FuelCell Energy, Chart Industries Collaborate on Carbon Capture, Hydrogen

FuelCell Energy and Chart Industries have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop CO₂ capture for utilization or sequestration and hydrogen generation and storage. FuelCell Energy contributes its experience in creating two high-temperature electrochemical fuel cell energy platforms for power decarbonization and hydrogen production. In contrast, Chart is a global manufacturer of advanced equipment in the Nexus of Clean, encompassing CO₂ and hydrogen compression and liquefaction, and equipment for the complete supply chains of both molecules.

Jason Few, CEO of FuelCell Energy, commented on Chart's diverse technologies and capabilities in support of all stages of the liquid gas supply chain. "The amalgamation of Chart and FuelCell Energy technology will comprehensively cater to customer requirements for hydrogen and CO2 liquefaction, compression, storage, beverage-grade CO₂, and transport," Few stated. He further highlighted the potential for their collaboration to provide the food and beverage industry with stable pricing, availability, and quality of beverage-grade CO₂.

Jillian Evanko, CEO of Chart Industries, Inc., underscored the alignment of FuelCell Energy's prowess in hydrogen production and carbon capture with Chart's sustainability objectives. "There is a significant opportunity to combine our technologies to influence how carbon dioxide is utilized, stored, or sequestered and to facilitate the safe and dependable distribution and use of hydrogen, an essential fuel for the energy transition," Evanko said.
