FuelCell Energy to Show Industry How to Sustainably Create CO2 at World Brewing Congress
DANBURY, Conn., Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: FCEL) announced its participation in the World Brewing Congress, taking place August 17-20 in Minneapolis, Minn. The event will provide a platform for FuelCell Energy to showcase its innovative solutions for CO2 utilization and sustainability in the brewing, food, and agriculture industries.
2024年8月15日康州丹伯里环球新闻通讯社 - 燃料电池能源公司(纳斯达克:FCEL)宣布将参加于8月17日至20日在明尼阿波利斯举行的世界啤酒大会。该活动将为燃料电池能源公司展示其在啤酒、食品和农业行业的CO2利用和可持续性创新解决方案提供平台。
Countries and companies around the world are rushing to reduce their carbon footprints, particularly with respect to the energy, transportation, and heavy industry sectors. However, at the same time, there is a demand for a cleaner way of generating CO2. The certainty of supply and long-term pricing for CO2, especially in the food and beverage industry, is mission critical because CO2 provides the bubbles in beer, keeps steak fresh, helps process the sugar in dessert, and pH balances the water we drink. In fact, CO2 permeates the food chain and is a glue between manufacturers, processors, stores, restaurants, and the consumer.
全球各国和公司正在抓紧推进减少碳足迹,特别是在能源、交通和重工业领域。但同时,有要求以更清洁的方式产生CO2的需求。CO2的供应的确定性和长期定价,尤其是在食品和饮料产业中,非常重要,因为CO2为啤酒提供气泡、保持牛排新鲜、帮助我们处理甜点中的糖和pH平衡我们喝的水。事实上,CO2渗透到食品链中,是制造商、加工商、商店、餐厅和消费者之间的粘合剂。近年来,CO2市场由于多种原因出现了供应中断,有些是暂时的,有些是更持久的,这使得食品和饮料公司难以找到需要的高质量CO2。此外,工业气体供应商的价格飙升也直接影响到食品和饮料的价格。燃料电池能源的技术使食品和饮料供应商能够消除这些负面的商业挑战。
In recent years, there have been supply disruptions in the CO2 market for a variety of reasons – some temporary and others more lasting – that have made it harder for food and beverage companies to find the high-quality CO2 they need. Also, food and beverage companies are experiencing price spikes from industrial gas suppliers that directly impact food and beverage pricing. FuelCell Energy's technology enables food and beverage suppliers to eliminate these negative business challenges.
近年来,由于多种原因,CO2市场供应中断,这使得食品和饮料公司难以找到需要的高质量CO2。此外,食品和饮料公司正经历着工业气体供应商的价格飙升,从而直接影响了食品和饮料的定价。燃料电池能源的技术使得食品和饮料供应商能够消除这些负面的商业挑战。
FuelCell Energy's solution is also in step with the race for clean energy solutions to everyday problems. The company's patented molten carbonate fuel cell technology provides customers with three significant benefits from a single onsite system.
燃料电池能源的解决方案也符合为日常问题提供清洁能源解决方案的竞赛。该公司专利的熔融碳酸盐燃料电池技术为客户提供了一个单一的现场系统,带来了三个重要的好处。
- Baseload power to make food and beverage production facilities energy self-sufficient, reduces power costs and adds resiliency and reliability.
- Steam and/or hot water that can be sent to boilers, reducing emissions from boilers used in the production process.
- Food and beverage grade CO2 can be consumed immediately or stored for later use in production.
- 基础负载电力,使食品和饮料生产设施实现自给自足,降低电力成本,并增加弹性和可靠性。
- 可以向锅炉输送蒸汽或热水,从而降低了生产过程中锅炉的排放。
- 可以立即消耗或储存用于生产的食品和饮料级二氧化碳。
Utilizing FuelCell Energy's proprietary technology to generate and store carbon ensures steadiness in a company's supply of essential production elements, offers long-term price transparency, and diminishes dependence on industrial carbon sources that typically emit CO2, SOx, NOx, along with other particles, thereby enhancing total life cycle scope emissions.
利用燃料电池能源的专有技术来产生和储存碳,保证了公司所需生产元素的稳定供应,提供了长期的价格透明度,并减少了对通常会排放CO2、SOx、NOx和其他颗粒物的工业碳源的依赖,从而增强了总体生命周期范围排放。
"We're offering an innovative solution to solve CO2 needs for the brewing industry," said Lindsey Cole, sales director for food and beverage at FuelCell Energy. "It's a different way of looking at how you acquire your CO2, shifting the mindset of the suppliers and how companies measure the carbon footprint of their carbon and source control. It's an exciting time."
“我们正在为酿酒行业提供解决CO2需求的创新解决方案,”燃料电池能源销售总监Lindsey Cole说道,“这是一种不同寻常的获取CO2的方式,改变了供应商的思维方式,以及如何衡量他们的碳足迹和源控制。这是一个激动人心的时刻。”
FuelCell Energy is currently investing in its own fully operational CO2 recovery demonstration plant at its Torrington, Conn., production facility that will recover 10 tons per day of beverage grade CO2. When completed in the coming months, the facility will allow potential customers to observe the operating plant and, given the targeted market of food and beverage companies, sample and test separated CO2 to verify quantity, quality, or purity requirements.
燃料电池能源目前正在其托灵顿生产设施投资自己的全面运行CO2回收示范工厂,每日可回收10吨饮料级CO2。在未来几个月内完成后,该工厂将允许潜在客户观察运行中的工厂,并通过目标市场的食品和饮料公司来验证分离的CO2的数量、质量或纯度要求。
High-grade CO2 is a crucial ingredient for food and beverage companies. It's more than a molecule, it is a thread that supports our food supply. Meat processors, for example, use CO2 for temperature control throughout various stages of processing and for shipping of final products, which helps maintain the quality and safety of our food supply. CO2 is also used to freeze fruits and vegetables and in your morning cup of coffee - some roasters use CO2 in the roasting process for temperature and taste and in decaffeination of beans.
高级别的CO2是食品和饮料公司的重要成分。它不仅是分子,也是支撑我们食品供应链的纽带。例如,家畜肉类处理厂使用CO2在加工的不同阶段进行温度控制和邮寄成品,从而有助于维护我们食品供应链的质量与安全。CO2还被用于冻结水果和蔬菜,以及在您的早晨咖啡中,一些烘焙师在烘焙过程中使用CO2进行温度和口感控制,以及对咖啡豆进行脱咖因处理。
Other potential customers include sugar producers who use CO2 and limestone to make calcium carbonate. That carbonate is used as a filter in sugar processing. Then, of course, there are the breweries and bottlers who require abundant CO2 to produce a wide range of carbonated beverages such as beer, soda, hard seltzers and sparkling water.
其他潜在的客户包括使用CO2和石灰石制备碳酸钙的糖生产商。该碳酸钙在糖的加工中用作过滤器。当然,还有啤酒厂和装瓶厂,他们需要大量的CO2来生产各种气泡饮料,如啤酒、苏打水、硬seltzers和气泡水。
"The FuelCell Energy system is a shift for folks who have relied exclusively on industrial gas companies without long term assurance of supply and pricing," Cole said. "What companies face today is unreliability of CO2 supply and price volatility, which makes it challenging for customers who operate on thin margins and require consistency in product output."
“燃料电池能源系统对于那些一直依赖工业气体公司而没有长期供应和定价保证的人们来说是一个改变,”Cole说。“今天公司所面临的问题是CO2供应的不可靠性和价格波动性,这使得那些在薄利多销的情况下运营并需要产品产出的稳定性的客户面临着挑战。”
FuelCell Energy's Carbon Capture Platform
FuelCell Energy offers the only known platform that uses carbonate fuel cells to capture CO2 from an external source while simultaneously generating power. In many cases, the excess CO2 has potential to be recycled into a valuable end-product or sold to third parties. Power generation from this carbon capture technology improves the net cost of capture economics, making the fuel cell a practical solution on the path to net-zero for many facilities.
燃料电池能源的碳捕集平台
燃料电池能源提供唯一已知的平台,使用碳酸盐燃料电池从外部源中捕集CO2,同时会产生电力。在许多情况下,多余的CO2有可能被回收成为有价值的终端产品或出售给第三方。来自这种碳捕集技术的电力生成改善了捕集的净成本经济效益,使燃料电池在众多设施实现净零成为了一种实用的解决方案。
FuelCell Energy recently extended a joint development agreement with ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company to allow for continued development work for carbon capture technology, including support of the pilot project at the Esso Nederland BV Rotterdam Manufacturing Complex. The jointly developed carbon capture fuel cell technology to be demonstrated in Rotterdam features an optimized design for large scale installations. The technology, which captures carbon while simultaneously generating electricity and hydrogen, could further improve the economics of carbon capture and potentially lower the barrier to broader adoption of carbon capture in the marketplace.
燃料电池能源最近扩展了与埃克森美孚技术和工程公司的联合开发协议,以允许继续开发碳捕集技术,包括支持路德丹制造复杂的试点项目。在荷兰鹅卵石制造复杂的试点项目中,联合开发的捕集碳燃料电池技术具有一种针对大规模装置的最优化设计。该技术不仅可以捕获碳同时生成电和氢气,还可以进一步改善碳捕集的经济效益,并有可能降低商场上进行碳捕集的难度。
