Feasibility Study of Coal Gasification/Fuel Cell/Cogeneration Project. Washington, DC Site. Project Description

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to describe a Coal Gasification/Fuel Cell/Cogeneration (GFC) project the is specific to the Georgetown University site in Washington, DC. The project at this site, as with those at the three other sites selected for this program, is intended to demonstrate the technical, economic and financing viability of power generation by fuel cells using gas from coal. Mass and energy balances have been prepared for the gasification, gas processing, fuel cell and thermal management systems using an East Kentucky design bituminous coal, selected for its low tendency to cake in the gasifier bed.
