E.ON UK ORDERS ADDITIONAL 105 CERAMIC FUEL CELLS' PRODUCTS 28 November 2011

RNS Number : 8480S

Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited

28 November 2011

Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited [AIM/ASX: CFU], a leading developer of high efficiency and low emission electricity generators for homes and other buildings, is pleased to announce that it has received a new 105 unit order from E.ON UK, one of the UK's leading power and gas companies.

E.ON has also reaffirmed that they are committed to working with CFCL to launch integrated power and heating products for the UK market.

New agreements have been signed with E.ON covering both Ceramic Fuel Cells' BlueGen modular generator and the micro combined heat and power unit in development. Each product uses CFCL's Gennex fuel cell module as its core technology.

   BlueGen          (power + hot water) 

E.ON has ordered 41 BlueGen electricity generators to be deployed under the European Union Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking's Joint Technology Initiative ("JTI") fuel cell demonstration programme. The JTI project partners are E.ON, CFCL, Ideal Boilers Limited and HOMA Software BV of The Netherlands. Under the JTI project, the BlueGen units will be installed in homes and other buildings in the UK, Germany and The Netherlands, during early 2012.

Ideal Boilers is an established UK heating company that has produced boilers for over 100 years. HOMA Software is a software house specialising in remote monitoring and control of micro combined heat and power systems.

An additional four BlueGen units will be deployed by E.ON in demonstration and commercial customer sites.

BlueGen is the first and only fuel cell product to receive Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certification and be eligible for the UK feed in tariff, which provides 10.5 pence per kilowatt hour of electricity generated, plus an additional 3.1 pence per kilowatt hour of electricity exported to the grid. BlueGen customers are also eligible to receive a feed in tariff in Germany and The Netherlands.

BlueGen uses ceramic fuel cells to turn natural gas into electricity and heat for hot water, with each unit capable of producing more than three times the electricity needed to power the average UK home.(1) Surplus electricity can be sold back to the grid.

   Integrated micro combined heat and power   (power + hot water + home heating) 

CFCL and Ideal are also developing products which provide power, hot water and home heating. CFCL and Ideal have built two prototype units for testing during the 2011/12 heating season.

This completes the development work under the Product Development Agreement signed with E.ON in 2009.

CFCL and E.ON are continuing to work together to develop a range of product configurations for different UK market segments and customer requirements. Once the Product Development Agreement is completed during 2012 the next stage in the parties' collaboration is to negotiate and sign a Product Supply Agreement for commercial products. This is subject to the products performing as expected and to the parties agreeing on the material terms for a commercial product, such as product specification and warranties, pricing, firm order volumes and delivery schedule.

Under the JTI project, Ideal and CFCL will develop up to 60 integrated units, to be installed in homes in the United Kingdom, Benelux and Germany from late 2012. These integrated units will be manufactured by Ideal in the UK.

Unlike BlueGen, these integrated units provide home heating, and will be targeted at the market for replacement home boilers, which in the UK alone comprises 1.6 million(2) units per year.

TIDMCFU RNS Number : 5110H Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited 31 May 2011 Tuesday 31 May 2011 Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited [AIM/ASX:CFU], a leading developer of high efficiency and low emission electricity generation units for homes and other buildings, today announced it has signed a contract to sell 25 BlueGen gas-to-electricty units to Ausgrid (formerly Energy Australia). The units will be installed in homes in Newcastle as part of Ausgrid's 'Smart Grid, Smart City' project. The $100 million project, funded by the Australian Government, is Australia's largest smart grid project. The 25 BlueGen units - the second largest BlueGen order received by Ceramic Fuel Cells - will be installed in homes over the next few months, generating electricity from natural gas with the world's highest electrical efficiency, as well as providing hot water for the home. The 'Smart Grid, Smart City' initiative utilises a smart grid - a new type of electricity network that uses advanced communication, sensing and metering that more efficiently manages electricity supply and demand. The initiative is gathering robust information about the costs and benefits of smart grids, and will inform future decisions by government, electricity providers, technology suppliers and consumers across Australia. The project's consortium includes CSIRO, Ibm Australia, AGL, GE Energy, TransGrid, Newcastle City Council and the NSW Government. The order from Ausgrid follows the company's previous purchase of a BlueGen unit for its Smart Home in the Sydney suburb of Newington. Since the unit was installed in August 2010 it has generated 9,283 kilowatts ofpower and saved 10.4 tonnes of CO2 compared to power from the local grid. Importantly Ausgrid has run the unit in a variety of modes, including constant power and modulating power, to match the typical load of a home. The BlueGen at the Smart Home has been generating about twice as much electricity as the family has been using to run their household appliances and charge an electric vehicle. Any excess electricity generated by the BlueGen has been exported to the grid. Brendan Dow, Managing Director of Ceramic Fuel Cells, said: "We are delighted that Ausgrid has selected BlueGen units for its 'Smart Grid, Smart City' project. The distributed generation of electricity - creating electricity near the place of use, rather than centrally - is an important part of the future of smart grids." Ausgrid Managing Director George Maltabarow said: "We're testing whether adding distributed generation like fuel cells can make the grid more efficient by flattening out peaks in electricity demand, as well as deliver benefits to households."
