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日康州丹伯裏環球新聞通訊社 - 燃料電池能源公司(納斯達克:FCEL)宣佈將參加於8月17日至20日在明尼阿波利斯舉行的世界啤酒大會。該活動將爲燃料電池能源公司展示其在啤酒、食品和農業行業的CO2利用和可持續性創新解決方案提供平台。
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.
全球各國和公司正在抓緊推進減少碳足跡,特別是在能源、交通和重工業領域。但同時,有要求以更清潔的方式產生CO2的需求。CO2的供應的確定性和長期定價,尤其是在食品和飲料產業中,非常重要,因爲CO2爲啤酒提供氣泡、保持牛排新鮮、幫助我們處理甜點中的糖和pH平衡我們喝的水。事實上,CO2滲透到食品鏈中,是製造商、加工商、商店、餐廳和消費者之間的粘合劑。近年來,CO2市場由於多種原因出現了供應中斷,有些是暫時的,有些是更持久的,這使得食品和飲料公司難以找到需要的高質量CO2。此外,工業氣體供應商的價格飆升也直接影響到食品和飲料的價格。燃料電池能源的技術使食品和飲料供應商能夠消除這些負面的商業挑戰。
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.
近年來,由於多種原因,CO2市場供應中斷,這使得食品和飲料公司難以找到需要的高質量CO2。此外,食品和飲料公司正經歷着工業氣體供應商的價格飆升,從而直接影響了食品和飲料的定價。燃料電池能源的技術使得食品和飲料供應商能夠消除這些負面的商業挑戰。
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.
燃料電池能源的解決方案也符合爲日常問題提供清潔能源解決方案的競賽。該公司專利的熔融碳酸鹽燃料電池技術爲客戶提供了一個單一的現場系統,帶來了三個重要的好處。
- 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.
- 基礎負載電力,使食品和飲料生產設施實現自給自足,降低電力成本,並增加彈性和可靠性。
- 可以向鍋爐輸送蒸汽或熱水,從而降低了生產過程中鍋爐的排放。
- 可以立即消耗或儲存用於生產的食品和飲料級二氧化碳。
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.
利用燃料電池能源的專有技術來產生和儲存碳,保證了公司所需生產元素的穩定供應,提供了長期的價格透明度,並減少了對通常會排放CO2、SOx、NOx和其他顆粒物的工業碳源的依賴,從而增強了總體生命週期範圍排放。
"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."
「我們正在爲釀酒行業提供解決CO2需求的創新解決方案,」燃料電池能源銷售總監Lindsey Cole說道,「這是一種不同尋常的獲取CO2的方式,改變了供應商的思維方式,以及如何衡量他們的碳足跡和源控制。這是一個激動人心的時刻。」
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.
燃料電池能源目前正在其託靈頓生產設施投資自己的全面運行CO2回收示範工廠,每日可回收10噸飲料級CO2。在未來幾個月內完成後,該工廠將允許潛在客戶觀察運行中的工廠,並通過目標市場的食品和飲料公司來驗證分離的CO2的數量、質量或純度要求。
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.
高級別的CO2是食品和飲料公司的重要成分。它不僅是分子,也是支撐我們食品供應鏈的紐帶。例如,家畜肉類處理廠使用CO2在加工的不同階段進行溫度控制和郵寄成品,從而有助於維護我們食品供應鏈的質量與安全。CO2還被用於凍結水果和蔬菜,以及在您的早晨咖啡中,一些烘焙師在烘焙過程中使用CO2進行溫度和口感控制,以及對咖啡豆進行脫咖因處理。
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.
其他潛在的客戶包括使用CO2和石灰石製備碳酸鈣的糖生產商。該碳酸鈣在糖的加工中用作過濾器。當然,還有啤酒廠和裝瓶廠,他們需要大量的CO2來生產各種氣泡飲料,如啤酒、蘇打水、硬seltzers和氣泡水。
"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."
「燃料電池能源系統對於那些一直依賴工業氣體公司而沒有長期供應和定價保證的人們來說是一個改變,」Cole說。「今天公司所面臨的問題是CO2供應的不可靠性和價格波動性,這使得那些在薄利多銷的情況下運營並需要產品產出的穩定性的客戶面臨着挑戰。」
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.
燃料電池能源的碳捕集平台
燃料電池能源提供唯一已知的平台,使用碳酸鹽燃料電池從外部源中捕集CO2,同時會產生電力。在許多情況下,多餘的CO2有可能被回收成爲有價值的終端產品或出售給第三方。來自這種碳捕集技術的電力生成改善了捕集的淨成本經濟效益,使燃料電池在衆多設施實現淨零成爲了一種實用的解決方案。
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.
燃料電池能源最近擴展了與埃克森美孚技術和工程公司的聯合開發協議,以允許繼續開發碳捕集技術,包括支持路德丹製造複雜的試點項目。在荷蘭鵝卵石製造複雜的試點項目中,聯合開發的捕集碳燃料電池技術具有一種針對大規模裝置的最優化設計。該技術不僅可以捕獲碳同時生成電和氫氣,還可以進一步改善碳捕集的經濟效益,並有可能降低商場上進行碳捕集的難度。
