Emissions Summary Prepared by Leonardo Academy's Cleaner and Greener Program (Updated 08/04/04)

Energy 2004 Conference Offset Sources 

FuelCell Energy Inc. will donate emission reductions resulting from the energy generation delivered by operation of the companies Direct FuelCell® Power plants. The reductions resulted from 1,170 MW hours of power generated at the companies Danbury and Torrington CT locations. Because of the DFC’s® Ultra Clean renewable power production, this resulted in reductions of CO₂, NOx, SOx, PM10, and Hg emissions.
