‘Green’ Way to Generate Heat and Electricity With Use of Fuel Cells

SOFC fuel cell

The generation of electricity and heat with no pollution and with considerably less emission of the greenhouse gas CO2 sounds too good to be true. However, it is possible with the so-called SOFC fuel cells, which Risø has been conducting research into for over 20 years. The technology is now on its way to reach Danish and … Continue reading
