Boeing announced that it has installed a first-of-its-kind 50MW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) system
on a naval base in Port Hueneme, Calif.
The fuel cell system, which can
scale to 400KW, is unique in that it uses solar power to generate
hydrogen gas from seawater, which it then stores until power and it
releases the gas into a fuel cell stack to produce electricity, heat and
water.
Because the system can both store energy and produce
electricity, Boeing is calling the fuel cell system "reversible."
The
Navy's Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center is testing the fuel
cell system on a microgrid to determine its viability for use at both
remote bases and during overseas military missions.
Here is one of the first cars to run completely on Hydrogen.
