Contained Energy Awarded $1 Million
Support along the way provided by WFCG
Wright Fuel Cell Group (WFCG) Partner Contained Energy
has been awarded $1 million for its demonstration project titled
"Development of Direct Carbon Fuel Cell Systems with Breakthrough
Energy Density for Mobile Defense and Security Applications."
Contained Energy, Inc. (CEI) has exclusively licensed the Direct Carbon
Fuel Cell (DCFC) technology (up to 100 Megawatts) from Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
Commenting on the progress and achievements of
Contained Energy to date, President and CEO J. Kevin Berner expressed
appreciation for the resources provided by WFCG. “As a startup
company, access to a turnkey fuel cell organization is key.” |
