, project manager Energy Transition at GasTerra, recently told the parliament of the Dutch province Groningen that GasTerra believes that within the next ten years one million mCHP units could be installed in The Netherlands.

BlueGen is the latest breakthrough in small scale electricity generation. About the size of a dishwasher, each BlueGen unit can produce twice the electricity needed to power an average home, with the surplus electricity sold back to the grid.

BlueGen also produces heat, to make enough hot water for an average home. BlueGen units can generate electricity more efficiently than the current European power grid, significantly reducing a home’s carbon emissions and cutting energy bills.

The order from Kiwa Gas Technology is Ceramic Fuel Cells’ second order for BlueGen units in Europe, following a recent order from German utility EWE. Ceramic Fuel Cells has also deployed fully integrated mCHP products with leading energy companies and appliance manufacturers in France and the United Kingdom.
