Fuel Cell to Power Connecticut Science Center

"A 200kW UTC Power fuel cell … at the new Connecticut Science Center in Hartford … will generate 100 percent of the electricity demanded by the facility on an annual basis once operational … will be the first such facility to generate most of its own energy on-site with ultra clean, quiet fuel cell power."

" … reduce the burden on the New England power grid and its impact on the environment … will prevent the release of more than 270 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually by using the Model 200 PureCell® system rather than relying on a traditional fossil-fuel-burning powerplant … one of the first fuel cell installations in the state to employ net metering, a process by which surplus power from the fuel cell is fed to the utility grid at night when the facility’s power demand is less."
