FuelCell Energy Selected to Enhance its Ultra-Clean Power Plant for `On-the-Fly` Dual Fuel Operation with Standard Propane Gas
Thursday August 25, 8:30 am ET
Additional Fuel That Can Be Stored Safely on Site Enhances DFC Power Plants` Ability to Serve as Secure Electricity Source against Interruptions in Fuel Supplies


DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 2005-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL - News), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean electric power plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced its selection by Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC), of Johnstown, Pa., to modify its fuel cell power plant to run on HD-5-grade propane and switch rapidly between fuels. The system and engineering enhancements will enable the stationary power plant to generate base load electricity even in situations when fuel supplies are threatened due to natural disaster or security issues.

The R&D project is being sponsored by the federal government to augment the ability of Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) power plants with a "dual fuel" capacity. CTC is the primary contractor to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, involving its Engineer Research and Development Center`s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC--CERL).

The fuel-switching process, which is being developed for FuelCell Energy`s DFC300A power plant, is designed to take place in extremely rapid fashion. Once engineered and evaluated, it is anticipated that the fuel switch will take less than a minute.

"The military is always looking for multiple options, whether on the battlefield or in connection with critical stationary facilities here at home," said Franklin H. Holcomb, CERL`s fuel cell team project leader. "The ability to switch fuels on the fly, from the standpoint of security, is highly desirable."

DFC units currently are capable of running on any hydrocarbon fuel that has been desulfurized, including natural gas, diesel, jet fuel, coal gas, digester gas, coal mine methane, gasified biomass, coke oven gas, etc. In every case, DFC units maintain their ability to run on an ultra-clean basis, producing virtually no nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide emissions.

"The dual fuel capability of our DFC power plants demonstrates that our products can be an important part of the enhancement of our nation`s homeland security efforts," said Dan Brdar, Chief Operating Officer of FuelCell Energy. "If events disrupt the natural gas pipeline or the electricity grid, our fuel cells can immediately switch to on-site propane and provide the necessary power for essential government and other mission-critical facilities."

To enable the fuel cell power plant to run on propane fuel requires engineering changes to accommodate the higher steam-to-carbon ratio required for HD-5 propane, installing flow measurement and control instruments for managing propane rather than natural gas, sizing the humihex fuel humidifier for propane`s higher steam/carbon ratio, modifying the control system software, and installing additional control valves for switching fuels.

Initial development will take place at FuelCell Energy`s R&D facilities in Connecticut, and the testing and evaluation phases will move to the existing DFC 300A power plant at CTC`s Fuel Cell Test & Evaluation Center (FCTec) in Pennsylvania, which is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) test center.

The project is supported by funding through the DoD, the U.S. Army, as well as ERDC--CERL

Hi,
habe FuelCell seit dem ersten Hype aus 2001 und bin mit vielen Nachkäufen zu einem großen Paket mit leider immer noch hohem Durchschnittseinstand von ca. 18 EUR gekommen. Freue mich natürlich über die jetzige Fahrt nach Norden, warte allerdings nur darauf, verkaufen zu können.
Hoffentlich gibt es bald noch mehr Dumme, die FuelCell kaufen. Sorry, ist aber meine ehrliche Meinung (habe zu lange mit diesem Wert gelitten)

FUELCELL - Pullback erreicht Zielzone

(©GodmodeTrader - http://www.godmode-trader.de/)


FuelCell Energy (FCEL) : 10,66 $ (-0,84%)

Aktueller Tageschart (log) seit Oktober 2004 (1 Kerze = 1 Tag)

Kurz-Kommentierung: Die FUELCELL Aktie nähert sich im Rahmen des Pullbacks dem Unterstützungsbereich bei 10,43 - 10,74 $. Hier könnte die Aufwärtsbewegung prinzipiell wieder aufgenommen werden. Eine Übertreibung nach unten ist gut möglich, der gebrochene Abwärtstrend seit November 2004 und der EMA50 verlaufen bei 10,26 $. Dennoch wäre ein Wochenschlusskurs oberhalb von 10,43 $ hilfreich für die Bullen. Ein erstes positives Signal ergibt sich beim Übersteigen des letzten Zwischenhochs und der EMA200 auf Wochenbasis bei 11,71 - 11,74 $.

Wiederholung: Gelingt schließlich das Überwinden der EMA200 bei 11,72 $, sollte der Bruch des zentralen Kreuzwiderstandes bei 13,45 - 13,73 $, wo neben einem Horizontalwiderstand auch der Abwärtstrend seit Oktober 2002 und das 50% Fibonacci Retracement der Abwärtsbewegung seit dem Hoch des Jahres 2004 verlaufen, nur eine Frage der Zeit sein. Das dadurch entstehende mittelfristige Kaufsignal sollte den Kurs anschließend zügig bis 17,80 und 20,30 $ treiben.

Rürup-Rente: mit 88,- EUR monatl. bis zu 1537,- EUR lebenslange Rente sichern! Jetzt informieren!


FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of efficient, ultra-clean power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, announced today that its European partner MTU CFC Solutions GmbH, a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler (NYSECX), and RWE Fuel Cells have commissioned a power plant incorporating FuelCell Energy`s technology to run a municipal wastewater treatment facility in northeastern Germany.

Plans for the 250-kilowatt facility, first disclosed last year, called for installation of MTU`s HotModule(R) power plant. This system combines FCE`s efficient and low-emission Direct Fuel Cell(R) (DFC(R)) stacks with MTU`s balance of plant design that it manufactures for the European market. Situated at the Municipal Wastewater Treatment Works in Ahlen, Germany, it is the first fuel cell in Europe to operate on anaerobic digester gas.

Using sewage gas produced by the Ahlen facility itself as fuel, the power plant generates electricity to run the wastewater treatment process; any excess power is fed to the grid. The power plant also generates 180 kilowatts of heat byproduct. Ahlen harnesses this energy to operate its digestion tower (where sewage sludge is turned into the gas fuel source), while any remaining thermal energy is used to heat its office and plant buildings there.

The newly operational wastewater treatment plant, one of 10 worldwide in which FuelCell Energy products are involved replaced a combustion engine-driven cogeneration unit.

Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities with anaerobic gas digesters represent an important application of FuelCell Energy`s DFC power plants. Methane generated by anaerobic gas digestion is a renewable fuel eligible for government incentive funding for installations around the world. Because fuel in a DFC unit is not burned, it dramatically reduces harmful emissions of gas and particulates while generating firm (24/7) power on site where it is needed.

FuelCell Energy`s High-Efficiency Power Plant Sold to Japanese Ceramics Manufacturer to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Lower Energy Costs

Marubeni`s Sale of Ultra-Clean DFC300A Power Plant to Be Integrated with Ceramics Kiln to Significantly Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Provide Energy Cost Savings

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2005-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean and efficient electric power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced the sale of a 250-kilowatt (kW) Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plant by its Asian distributor, Marubeni Corporation, to NGK Insulators, Ltd., a ceramics manufacturing company in Nagoya, Japan.

Best known in the U.S. as a producer of electrical insulators, NGK also holds substantial market share in automotive and industrial ceramics (such as spark plugs), ceramics components for electric and electronic equipment, power transmission and distribution products, and plant engineering services.

The DFC power plant is part of NGK`s goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions at its three ceramics manufacturing facilities by 24 percent over the next five years. Medium-term targets are 0 percent increase from 2003 to 2006 and long-term targets are 7 percent less than 1990 by 2010. Total carbon dioxide emissions in 2003 were 166,000 tons, 17 percent higher than 1990. NGK expects that use of FuelCell Energy`s high efficiency DFC power plant in a combined heat and power application at its Nagoya ceramics kiln will significantly contribute to exceeding their corporate carbon dioxide emissions reduction goal.

"Integrating a highly efficient DFC power plant into our ceramics kiln operations is expected to help us to meet our carbon dioxide emissions reduction objectives while saving energy costs," said Yoshihiko Kurashima, Director of Corporate Manufacturing Engineering. "In addition, we see opportunities to improve the overall thermal efficiency of our ceramics manufacturing processes by integrating DFC power plants, the most efficient source of firm, 24/7 onsite power in its size range, into our kiln operations."

Japan has emerged as one of the most efficient users of energy -- in turn, making the country less subject to economic shocks from energy price fluctuations. The U.S. Department of Energy`s Energy Information Administration ranks Japan as the world`s fourth largest energy consumer overall and its second largest energy importer. At the same time, Japan leads many countries managing the amount of energy consumed to bring products to market. The Wall Street Journal (in its Oct. 7, 2005, editions) cited 2003 figures that production of a ton of steel required only 100 units of energy by leading Japanese firms -- in contrast to the 120 units used by U.S. steel companies and 150 units averaged by Chinese steel-makers.

"The high efficiency of our DFC power plants serves as a major driver for us in Japan," said R. Daniel Brdar, president and COO of FuelCell Energy. "High efficiency translates into more energy output using less fuel, thereby providing customers with energy cost savings while meeting their air quality improvement mandates."

The power plant will run on natural gas supplied by Toho Gas Co., Ltd, and will operate in parallel to the grid. It is scheduled to be up and running in early calendar year 2006. Financial details of the sale were not disclosed.

FuelCell Energy`s High Efficiency DFC 300MA Power Plant Certified to California`s Strict 2007 Air Emissions Standards

Modular Power Plant, Designated as `Ultra-Clean,` Qualifies for Preferential California Rate Treatment; Lower Manufacturing Cost Makes Systems Accessible to Larger Market
DANBURY, Conn., Dec 20, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of efficient, ultra-clean power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced that its modular 250-kilowatt (kW) Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plant has met the California Air Resources Board`s (CARB) stringent distributed generation emissions standards for 2007, qualifying the DFC 300MA power plant for state-sponsored economic incentives.

The DFC300MA joins FuelCell Energy`s other DFC products that previously attained this certification. By meeting this standard, the Company`s DFC300MA power plant is categorized as an `ultra-clean` distributed generation technology, exempting it from air quality district permitting requirements (http://www.arb.ca.gov). In addition, the certification qualifies the Company`s products for preferential rate treatment by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) including the elimination of "exit fees" and "standby charges" for customer electric generation.

"This certification ensures our customers in California continue to have access to certain incentive funding for purchasing our DFC power plants, which we believe will further drive repeatable business in our second largest geographic market," said R. Daniel Brdar, FuelCell Energy`s President and COO. "These incentives and preferential rate treatment, combined with our cost-reduction efforts, allow us to provide end-users with reliable firm base load power with more control of their energy costs."

The California Self Generation Program (SGIP) provides $400 million per year of incentive funding for renewable and ultra-clean technologies on the basis of $2500/kW for DFC products operating on natural gas and $4500/kW for our DFC products operating on renewable fuels such as anaerobic gas from wastewater treatment facilities.

Introduced in June 2005 with a production cost of approximately $6,000/kW, the DFC 300MA power plant production cost has been further reduced to $4,600/kW.

DFC power plants address two significant energy issues in California -- high energy costs and strict air quality standards. The high efficiency of DFC power plants not only results in less fuel needed per kilowatt hour of electricity and lower operating costs, but reduced amounts of carbon dioxide. In addition, DFC power plants provide greater energy reliability and energy security because they are located directly at customer sites.

The Company`s 250-kW DFC300A power plant was certified under CARB 2007 standards in May 2003 and its megawatt class DFC1500 power plant was certified under these standards in September 2004.

US-Ölpreis hält sich über 61 Dollar - Gasstreit verunsichert Ölmarkt



NEW YORK/LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Der US-Ölpreis hat sich am Dienstag gestützt durch den Gasstreit zwischen Russland und der Ukraine über der Marke von 61 Dollar gehalten. Der Preis für ein Barrel der US-Sorte WTI stieg in New York bis 14.30 Uhr um 41 Cent auf 61,45 Dollar. Ein Barrel der Nordseesorte Brent kletterte in London um 0,57 Cent auf 59,55 Dollar.

Es herrsche die Furcht vor, dass Russland das Erdgas als politisches Instrument nutze, sagten Händler. Russland hatte am Montag die Erdgaslieferungen in die Ukraine eingestellt. Die inzwischen wieder eingetretene Normalisierung der russischen Erdgaslieferungen nach Westeuropa habe den Ölpreis nicht gedrückt. Der Konflikt illustriere die Schwäche des weltweiten Energiesystems, sagte Edward Meir, Analyst bei Man Financial. Ein Großteil des Energieangebots komme aus Ländern mit einem unsicheren politischen System. Dies mache die Energiepolitik unvorhersehbar.

Der ehemalige Energieberater des US-Präsidenten George W. Bush, Matthew Simmons, erwartet unterdessen für die kommenden Jahre einen dramatischen Anstieg des Ölpreises. `Wir müssen in den kommenden Jahren mit einem Ölpreis von 200 bis 250 Dollar je Fass rechnen`, sagte Simmons dem Wirtschaftsmagazin `Capital` (Januarausgabe). Öl werde knapp, und es würden immer weniger neue Felder geortet. `2005 wurden so wenige neue Quellen entdeckt wie seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg nicht mehr.` Neue Fördertechniken und neue Vorkommen könnten den globalen Rohstoffmarkt kaum mehr entlasten./FX/js/rw/sk

FuelCell Energy Announces Sale of Its First 1 Megawatt Power Plant in Japan at Sharp Electronics Manufacturing Facility
DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2006--

FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean electric power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced that its Asian distributor, Marubeni Corporation (TSE:8002), has sold a one megawatt (MW) Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plant to provide electric power and high-quality heat for a Sharp Corp. production facility in Japan that manufactures advanced flat-screen TVs.

The DFC power plant will provide Sharp`s Kameyama manufacturing facility with a portion of its base load electricity needs and supply heat byproduct for air conditioning by means of absorption chilling. The Kameyama factory, situated in the Mie prefecture, occupies 3.5 million square feet (330,000 square meters) and hosts end-to-end production of LCD TVs -- construction of the LCD panels through final product assembly. Sharp estimates its share of the market for LCD panels is over 30 percent worldwide.

"This is our first international megawatt-class installation, showing growing acceptance in Japan of our larger ultra-clean DFC power plants," said R. Daniel Brdar, President and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "The manufacturing sector, one of the 10 vertical markets we continue to target, demands the efficient and firm, 24/7 reliable power generation that our DFC units deliver."

The 1 MW DFC power plant will be part of a green onsite generation power system in which the fuel cells will provide base load power, and a photovoltaic array will provide peaking power. The combined heat and power (CHP) application of the DFC power plant is expected to reduce the Kameyama factory`s CO2 emissions by 2,300 tons. Because the plant integrates LCD manufacturing with assembly, Sharp eliminated the need to transport LCD panels between locations, reducing the need for interim packaging material and further lowering CO2 and NO2 emitted by transport vehicles.

"With eight installations in Japan since 2003, and with ratification of the Kyoto Protocol earlier this year, Marubeni has seen a greater commitment from Japanese industrial companies for fuel cell applications to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said Mamoru Sekiyama, Corporate Senior Vice President and COO, Plant, Power & Infrastructure Projects Division of Marubeni. "FuelCell Energy`s DFC products have the lowest carbon dioxide emissions of any fossil-fuel power generation technology in their size range, which makes them consistent with Sharp`s goals of pursuing environmental sustainability in every part of its business."

The Kameyama plant is Sharp`s first "Super Green Factory" -- so designated for establishing technologies and policies to achieve maximum environmental protection. For example, Sharp recycles 100 percent of its manufacturing process wastewater and introduced a Liquefied Natural Gas cogeneration system -- moves that earned the company the 2004 Japan Sustainable Management Award.

As fuel prices have increased around the globe, the high efficiency of DFC power plants in CHP applications versus other onsite power generating technologies of similar size gives operators an important advantage in effectively managing their fuel costs. The high electrical and thermal efficiencies of DFC units translate into lower fuel use per kilowatt hour of electricity and BTU of heat generated.

Because Japan historically has had few domestic power sources like oil or natural gas, its industries have focused on ways to save energy in their manufacturing operations. For example, the Wall Street Journal (in its Oct. 7, 2005, editions) noted that Japanese companies rely on highly efficient power-generation systems to minimize the fuel they use to manage their energy costs.

Installation of the DFC power plant is expected to be complete by second calendar quarter of 2006. The unit will operate on liquefied natural gas -- supplied via a newly installed 17-kilometer pipeline from Toho Gas. The pipeline eliminates the need for LNG tanker truck transportation of fuel, reducing emissions associated with the delivery vehicles.

C-Energy, a subsidiary company of Chubu Electric, will own the equipment and sell the power and heat output to Sharp. Japan`s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is providing a subsidy.

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2006-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of efficient, ultra-clean electric power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced that it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a five-year, $2.1 million cost-shared project to develop a high temperature membrane for low humidity operation of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells, subject to final negotiation of an agreement. FuelCell Energy was awarded one of 12 competitively bid projects that will receive a total of $19 million in federal funding for polymer membrane research. The overall goal of this research is to advance membrane durability and extend shelf-life, while simultaneously bringing down its cost.

The project includes the development of a composite membrane for high temperature (120(degrees)C) PEM fuel cell operation. The composite membrane is intended to have the mechanical strength and water retention capability required for efficient operation and reduced system cost. Traditional PEM fuel cells operate at approximately 60(degrees)C to 80(degrees)C and operation at higher temperatures would reduce cost and increase efficiency. FuelCell Energy`s high temperature experience from its carbonate and solid oxide fuel cell programs and the development of highly functionalized fuel cell membranes for phosphoric-acid and PEM fuel cells over the past 20 years make it uniquely qualified for this project.

The project award is part of a broader program announced on Jan. 24, 2006, by Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman totaling $119 million in funding and including a roadmap aimed at identifying and overcoming the technical and manufacturing challenges associated with the further development of commercially available hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The DOE will provide $100 million over four years for additional research projects seeking to improve fuel cell membranes, water transport within the stack, advanced cathode catalysts and supports, cell hardware, innovative fuel cell concepts, and effects of impurities on fuel cell performance and durability.

"Investment in fuel cell and hydrogen research today will enable America to lead the world in developing clean, hydrogen powered automobiles that will reduce our dependence on imported oil," said Secretary Bodman. "This funding will help overcome the technical barriers and bring hydrogen and fuel cell technology from the laboratory to the showroom."

"This project award by the DOE recognizes our expertise in all fuel cell research and development," said R. Daniel Brdar, President and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "It shows that we are a part of this nation`s drive for high efficiency and environmentally responsible power generation to help attain the country`s goal of reducing harmful emissions and increasing energy independence."

Last week`s announcement is part of the $1.2 billion Hydrogen Fuel Initiative announced by President Bush in his 2003 State of the Union Address. This initiative has the potential to reverse America`s growing dependence on foreign oil by developing the technology for commercially viable hydrogen-powered fuel cells - a way to power cars, trucks, homes and businesses that produce no pollution and no greenhouse gases.

FuelCell Energy Widerstand erreichbar

Die Experten von "FOCUS-MONEY" halten bei der FuelCell Energy-Aktie (ISIN US35952H1068/ WKN 884382) den Widerstand bei 14 Euro für erreichbar.

Der Aktie sei es Mitte 2005 gelungen aus dem Abwärtstrend auszubrechen. Allerdings habe er dies zum Unmut der Investoren nur durch eine Seitwärtsbewegung geschafft. Inzwischen zwänge sich der Kurs in die Spitze eines Dreiecks. Der Ausbruch sollte, da die untere Begrenzung ein bis in das Frühjahr 2003 hinein reichender flacher Aufwärtstrend und damit ein guter Support sei, nach oben erfolgen.

Je länger es dauere, bis der Sprung nach oben stattfinde, umso flacher sollte die anschließende Aufwärtsbewegung ausfallen.

Gelingt der Ausbruch in den nächsten vier Wochen, so die Experten von "FOCUS-MONEY", könnte die FuelCell Energy-Aktie bis Mitte des Jahres durchaus den Widerstand bei 14 Euro erreichen.

Treasury Secretary John Snow Visits FuelCell Energy, Calls for Expanded Investment in Alternative Power Sources to Address National Energy Issues

Cabinet Officer Joins U.S. Rep. Nancy Johnson, and State and Local Officials, in Discussion of Energy Security, Reliability and Efficiency

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2006-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean, efficient electric power plants for commercial and industrial customers, today hosted an energy innovation roundtable chaired by U.S. Treasury Secretary John W. Snow, who called for increased public and private investment in alternative energy sources as an important facet in developing the nation`s energy independence.

"The potential for fuel cells to power businesses, homes and vehicles with no pollution or greenhouse gases is tremendous," Snow said, "and it is important to the U.S. from environmental, economic and national security perspectives."

Snow said that by encouraging increased research and development, the country can accelerate the integration of alternative fuels and advanced power technologies in our energy mix, a move that is already underway.

He noted that fuel cells, and other alternative forms of energy like wind and solar, should be considered in rebuilding the Gulf Coast power infrastructure, damaged during Hurricane Katrina. "We have a tremendous opportunity to do it right, and avoid a replay of the old technology," he said.

"The work being done here at FuelCell Energy is a wonderful example of how American innovation and technology will lead us to a new day of reduced reliance on foreign sources of energy," Snow added.

During his visit Wednesday, Snow toured FuelCell Energy`s Test and Conditioning facility where he saw the company`s high-efficiency megawatt and sub-megawatt fuel cell power plants in operation prior to being shipped to customers.

"We have a history of strong relationships with federal agencies like the EPA, the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy to develop clean, reliable and environmentally sound products," said R. Daniel Brdar, president and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "Building on the call for energy independence in the State of the Union Address, Secretary Snow`s visit affirms our commitment to continued partnerships with the government. Our goal is to accelerate the commercialization of fuel cells as one of the efficient, home-grown sources of electric power that our nation needs to achieve energy independence."

Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-Conn.) called for an extension of the Investment Tax Credit that provides financial support for the installation of new fuel cell power plants.

"The ITC was created in the federal Energy Bill of 2005 and is set to expire after two years," she said. "I would like the Administration to work with Congress to extend the financial benefit as a way of further stimulating growth of this industry while protecting our environment."

In addition to Johnson, Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton and Connecticut State Sen. David Cappiello participated in the discussion. Attending the roundtable on behalf of end-users, industry, utilities and academia were representatives of CIT Group Inc.; the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund; Electro Energy Inc.; Northeast Utilities; Pepperidge Farm Inc.; PPL Corp.; Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc.; Western Connecticut State University and Yale University.

FuelCell Energy Achieves Record in Electrical Efficiency for Ultra-Clean Sub-Megawatt Direct FuelCell/Turbine Power Plant
Initial Testing Confirms FuelCell Energy`s Combined Cycle Power Plant Converts 56 Percent of Fuel to Electricity

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 2006-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean and efficient electric power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced that its patented Direct FuelCell/Turbine(R) (DFC/T(R)) achieved a record-setting performance -- establishing a mark of 56 percent electrical efficiency in the sub-megawatt (sub-MW) class for 800 continuous hours during initial testing.

This significantly exceeds the electrical efficiency of other distributed generation technologies of similar size. For example, gas engines have an electrical efficiency of 30 to 42 percent, low temperature fuel cells have an electrical efficiency of 30 to 35 percent and microturbines have an electrical efficiency of 25 to 30 percent.

Victor Der, Director of Clean Energy Systems in the U.S. Department of Energy`s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy, and Wayne Surdoval, Technology Manager in DOE`s National Energy Technology Laboratory, visited FuelCell Energy`s Danbury, Conn. headquarters to dedicate the DFC/T power plant.

"The DFC/T represents a significant advance for ultra-clean, high efficiency fuel cell/turbine technology," said Surdoval.

"The DFC/T power plant`s 56 percent electrical efficiency is unmatched anywhere in the industry for distributed generation products in its size range and has the potential for customers to substantially reduce their energy costs," said R. Daniel Brdar, President and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "This sub-MW combined cycle system will be an ideal ultra-clean, reliable base load product for smaller commercial and industrial customers with a demand for electric power only and will complement our DFC power plants that are designed for combined heat and power applications."

FuelCell Energy has been developing the DFC/T product following an initial Vision 21 Program contract award from DOE in 2000. The DFC/T system is based on FuelCell Energy`s 250 kilowatt (kW) Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plant and an integrated 60 kW microturbine from Capstone Turbine Corporation. Heat generated by the fuel cell is used to drive a modified unfired microturbine to generate additional electricity. The supplemental microturbine power increases the electrical efficiency and reduces the cost of power generated without using additional fuel. The combined-cycle DFC/T system has the same ultra-clean emissions profile of FuelCell Energy`s Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plants.

In 2002, the original contract was expanded to include this alpha unit for operation at the FuelCell Energy`s testing facilities in Danbury and, subsequently, at a customer site - the Deaconess Billings Clinic in Montana - where it will provide ultra-clean, reliable and firm, base load electricity for this hospital. The program includes a beta unit, also for operation at a customer site, which is expected to be built in 2007. Total contract value from program inception through the beta unit is approximately $19.3 million that is cost-shared between 20 and 50 percent, depending on the task, with the DOE.

"Our microturbines are a perfect complement to the ultra-clean operation of FuelCell Energy`s DFC products," said John Tucker, CEO of Capstone Turbine, who was in Danbury for the dedication event. "It`s exciting when FuelCell Energy`s power generation products are combined with our systems to attain unprecedented levels of efficiency."

FuelCell Energy expects target customers to be commercial and industrial customers with a need for electric power only, such as industrial companies or small grid-support applications.

FuelCell Energy has also developed designs for a 10-40 megawatt (MW) DFC/T power plant that is expected to achieve 70 percent or greater electrical efficiency. This approaches the objective of the DOE`s Vision 21 Program of developing larger, multi-MW power plants that will generate electricity with net efficiencies approaching 75 percent on natural gas with near-zero emissions. In comparison, a state-of-the-art combined cycle gas turbine plant can reach 55 to 60 percent electrical efficiency, but is typically 200 MW or greater in size. FuelCell Energy expects this multi-MW DFC/T power plant, upon successful product development, would be suitable for larger-scale power generation opportunities, particularly in grid constrained locations, in regions where Renewable Portfolio Standards programs are being implemented and other areas that may require flexible, ultra-clean and high efficient power.

http://finance.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?.mm=FN&action=m&board=…

es gibt mit Sicherheit Werte in denen mehr Fantasie steckt, Brennstoffzellen werden erst in frühestens 10 Jahren Gewinne bringen und dieser Wert ist dafür dass keine Gewinne in Aussicht sind sehr ambitioniert bewertet.Die verkaufen keine mobilen Brennstoffzellen fürs KFZ sondern stationäre, und davon zum großen Teil nur ein paar Megawatt/Jahr zu Testzwecken. Im letzten Jahr gab es darüber hinaus auch noch Berichte über Probleme mit ausgelieferten Blöcken und Kommentare dass Konkurrenzfirmen zuverlässigere Produkte besitzen. Die Gewinnschwelle sollte schon öfter erreicht sein und es kommen immer wieder die selben Zahlen.
Ich wüßte nicht womit sie da in nächster Zeit Geld verdienen wollen. Sorry, aber investiert lieber woanders...die Abwärtsdynamik kann bei schlechten News sehr stark sein. Naja kann sich jeder selbst ein Bild machen, auf dem o.g. link sind einige interessante Sachen zu lesen.

FuelCell Energy Selected by U.S. Department of Energy to Develop a Coal-Based Multi-Megawatt Solid Oxide Fuel Cell System DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2006--

Company to develop large-scale solid oxide fuel cell/turbine (SOFC/T)power plant with near-zero emissions that efficiently converts coal to electricity for central power generation

FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean and efficient electric power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as a prime contractor of a third project team to develop a coal-based multi-megawatt solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system. The total project award for the 10-year, three-phase Fuel Cell Coal-Based System program is approximately $85 million. The project is subject to negotiation of a final agreement.

The program`s goal is to develop a multi-megawatt SOFC power system, 100 megawatts and larger, with at least 50 percent overall efficiency in converting energy contained in coal to grid electrical power. This compares to today`s average U.S. coal-based power plant with an electrical efficiency of approximately 35 percent. Other program goals include capturing 90 percent or more of system`s carbon dioxide emissions and meeting a cost of $400 per kilowatt (exclusive of coal gasification unit and carbon dioxide separation subsystems).

"Coal technology development is a keystone of the President`s new Advanced Energy Initiative," said Wayne Surdoval, DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory`s Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) Technology Manager. "The clean and efficient use of coal is vital to our nation`s energy security. Research conducted under DOE`s Fuel Cell Coal-Based Systems Program should ultimately lead to fuel cell power plants that use this abundant and cost-effective resource with near-zero emissions."

The DOE selected FuelCell Energy to be prime contractor for this program based on the company`s high temperature fuel cell expertise, which includes: progress on its SOFC development in Phase I of the SECA Program, development and commercialization of sub-megawatt and multi-megawatt carbonate Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plants, previous experience with operating DFC power plants on coal gases, and successful results of its Direct FuelCell/Turbine(R) (DFC/T(R)) combined-cycle product in the DOE`s Vision 21 Program. FuelCell Energy recently announced an electrical efficiency milestone of 56 percent for the DFC/T power plant, a record for a combined cycle sub-megawatt fuel cell power plant.

FuelCell Energy will be responsible for the overall systems development of its coal-based multi-megawatt SOFC/T power plant. Other team members include: Versa Power Systems, Inc. (Versa), providing state-of-the-art SOFC stack technology development; Gas Technology Institute (GTI), providing fuel cell pressurization tests; and Nexant, providing coal gasification expertise.

"This award by the DOE recognizes the strength and leadership of our high temperature megawatt-class fuel cell products," said R. Daniel Brdar, President and CEO of FuelCell Energy, Inc. "The experience we have gained with over 40 DFC power plants at customer sites, including the development of multi-megawatt systems, as well as the record-setting electrical efficiency of our DFC/T alpha unit, will be great assets for us in the SOFC/T product development."

The objective of Phase I, a 3-year, $10.5 million program, is to focus on the design, cost analysis, fabrication and testing of large-scale SOFC stacks amenable for incorporation into 100-megawatt systems. Phases II and III will focus on fabricating and aggregating larger SOFC systems, as well as proof-of-concept systems to be field tested for a minimum of 25,000 hours.

"Being part of this new DOE program will enable us to begin scale-up of our 5 to 10 kilowatt SOFC stack that has demonstrated successful performance under the SECA program," said Robert Stokes, President and CEO of Versa of Littleton, Colo. "We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with FuelCell Energy to develop the fuel cell technology required for large central power stations to produce affordable, efficient and environmentally-friendly electricity from coal."

Coal is a cost-effective energy source and, with approximately 250 years of reserves, is America`s most abundant fossil fuel. Improving the ability to use this domestic energy supply reduces America`s dependence on foreign markets and increases energy security.

Fuel cell systems are ideally positioned to capitalize upon the nation`s coal resource. Fuel cells do not rely upon combustion, enabling them to produce affordable, highly efficient and environmentally friendly electricity from coal. As a result, fuel cells are one of the most attractive power generating technologies for the future.

Advances made under the Fuel Cell Coal-Based Systems program are expected to become key enabling technologies for FutureGen, a planned DOE demonstration of advanced power systems that emit near-zero emissions, have double today`s electric generating efficiency, co-produce hydrogen, and sequester carbon dioxide.

FuelCell Energy joins two other project teams -- one led by General Electric Hybrid Power Generation Systems and the other by Siemens Power Generation, Inc. -- to leverage knowledge gained in the DOE`s Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) Program, and extend coal-based SOFC technology to large central power generation stations.

This latest SOFC technology development program continues FuelCell Energy`s ongoing fuel cell development work with the DOE that dates back to 1976. FuelCell Energy completed an 11- year development program in 2004 for its DFC power plants that it is commercializing today, and has been a prime contractor in the SECA program since 2003. All phases of the coal-based SOFC program will be cost-shared between the DOE and the FuelCell Energy in amounts to be determined.

Foolish Forecast: FuelCell
Monday March 6, 10:24 am ET
By Rich Smith


It`s hard to write about early stage, rule-breaking technologies, without coming off as something of a wet blanket. Until they reach critical mass, these companies tend to do little more than make pie-in-the-sky promises, burn cash, and replace it with more cash to burn by issuing new dilutive shares.
Does that mean these companies are doomed? Not necessarily. But for some companies, the numbers don`t offer much hope to the contrary. Take, for example, FuelCell Energy (Nasdaq: FCEL - News), which reports its fiscal Q1 2006 results tomorrow.

Wall Street Wisdom:


General consensus. Half a dozen analysts follow FuelCell. Only one of them counsels selling the stock. One more says hold it. The other four all say buy.
Revenues. Three months ago, FuelCell predicted increased sales in fiscal 2006. The analysts agree, calling for a 9% year-over-year increase to $8.2 million in fiscal Q1.
Earnings. Well, clearly, there won`t be any. But the analysts expect FuelCell`s losses to contract a bit from the year-ago quarter`s $0.40 loss, to a $0.37 loss this quarter.
Margin watch:
FuelCell`s margins aren`t easy on the eyes. There`s not a positive margin to be found anywhere in the past 18 months` results. On the plus side, gross, operating, and net margins are all a bit less negative now than they were 18 months ago. FuelCell`s business may not be improving quickly, but at least it`s moving in the right general direction.


Margins % 10/04 1/05 4/05 7/05 10/05
Gross (114.3) (114.9) (110.6) (106.7) (111.6)
Op. (246.7) (243.9) (240.5) (234.4) (235.2)
Net (275.4) (242.8) (238.4) (227.1) (224.5)


All data courtesy of Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor`s. Data reflects trailing-12-month performance for the quarters ending in the named months.

Foolish lookout:
The question individual investors should ask is: "How much will my shares be worth when the company finally turns a profit?" And I don`t mean: "What will a share cost?" but rather, "What will a share get me? What will my ownership stake be?"

FuelCell has already diluted its shareholders by roughly 70% over the past five years, as its diluted share count rose from 28 million at the end of fiscal 2000 to 48 million at the end of fiscal 2005. There`s no reason to expect further dilution in the immediate future, as the company has cash (and equivalents) on hand to fund its losses for about two more years. But as we move further down the road, it`s important to keep in mind that dilution will come again, unless losses begin to contract much faster than they`re expected to do tomorrow. Just a word to the Foolish.

Diagnose: Die FuelCell Energy Aktie markierte im Oktober 2000 bei 54,38 $ das AllTimeHigh und startete eine Abwärtsbewegung bis 4,54 $ im Oktober 2002. Es folgte eine steile Gegenbewegung bis an den primären Abwärtstrend. Nach einem Zwischenhoch bei 20,30 $ im April 2004 rutschte die Aktie wieder deutlich ab. Seit einem Zwischentief bei 7,16 $ im August 2004 pendelt die Aktie nun volatil seitwärts, wobei der EMA200 die obere Begrenzung der Seitwärtsbewegung darstellt. Aktuell nähert sich die Aktie dem Widerstandsbereich aus EMA200 und Abwärtstrend seit Oktober 2000 bei 11,19 - 11,91 $.

Prognose: Steigt die Aktie auf Wochenschlussbasis über 11,91 $ an, wird ein mittelfristiges Kaufsignal mit ersten Zielen bei 17,80 und 20,30 $ generiert. Darüber wäre das AllTimeHigh bei 54,38 $ das langfristige Kursziel. Vor einem Ausbruch nach oben ist eine Zwischenkorrektur möglich, welche jetzt möglichst nicht mehr signifikant unter 9,29 $ gehen sollte. Ein Verkaufsignal wird aber erst bei einem Rückfall unter den Aufwärtstrend seit Oktober 2002 bei aktuell 8,40 $ generiert. Abgaben bis 7,16 und darunter 4,54 $ würden dann wahrscheinlich.

Tokyo Gas Evaluating FuelCell Energy's DFC(R) Products for Introduction to Customers of Its Energy and Industrial Gas Business Units

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 28, 2006--FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of efficient, ultra-clean power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced that Tokyo Gas has initiated a program to evaluate a Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plant for introducing these units to customers of its energy and industrial gas divisions.

The unit is currently located at Kawasaki Heavy Industries' factory in Akashi, Japan, where Tokyo Gas will evaluate the power plant under a variety of expected operating conditions focusing particularly on grid interconnection performance. Tokyo Gas has agreed to install this DFC300A power plant at its new R&D center in Tsurumi in the second quarter of 2006.

Tokyo Gas is one of Japan's largest installers of natural gas-fueled distributed generation systems for high efficiency, combined heat and power applications. According to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, installation of natural gas cogeneration systems has grown to 1196 MW from 765 MW during the past five years, an increase of 44 percent. This trend is expected to continue in the years ahead (see http://www.tokyo-gas.co.jp/csr/report_e/index.html, page 22). Tokyo Gas is considering adding DFC products to its energy generation portfolio, pending the outcome of its evaluation, to address additions to the current 2.2 GW of gas-fired cogeneration at 2000 locations throughout the country.

"Tokyo Gas is the largest gas supplier in Japan," said R. Daniel Brdar, president and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "They are actively extending their pipelines to industrial gas users and expanding the country's infrastructure. Our ability to use this strategically important fuel source in high efficiency distributed generation for firm and reliable base load power applications represent a strong potential market for our megawatt-class products."

DFC power plants address two significant energy issues in Japan -- high energy costs and reduced greenhouse gas emissions under rules established by the Kyoto Protocols. The high efficiency of DFC power plants not only results in less fuel needed per kilowatt hour of electricity and lower operating costs, but reduced amounts of carbon dioxide. In addition, DFC power plants provide greater energy reliability because they are located directly at customer sites.

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Oil giants such as Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) aren't the only stocks that could benefit from soaring crude prices. Smaller, less-known companies offering alternative energy products have been drawing increasing attention over the past year as hurricanes and geopolitical issues roiled international energy markets.

Some small-capitalization companies in the "next- generation energy" sector have seen their share prices jump, as investors hoped that their products would attract a larger market share given the volatility of oil prices. Many of these companies offer innovative and feasible technologies in areas such as hydrogen, solar and wind energy.

Still, most small companies in the group aren't profitable as yet. In many cases, the cost of the technology they offer remains high, and that has limited the commercialization of their products. Analysts and market participants have mixed views on this group of stocks, saying that while these companies may carry a great deal potential in the longer term, they also carry many risks.

"Alternative energy stocks are all risky at this stage," said John Quealy, an analyst at Canaccord Adams who covers some of these stocks. Still, he said he believes that small cap investors should be overweight on this sector at present because the industry is beginning to mature as companies develop new products and learn to lower their costs.

President Bush has recently drawn attention to the subject of alternative energy, and that has helped bring these stocks into the spotlight, he said.

Analysts suggest that investors pick those alternative energy companies that have the best order flows, good partnerships and have been successful in tapping existing markets for their products.

"The most attractive alternative energy companies are those that have interim markets to do business, like doing development work for the military, while waiting for larger markets develop," said Brion Tanous, an analyst at Merriman Curhan Ford & Co.

Tanous says one stock he likes in this group is Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide (QTWW), a company involved in the storage of hydrogen and the integration of hydrogen into vehicles. The technology offered by this company is effective, but reducing the cost of the hardware will be the next hurdle to cross, he said.

The military is increasingly spending on and tapping into equipment that uses hydrogen, he said. Quantum and another small company called Hydrogenics Corp. (HYGS) are both beneficiaries of this trend and could see added benefits as military spending increases in this direction.

Small companies working the solar power sector are also interesting because of explosive growth of this technology in California and the rest of the world, Tanous pointed out. He has a buy rating on Evergreen Solar Inc. (ESLR), a maker of the base materials that collect sunlight and convert it into energy. That stock's price has more than tripled since the end of 2004, and it was trading recently at $15.95.

Still, the valuations of some of these stocks raise concerns.

Tanous believes that FuelCell Energy Inc. (FCEL), which makes large-scale fuel cells that would power electricity in buildings, is overvalued relative to the company's stage of penetration into the market. (A fuel cell is a device that consumes hydrogen and converts it into electricity with no pollutants.)

Fund managers have their reservations about these stocks, but they also acknowledge their potential.

Jim Madden, portfolio manager at mutual fund Portfolio 21, which holds some stocks from this group, points out that most pure-play alternative energy companies are losing money. That is why his fund has only small positions in most of these stocks. For instance, holdings in Quantum account for just 0.2% of the total holdings of the fund. Plug Power Inc. (PLUG) accounts for 0.1% of total holdings, Energy Conversion Devices Inc. (ENER) roughly 0.1%, Impco Technologies Inc. (IMCO) about 0.2% and Ballard Power Systems Inc. (BLDP) 0.1%.

At the same time, Madden acknowledges that factors such as a new tax law, new products or a partnership unexpectedly could give some of these companies a big boost. Or some of them could get bought out. That is why the fund holds a basket of alternative energy stocks but has just a small holding in each.

"The supply and demand for the products of those (alternative energy) companies is in flux. It's not a mature industry," said Carsten Henningsen, chairman of Portfolio 21, which broadly focuses on companies that have made a commitment to environmental sustainability. He likens the next-generation energy sector to the computer industry in the 1980s, when several companies were coming up with new products, but it was hard to pick the ones that would succeed.

Meanwhile, Cannacord Adam's Quealy has a suggestion for investors in the small cap sector who would like to reduce the risks involved in putting money in the alternative energy group. He recommends looking at automatic meter reading companies and clean coal companies such as Itron Inc. (ITRI) and Fuel-Tech NV (FTEK). These companies are using products more smartly, and greater acceptance of their products makes them safer bets, he said.

Quealy and Tanous don't own shares of the specific companies they discussed. Merriman Curhan Ford has conducted investment banking services for Evergreen Solar and make a market in the shares of Quantum, Fuel Cell and Hydrogenics. Fuel Tech is a non-investment banking, securities-related client of Cannacord, while Itron is an investment banking client.

Here is the Story! BLDP & FCEL on FastTrack
Long-Term Sentiment: Strong Buy

The Tokyo Gas Ebara-Ballard home cogeneration system has proven to be the number 1 fuel cell system in the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Technology, and Industry (METI) home congeneration trial.

You can read about how "The Tokyo Gas Co./Ebara Corp. team achieved the highest performance of all 10 groups, leaving others far behind." here:

http://www.japanfs.org/db/database.cgi?cmd=dp&num=1257&dp=da…

Additionally Ballard is making tremendous progress in durability with the Mark 1030 stack.

"“The ‘hockey-stick’ curve [in deployment] is really going to be post-2008, because that is the point at which the industry is required to have that 40 000 h lifetime in shape. That’s when true commercialization begins. Today in our laboratory at Ballard we have a stack that has been running for 27 000 h and continues to log hours. Based on our technology experience and all of the data from our field trials, we’re 100% confident that we’re going to be able to hit 40 000 h [stack] lifetime by 2008.”"

You can read about Ballard's confidence in meeting METI durability needs in this Fuel Cell Review article here:

You can read about how the Tokyo Gas Ebara-Ballard system was installed in the Japanese Prime Minister's personal residence in an elaborate ceremony here:

http://www.ballard.com/resources/news_releases/06_Cogen%20Ja…

When it comes to home based "stationary" fuel cell systems, Ballard definitely seems to have a leg up.

By the way they make fuel cells for automobiles, lift trucks and backup power as well, but for those fixated on the stationary market and reforming natural gas...they do quite well there also.

Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung und Blockheizkraftwerke

Wird in einer Anlage sowohl Strom als auch Wärme erzeugt, so spricht man dabei von Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung (KWK). Findet diese Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung nicht in einem Heizkraftwerk, sondern in einer kleinen kompakten Anlage statt, nennt man diese Blockheizkraftwerk (BHKW).

Als Beispiel kann man sich den Motor eines Autos vorstellen: Die chemische Energie, die im Treibstoff gebunden ist, wird durch Verbrennung in thermische und mechanische Energie umgewandelt. Die mechanische Energie - die "Kraft des Motors" - bringt das Auto vorwärts. Die thermische Energie wärmt das Fahrzeuginnere an kühleren Tagen, der Großteil jedoch verschwindet durch den Auspuff. Entnimmt man den Motor nun aus dem Auto und schließt ihn an einen Generator an, kann man mit seiner Kraft Strom erzeugen. Mit Hilfe eines Wäremtauschers kann die thermische Energie aus Abgas und Kühlwasser genutzt werden. Damit läßt sich durch Kombiantion von Wärmetauscher und Generator nahezu die gesamte chemische Energie des Treibstoffs nutzbar machen.
ONSI Blockheizkraftwerk von UTC Fuel Cells

Kombiniert man nun diesen Motor (natürlich auch jede andere Art von Motoren) und die benötigten Wärmetauscher, Wechselrichter usw. in einem Gehäuse erhält man eine Kraft-Wärme-Kopplungsanlage, ein Blockheizkraftwerk. Sinnvoll ist der Einsatz eines BHWK jedoch nur dann, wenn Strom und Wärme gleichzeitig benötigt werden.


ONSI Blockheizkraftwerk von UTC Fuel Cells

Der Vorteil einer solchen Anlage wird beim Stichwort Wirkungsgrad offensichtlich. Eine Studie hat ergeben, dass bei konventionellen Kraftwerken knapp 60% der Energie durch Umwandlungs- und Übertragungsverluste verschwendet werden. Mit einem zentralen Heizkraftwerk, dass auf Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung basiert, verliert sich unterwegs immerhin noch ca. 20% der Energie. Ein Blockheizkraftwerk, die dezentrale Lösung, liefert dagegen 90% der Energie an den Verbraucher aus. Der Energienutzungsgrad läßt sich also durch Nutzung der Abwärme und Dezentralisierung entscheidend erhöhen.

California State University Northridge Buys 1 Megawatt Ultra-Clean FuelCell Energy Power Plant to Help Meet Its Green Energy Mandate

Efficient, quiet, on-site generation to provide cost-effective firm base load power while meeting university's clean energy policy; represents largest university fuel cell installation

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2006-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean and efficient electric power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, and its partner Alliance Power Inc., today announced the sale of a 1 megawatt (MW) fuel cell power plant to California State University, Northridge (CSUN) for a combined heat and power application to help the university meet its goals for greater energy independence, capital growth, cost management and increased use of green power.

The high efficiency Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plant will generate base load electricity for the university's facilities and surplus heat for hot water. Uniquely, the university also plans on routing exhaust from the heat exchanger into an adjacent greenhouse and arboretum to enhance photosynthesis, boosting plant growth and harvests by 10 to 40 percent. The carbon dioxide enrichment potential provided by the fuel cell plant may be used for specialized plant research, or as a convention of study within the regular biology academic program -- an opportunity rarely made available to baccalaureate biology students.

The DFC power plant will be commissioned in the second half of 2006 and operated by CSUN with technical support from FuelCell Energy and Alliance Power.

Students have provided significant support for clean energy technology initiatives, and the California State University (CSU) has established itself as the nation's leading academic institution taking action to stop global warming. After two years of lobbying by students, the CSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously for one of the most comprehensive university policies on clean energy in the U.S. Part of the resolution called for all new buildings beginning in 2006/2007 to meet the CSU Sustainability Measurement System certified level which shall be equivalent to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified, with regard to the microclimates and physical diversity of the CSU campuses. Campuses are encouraged to strive for Silver level performance (http://www.usgbc.org/FileHandling/ show_general_file.asp?DocumentID=913) (Due to its length, this URL may need to be copied/pasted into your Internet browser's address field. Remove the extra space if one exists.) within budget constraints. The policy also encouraged clean and ultra-clean cogenerating energy technologies including fuel cells. CSUN began its drive to install onsite power generation from clean technologies in 2002 with the installation of 692 kilowatts of solar panels that provide a portion of the campus' peaking electricity requirements.

"DFC power plants will provide us with a base load option that reduces the strain on the California grid, improves our energy independence and power reliability, manages our energy and operational costs well into the future, and helps the environment," said Tom Brown, Director of Physical Plant Management, CSUN. "In leading by example, we are demonstrating how clean electricity can cost effectively power our campus."

CSUN's unit will be the single largest fuel cell power plant at any university in the world and is the seventh DFC plant of any capacity installed at a university. Institutions of higher education represent an excellent application of fuel cells' 24/7 electrical generation -- where they can power academic facilities during the day and address critical base load needs at night.

Because the units are quiet and environmentally friendly, they often can be installed close to the classrooms and dorms where energy is needed. Other university sites with DFC power plant installations include Yale University in Connecticut; Ocean County College in New Jersey; Grand Valley State University in Michigan; State University of New York at Syracuse; Chosun University Hospital in Korea; and Pohang University in Korea. The combined heat and power market potential for college and university applications in California exceeds 340 MW according to a 2000 study by Onsite Sycom Energy Corporation prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy.

"Universities have used cogeneration to great effect in the past, and now we're seeing students press their institutions to create and use even more clean energy," said R. Daniel Brdar, President and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "This is a market that's expanding, and it comprises many megawatts for colleges and universities around the country. California's state university system alone is the largest in North America."

California continues to lead the way in supporting fuel cell technology by providing financial and regulatory support. FuelCell Energy's DFC products meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) stringent emissions requirements for 2007. By meeting these standards, DFC power plants are categorized as ultra-clean distributed generation technology which helps streamline the permitting process, and qualifies FuelCell Energy's DFC products for preferential rate treatment by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), such as the elimination of exit fees and stand-by charges for customer electric generation.

Southern California Gas, administrator for the CPUC's Self Generation Program for the Northridge area, issued a reservation letter that will provide incentive funding of up to $2.25 million of eligible project costs and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has committed an additional $500,000 incentive to the CSUN DFC power plant installation.

"We continue to see strong demand for ultra-clean onsite power generation in California, with many customers looking for megawatt-class DFC installations for firm, base load combined heat and power applications," said James Michael, President of Alliance Power. "The high efficiency and ultra-clean DFC power plants address two significant issues in the California market -- high energy costs and strict air quality standards."

The high efficiency of DFC power plants not only results in less fuel needed per unit of power output and lower operating costs, but reduced amounts of carbon dioxide. By generating power without combustion, there are significantly less harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulates.

California State University, Northridge has 33,000 full- and part-time students and offers 63 bachelors and 48 masters degrees as well as 28 education credential programs.

FuelCell Energy and Marubeni Corp. Extend Agreement to Address Expansion of Asian Markets

Marubeni Commits to Order Additional 6 Megawatts of Ultra-Clean Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) Power Plants in Exchange for Extended Exclusivity in the Japanese Market
DANBURY, Conn., May 04, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean, efficient electric power plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced it has extended the distribution agreement with its Asian partner, Marubeni Corp. (TSE: 8002), to sell DFC products in Japan. Terms of the revised agreement include a commitment by Marubeni to order 6 megawatts (MW) of DFC power plants and a cash down payment related to the commitment. In exchange, FuelCell Energy agreed to extend Marubeni's exclusivity to sell DFC products in Japan.

"With the number of DFC power plants in Japan and Korea increasing, commercial and industrial customers in Asia are recognizing that Direct FuelCell power plants can provide firm, reliable power generation while reducing energy costs and greenhouse gases," said Kenji Natori General Manager of Marubeni's New Technology & Renewable Energy Department. "With the highest electrical efficiency of any power generation technology in their size range, DFC power plants provide customers with greater control of their energy usage while reducing harmful emissions."

Today's announcement supports FuelCell Energy's long-standing strategy for addressing the growing market opportunities of selling DFC power plants in Japan. Initially, FuelCell Energy will add several local personnel for sales and servicing, supporting Marubeni's recently increased sales staff of its Fuel Cell Japan subsidiary formed last year. In addition, the two companies will continue their efforts towards the formation of a joint venture for the packaging of DFC power plants in Japan. Moving more of the assembly of DFC power plants to Japan and incorporating balance of plant components from local vendors is expected to reduce product cost to be more competitive.

"Marubeni's commitment clearly demonstrates that the market drivers for our high efficiency and ultra-clean DFC products in the Asian market are strengthening," said R. Daniel Brdar, President and CEO of FuelCell Energy, Inc. "Commercial and industrial companies in Asia are demanding high efficiency and reliable onsite power generation such as our ultra-clean power plants to help them reduce their power costs while complying with the mandates of the Kyoto Protocol."

Japan represents a significant market where FuelCell Energy's DFC products can provide commercial and industrial customers with reliable and cost-effective base load power. Japan's electricity prices are among the highest in the world. As of 2002, emissions of carbon dioxide per unit of Gross Domestic Product in Japan were the lowest among the world's mature market economies, and it is projecting an additional 1.4 percent reduction by 2025. To achieve this, and to support the country's drive towards achieving its Kyoto Protocol commitments, Japan enacted a national Renewable Portfolio Standards program in 2003, targeting 3,500 megawatts of power generation from renewable fuels by 2010. In fiscal year 2005 alone, Japan allocated over $500 million to promote the adoption of high efficiency new energy technologies at customer sites throughout the country. In addition Japan recently established the "Biomass Nippon" program, which allocated $282 million in fiscal year 2005 to fund research and commercial adoption of energy generation by renewable fuels such as digester gas from wastewater treatment plants. Bio gas is expected to be a sustainable growth market for distributed power generation, including DFC products.

DFC products address two significant energy issues in Japan: coping with high energy costs and meeting the country's commitments to reduce emissions of the major greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. Compared to the average U.S. fossil fueled power plant, high efficiency DFC products use less fuel per kilowatt hour of electricity to trim operating costs, while significantly reducing carbon dioxide. In addition, because DFC units generate heat and power electrochemically -- without combustion -- emissions of harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulate matter are significantly diminished.

Marubeni's cash down payment for the 6 MW commitment reserves inventory and placement in FuelCell Energy's recently expanded manufacturing schedule. DFC power plants will be released for production and included in commercial product backlog when sales to specific customers are finalized.

FuelCell Energy Advances Cost-Efficient Method of Separating Hydrogen; Department of Defense Awards $1.36 Million to Develop Carbonate Hydrogen Generating System

High-Efficiency FuelCell Energy System Will Generate Both Electricity and Pure Hydrogen - Ideal for Vehicle Refueling Stations and Industrial Applications Requiring Hydrogen

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 6, 2006-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean electric power generation plants for commercial, industrial, and government customers, today announced development of a cost-efficient system to separate pure hydrogen from a gas mixture that then can be sold as fuel for hydrogen vehicles or industrial uses. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded FuelCell Energy $1.36 Million to advance this Electrochemical Hydrogen Separator (EHS) project for use with the company's Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plants.

Unlike other means of separating hydrogen, which rely on compression, FuelCell Energy's proprietary EHS technology has no moving parts. As a result, it is anticipated to be significantly more reliable and efficient than conventional methods. EHS is expected to save up to one-half of the energy required when compared to conventional compression based-methods of hydrogen separation.

A subscale prototype EHS unit developed by FuelCell Energy is currently operating at the University of Connecticut Global Fuel Cell Center. This test was made possible through a $600,000 grant provided by the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund under its operational demonstration program. The subscale EHS system currently produces 1200 liters per hour of pure hydrogen. With the DoD award, the unit will be scaled up by a factor of 25 and will operate in conjunction with a sub-megawatt DFC power plant in Danbury for testing.

"This contract award combines our expertise in ultra-clean and high efficiency power generation from our DFC products with the strength of our electrochemical separation technology," said Christopher R. Bentley, Executive Vice President, Government Research and Development Operations for FuelCell Energy. "This product has the potential to support the market demand for fuel cell automobiles as well as onsite hydrogen supply for industrial applications."

In 2003, President Bush announced a $1.2 billion Hydrogen Fuel Initiative created to decrease America's dependence on foreign oil by developing the technology needed for commercially viable hydrogen-powered fuel cells to power cars, houses and businesses that produce no pollution and no greenhouse gases. Hydrogen has the highest energy content per unit of weight of any known fuel and when burned in an engine, hydrogen produces effectively zero emissions.

FuelCell Energy's EHS system is the most promising way of meeting the targets set by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to lower the price of hydrogen to be competitive with the cost of gasoline. Currently hydrogen is three to four times as expensive to produce as gasoline according to the DOE's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy statistics. Whether it be used for generating hydrogen for an energy station or for an industrial customer, being able to produce hydrogen onsite through EHS would eliminate the complex issues involved with transporting and storing hydrogen. There is a significant market for industrial customers such as chemical and petrochemical manufacturers, heat treaters, pharmaceutical companies, glass manufacturers and refineries that would recognize the benefit of producing onsite power and hydrogen.

FuelCell Energy Completes Successful Demonstration of 'On-the-Fly' Dual Fuel Operation with Standard Propane

Fuel Cell Power Plant's Ability to Rapidly Switch between Two Fuels Enhances Its Reliability in Power Applications for Homeland Security and Mission-Critical Facilities

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 2006-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean electric power generation plants for commercial, industrial and government customers, today announced the successful demonstration of its stationary power plants' ability to switch rapidly between fuels, validating the systems' capacity to guard against fuel supply interruptions from natural disasters or security issues at mission-critical facilities.

Evaluated in conjunction with Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC), operators of the Department of Defense (DoD) Fuel Cell Test and Evaluation Center (FCTec) in Johnstown, Pa., the power plant continued to generate base load electricity on a secondary fuel supply (propane) when the loss of its primary fuel source (natural gas) was triggered during testing. This rapid fuel switch was successfully demonstrated more than 40 times during operations exceeding 3000 hours.

The R&D project is being sponsored by the federal government to demonstrate the "dual fuel" capability of Direct FuelCell(R) (DFC(R)) power plants. CTC is the primary contractor to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, involving its Engineer Research and Development Center's Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL). FuelCell Energy and CTC operated a sub-megawatt DFC power plant on HD-5 propane fuel at full load achieving an electrical efficiency of 46 percent. The Johnstown plant continues to operate, having accumulated a total of 3060 hours on propane and generated 425 Megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity as of June 28, 2006. The plant also operated 550 hours on natural gas --generating an additional 45 MWh.

"Successful dual fuel testing demonstrates DFC power plants can be a vital part of our nation's homeland security efforts by providing ultra-clean, firm base load power at mission-critical facilities," said Christopher R. Bentley, Executive Vice President of Government Research and Development Operations. "On-the-fly switching among fuel sources enhances the flexibility and value of our DFC products."

Propane, a readily available fuel that can easily be stored onsite, is used as a primary fuel in isolated or sensitive locations such as islands, remote sites, national parks, data centers, military bases, hotels, and hospitals, and, therefore, is an ideal backup fuel for DFC power plants. The DoD can enhance the energy reliability at its facilities around the world by using HD-5 propane in conjunction with FuelCell Energy's DFC power plants.

Rapid fuel switching from natural gas to propane and back again was achieved on more than 40 fuel swaps at various load levels while the plant was generating power. The fuel swap to backup propane occurs instantaneously when the system detects natural gas pressure dropping below a predetermined trigger point. Improved in-line fuel utilization measurement technology was also successfully tested, improving fuel flow control. This is important for propane operation since a rapid change in fuel composition occurs when filling the propane fuel tank. This technology played a key role in achieving the rapid validation of the instantaneous fuel switching.

"With increasing focus on establishing effective homeland security measures, the rapid fuel switching capability of FuelCell Energy's DFC products can provide enhanced on-site power generation options for facilities where reliable 24/7 power is essential," said Franklin H. Holcomb, CERL's Fuel Cell Team Project Leader. "Multiple fuel operation is part of the rapid evolution of fuel cells as a replacement for conventional electric power where high efficiency, increased reliability, reduced harmful emissions and lower noise levels are key requirements for installation."

Testing validated the DFC power plant is capable of continuous long-term high-load high-efficiency operation on propane, as well as instantaneous fuel switching from natural gas to propane in the event of loss of natural gas supply without loss of power. The unit can also switch back to natural gas from propane, instantaneously and on-load, once natural gas service is restored.

The project is supported by funding through DoD, the U.S. Army and ERDC-CERL.

Gills Onions, Leading Supplier to $12 Billion Fresh-Cut Produce Market, Buys Power Plants from FuelCell Energy That Will Generate Renewable Electricity from Onion Waste


DFC Power Plants Operating with Anaerobic Digester Reduces Gills' Waste Disposal Costs and Produces Ultra-Clean Energy

DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 22, 2006-- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean electric power plants for commercial, industrial and government customers announced today that Gills Onions, the largest year-round grower and processor of fresh-cut onions, has purchased two Direct FuelCell(R) 300 MA (DFC(R)) power plants that will reduce the company's energy costs by using biogas created from onion peel waste products to generate electricity, while also lowering its waste disposal expenses.

Steven and David Gill, owners of Gills Onions and fourth generation farmers, have achieved tremendous efficiencies by using technology to streamline the process of cleaning, cutting, packaging and selling fresh produce. Now Steven has focused his attention on boosting the company's energy reliability and efficiency while decreasing energy costs by installing two 250-kilowatt (kW) DFC units that are expected to be operational in mid-2007.

By using renewable biogas generated by digesting onion peels and other fresh produce waste, Gills Onions will reduce fuel and waste disposal costs resulting in significant annual savings. Currently the company disposes of its solid onion waste in composting fields--an expensive use the company's valuable land. Other onion refuse historically has been disposed as sewage and required Gills Onions to pay for the volume of its total dissolvable solids.

"Gills Onions and FuelCell Energy are providing a truly innovative solution for the fresh-cut industry's waste disposal headache," said Steven Gill, Partner, Gills Onions. "Since pioneering the fresh-cut industry with our ready-to-eat onions, vegetables and salads, we have been looking for alternatives to composting our waste. Years of research and then connecting with FuelCell Energy have provided a breakthrough where the raw vegetable waste can be converted into electricity, thereby reducing greenhouse emissions, eliminating costly offsite waste disposal, reducing our energy needs, and making a new model for sustaining California agriculture. 'Waste not, want not' sums up the conservation and farming philosophy of the Gill family."

As a result of their high efficiency, DFC power plants require less fuel per unit of power output and result in lower operating costs. In addition, the plants meet the stringent air quality standards set by California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2007. Air quality is particularly important in this farming region of California, which boasts some of the toughest air standards in the country and leaves many processing facilities at risk for non-attainment of their air pollution goals.

"Many in the fresh produce industry recognize Steven and David Gill as innovators in advancing the efficiency of processing fresh produce through their embrace of technology," said Bruce Ludemann, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for FuelCell Energy. "The recent heat wave that triggered record electric demand and caused brownouts or voluntary reduction in power use (demand response programs) has accelerated Gills Onions decision to install onsite power generation to ensure its critical business applications have access to reliable power."

Southern Gas Edison, administrator for the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) Self Generation Program for the Onxard area of California, issued a reservation letter that will provide incentive funding of up to $2.25 million of eligible project costs. Gills Onions will also be able to depreciate the capital cost of the fuel cell on an accelerated five year schedule and take advantage of an Investment Tax Credit -- a provision of Energy Policy Act of 2005 which provides up to $1000 for each kilowatt -- for the purchase of fuel cell power plants.

California continues to lead the way in supporting fuel cell technology by providing financial and regulatory support. Because FuelCell Energy's DFC products meet the CARB stringent emissions requirements for 2007 they are categorized as ultra-clean distributed generation technology. This classification helps streamline the permitting process and qualifies FuelCell Energy's DFC products for preferential rate treatment by the CPUC, such as elimination of exit fees and stand-by charges for customer electric generation.

About FuelCell Energy, Inc.

FuelCell Energy Expands California Market with Sale of Ultra-Clean Power Plant to Resort
Wednesday October 4, 8:30 am ET
750-Kilowatt Fuel Cell Plant Allows Hospitality/Entertainment Facility to Manage Its Electricity Use with 24/7 Green, On-Site Power


DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL - News), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean and efficient electric power plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced the sale of a 750 kilowatt (kW) generating plant to a premier hospitality and entertainment resort, making it FuelCell Energy's third hotel and lodging site in California. The unit was sold through FuelCell Energy's distribution partner, Alliance Power, Inc.


The facility will use the Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) power plant to provide base load power around the clock for hotel operations, and will transform the plant's heat byproduct into hot water for the guests, adding to the system's overall operating efficiency.

Three DFC300MA(TM) power plants form the ultra-clean distributed generation system -- where the fuel cells provide firm 24/7 base load power.

Alliance Power, a FuelCell Energy distributor, will provide technical guidance during the installation phase that will be performed directly by the facility and operations group of the resort. This DFC power plant installation will be the second installation performed directly by an end user-- a trend that the FuelCell Energy expects will increase as more companies realize they can drive down capital costs by installing the power plants themselves. The expected operations date for the DFC power plant is April, 2007 and FuelCell Energy will provide on-going maintenance services under a multi-year service contract. Financial terms of the sale were not disclosed.

Pacific Gas and Electric, administrator for The California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) Self-Generation Incentive Program for their service territory, has issued a reservation letter that will provide incentive funding of approximately $1.9 million for this fuel cell installation. In addition, late last week Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law Assembly Bill 2778 which extends the sunset of the SGIP from 2008 to 2012.

"The recent extension of the SGIP program is great for California and continues to support our market opportunity for installing ultra-clean fuel cells in the state," said Bruce Ludemann, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for FuelCell Energy.

The market for combined heat and power applications across the hotel and hospitality industry in California is estimated to be more than 500 megawatts. This equipment sale increases FuelCell Energy's orders to date in California to 9.0 megawatts (MW). Other California customer transactions by FuelCell Energy and Alliance Power include Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, 1.5 MW; Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., 1 MW; California State University Northridge, 1 MW; The Westin San Francisco Airport Hotel, 500 kW; TST, Inc., 500 kW; and the City of Santa Barbara, 500 kW.

"California continues to be a strong market for ultra-clean distributed generation," said James Michael, President of Alliance Power. "This facility becomes our seventh customer in two years to choose DFC power plants for their cost-effective and reliable base load power requirements."

FuelCell Energy and U.S. Department of Energy Finalize Award to Develop Clean Coal-Fueled Multi-Megawatt Solid Oxide Fuel Cell System
$36 Million Awarded in First Phase of Developing Large-Scale, Ultra-Clean Power Plant That Efficiently Converts Coal to Electricity for Central Power Generation

DANBURY, Conn., Oct 23, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean and efficient electric power generation plants for commercial, industrial and government customers, today announced it has finalized terms with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a $36.2 million Phase I award to develop a coal-based, multi-megawatt solid oxide fuel cell-based hybrid system. This award provides funding for the first stage of the 10-year, three-phased Fuel Cell Coal-Based Systems project, part of the DOE Office of Fossil Energy\'s Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA). Total project funding for this and the other two planned phases is anticipated to be approximately $180 million.

The program\'s overall objective is to develop solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology, fueled by coal synthesis gas (coal gas) that will be used in highly-efficient central generation power plant facilities. The advanced fuel cell-hybrid system will have an overall efficiency of at least 50 percent in converting energy contained in coal to grid electrical power. In contrast, today\'s average U.S. coal-based power plant has an electrical efficiency of approximately 35 percent.

In addition, the envisioned SOFC-hybrid system is expected to capture 90 percent or more of the system\'s carbon dioxide emissions for environmentally safe disposal while being cost-competitive with other base load power generating technologies. The project will culminate with the fabrication and operation of a multi-MW proof-of-concept SOFC-hybrid power plant at a suitable location, using coal-derived synthesis gas as fuel. FuelCell Energy may consider submitting the project to the FutureGen Alliance Inc. for possible inclusion in the FutureGen Power Plant. FutureGen is a planned DOE research facility for advanced power systems that emit near-zero emissions, with a substantial increase over today\'s electric generating efficiency. As well as generating electricity, the system will produce hydrogen and sequester carbon dioxide.

Phase I project objectives include scale-up and performance enhancement of the existing SOFC cell and stack configuration, engineering design analysis for a proof-of-concept power plant and cost analysis. The Phase I project deliverable will be testing of a stack building block unit operating on simulated coal syngas. A further objective of the FuelCell Energy project will be to construct an 80-100kW capacity stack tower, comprised of these building block units, to validate design components associated with a multi-stack tower. The stack tower will be validation tested at the company\'s test facility toward the end of the Phase I program.

FuelCell Energy utilizes the cell and stack design of its technology team partner, Versa Power Systems Inc. (VPS), for all its SOFC development programs. VPS has been engaged in SOFC development since 1997 and is considered a world leader in SOFC cell and stack technology.

VPS provided the 3kW prototype stack and system for FuelCell Energy\'s DOE SECA Cost Reduction project, initiated in April 2003. In recently-completed Phase I testing, the 3kW SOFC prototype system operated for over 2000 hours and successfully met or surpassed all DOE performance metrics for power output, efficiency and degradation (life). Applicable elements of this existing SECA project will be integrated into the new project\'s technical objectives, based on similarities in cell and stack development.

"This substantial award by the DOE highlights the importance of developing the fuel cell technology required for large central power stations to produce affordable, efficient and environmentally-friendly electricity from coal," said Christopher R. Bentley, Executive Vice President of Government Research and Development Operations. "Based on our extensive experience and leadership developing high temperature megawatt-class fuel cell products, we are ideally positioned to develop this high efficiency SOFC-hybrid power plant that will use one of the nation\'s most abundant fuels and reduce our dependence on foreign oil while dramatically reducing green house gas emissions usually associated with coal-based power generation."

In February, FuelCell Energy was selected by the DOE as a prime contractor for this award and is responsible for the overall systems development of the power plant. Other team members for the newly awarded Fuel Cell Coal-Based Systems project include: Gas Technology Institute (GTI), providing advanced gasification clean-up technology; Nexant, Inc. providing coal gasification and carbon sequestration expertise; WorleyParsons Group Inc. providing engineering, procurement and construction support and SatCon Technology Corporation, providing power conditioning system engineering.

This latest SOFC technology development project continues FuelCell Energy\'s ongoing fuel cell development work with the DOE that dates back to 1976. FuelCell Energy completed an 11- year development program in 2004 for its DFC power plants and has been a prime contractor in the SECA program since 2003. Subsequent phases and amounts of this cost-shared coal-based SOFC program will be subject to DOE\'s selection process.

FuelCell Energy Signs 10-Year Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with South Korea's Leading Independent Power Producer, POSCO Power

POSCO subsidiary will build and staff new manufacturing facility, reduce fuel cell power plant cost, and increase sales in burgeoning Asia/Pacific green energy market

DANBURY, Conn., Feb. 20, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCEL), a leading manufacturer of efficient, ultra-clean power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, today announced an expanded agreement with its Korean strategic distribution partner, POSCO (NYSE:PKX). Under the agreement, POSCO's subsidiary POSCO Power will become a provider of FuelCell Energy's Direct FuelCell(r) (DFC(r)) power plants in Korea, and will manufacture the balance of plant equipment for the plants.

Under the 10-year license and distribution agreement, POSCO Power will create a fuel cell sales and service organization, and employ its expertise in power plant design and raw materials procurement to reduce power plant costs. Fuel cell stack modules will be manufactured by FuelCell Energy in Connecticut and shipped to Asian customers for installation with POSCO Power balance of plants. POSCO Power also will build a facility to manufacture the balance of plant (non-fuel cell stack portion of FuelCell Energy's DFC power plants) in Korea.

As part of the alliance with FuelCell, POSCO Power will pay FuelCell Energy a 4.1 percent annual royalty on fuel cell related sales by POSCO Power over the term of the agreement subject to minimum royalties. POSCO has also agreed to invest $29 million in FuelCell Energy, Inc. through the purchase of common stock at $7.59 per share, a premium over the 20-day average FuelCell Energy stock closing price. This will result in POSCO purchasing approximately 3.8 million shares which are restricted for six months.

In addition to Korea, POSCO has the right to sell DFC power plants worldwide except in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Japan. Capitalizing on POSCO's strong manufacturing capabilities and economies of scale, FuelCell Energy also has the option to purchase POSCO Power's balance of plants for sale to FuelCell Energy's customers in other parts of the world.

"Over the last three years we have forged a strong relationship with FuelCell Energy and are pleased to announce the expansion of our alliance into manufacturing and distribution for the Korean market, and key markets around the world," said Mr. Seung-Woo Lee, President and CEO of POSCO Power Corporation. "We recognize that ultra-clean fuel cell technology will be an important contribution to future environmentally friendly energy production, and we intend to move aggressively to be a leader in this industry."

The Korean Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE) has been a strong proponent of Korean energy independence. Last year, MOCIE announced a new renewable energy subsidy program, under which fuel cells powered by biogas and natural gas received subsidies in excess of the amounts allocated to wind power, biomass, and hydro, and second only to solar power. For fuel cells running on natural gas, the current subsidy is $0.28/kilowatt hour (kWh) and $0.023/kWh for those running on biogas, decreasing 3 percent annually for new installations up to a cap of 50 MW. A binding Renewable Portfolio Standards program is expected to be signed into law by 2009. With these policies in place, Korea is slated to become one of the world's leading adopters of clean energy technology.

"Over the past few years, South Korea has emerged as a global leader in the deployment of ultra-clean energy technology," said R. Daniel Brdar, Chairman and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "It is critical for FuelCell Energy to establish a leadership position in this market as a platform for growth in Asia and beyond, and we are confident that POSCO Power is the right partner."

Because the MOCIE subsidy requires that power from renewable sources first be exported to the utility grid, rather than consumed on-site, the law is expected to favor the installation of multi-megawatt power stations rather than smaller, privately-owned plants. POSCO Power, Korea's leading independent power producer (IPP), intends to focus its core marketing efforts in this sector. FuelCell Energy anticipates sales volume in South Korea of approximately 5 to 15 MW over the next several years, while POSCO Power establishes its local manufacturing facilities and continued sales growth for DFC(r) stack modules following POSCO Power's launch of domestically produced balance of plants.

FuelCell Energy "buy"

Thursday, May 31, 2007 5:29:19 AM ET
Lazard Capital Markets

NEW YORK, May 31 (newratings.com) - Analysts at Lazard Capital maintain their "buy" rating on FuelCell Energy Inc (FCEL.NAS). The 12-month target price is set to $11.

In a research note published yesterday, the analysts mention that the company is likely to post its F2Q EPS at -$0.36, marginally ahead of the consensus. The analysts add, however, that FuelCell Energy’s quarterly results are likely to continue to be sluggish, till the company is in the initial stages of the commercialization. The primary risks that the company faces as part of the commercialization include the management of cash outflows, along with the establishment of the key strategic markets, Lazard Capital adds.

FuelCell Energy Signs Federal Contract to Scale Up High-Efficiency Hydrogen Gas Separation Product
Wednesday July 18, 8:30 am ET
Phase II Funding Approved for System That Generates Electricity and Hydrogen -- to Serve in Vehicle Refueling and Industrial Applications Requiring the Gas in Pure Form


DANBURY, Conn., July 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqGM:FCEL - News), a leading manufacturer of ultra-clean power plants using a variety of fuels for commercial, industrial, utility and government customers, today announced approval to scale up a product that separates hydrogen from a gas mixture while generating electricity. The Electrochemical Hydrogen Separation (EHS) system, developed for the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL), enables the pure, extracted gas to be sold as fuel for hydrogen vehicles or for industrial uses.


Funding and scale-up approval of the EHS system are the direct result of achievements in design and test work with a sub-scale model starting in 2006. That prototype successfully operated for over 6000 hours. Compared to conventional hydrogen separation processes, FuelCell Energy's EHS system offered up to 50 percent savings in operating costs. Because of the high efficiency of the fuel cell plant, CO2 emissions associated with hydrogen production are significantly reduced.

The $1.225 million Phase II contract, supported in part by the U.S. Department of Defense, is expected to be complete by mid-2008. Phase I work on the EHS system was funded by the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, ERDC-CERL and FuelCell Energy. The sub-scale system was operated and tested at the University of Connecticut.

The EHS system, when combined with FuelCell Energy's Direct FuelCell(r) (DFC(r)) power plants (DFC-H2-EHS) provides an attractive solution for distributed generation of hydrogen and electricity. The overall co-production system is designed to operate using renewable fuel sources such as anaerobic digester gas from industrial or municipal wastewater processing, as well as readily available fuels like natural gas and propane. Unlike other compression-based methods of separating hydrogen, FuelCell Energy's EHS has no moving parts, resulting in higher efficiency and reliability.

``FuelCell Energy's DFC-H2-EHS has many military and civilian applications that are critical to developing the hydrogen economy and furthering our energy independence,'' said Frank Holcomb, Project Manager at ERDC-CERL. ``The system will also help us meet the Department of Defense's stated objective to reduce its energy needs by 1 to 2 percent, significantly reducing our NOX, SOX, and particulate matter emissions, as well as our carbon footprint.''

Chris Bentley, FuelCell Energy's Executive Vice President of Government Operations, Strategic Manufacturing Development, said, ``Enhancing our core DFC technology with new far-reaching, high-efficiency clean energy applications is the goal of our successful research and development programs. This program is an excellent example of that focus.''

FCEL 8.65, -0.11, -1.3%) , a leading manufacturer of high efficiency, ultra-clean power plants for commercial, industrial, municipal and utility customers, today announced that it has received a $4 million loan from the state of Connecticut. The loan is part of the company's $10 million project to expand FuelCell Energy's Torrington, Connecticut manufacturing facility, expand its workforce and extend its facility lease through 2015.
"This project is right for Connecticut, right for our economy and right for our energy needs," Governor Jodi Rell said. "We will be adding 100 jobs to our economy, bolstering a Connecticut company that is making strides to decrease our dependence on foreign fossil fuels and enhancing our position in an important industry. Connecticut is a pioneer in fuel cell technology and this project will help ensure we continue to be a leading innovator in this high-tech sector."
The Department of Economic and Community Development and the Connecticut Development Authority are providing a joint loan for machinery and equipment, building improvements and information technology expenses. The $4 million loan is being granted pursuant to Governor Rell's Connecticut Energy Vision for a Cleaner, Greener State which calls for 20 percent of all energy used and sold in the state to come from clean or renewable resources by 2020. "Companies like FuelCell Energy help us achieve this goal."
DFC power plants generate power electrochemically, not through combustion, so they produce near-zero nitrous oxides (NOX), sulfur oxides (SOX) and particulate emissions. DFC fuel cells are 47 percent efficient compared to similar sized fossil fuel combustion plants, which typically reach only 30-35 percent efficiency, delivering more power for each unit of fuel used and producing substantially less carbon dioxide. When used in Combined Heat and Power applications, in which the fuel cell's heat byproduct is used to produce additional clean energy, DFC power plants can achieve efficiencies of up to 80 percent.
"We thank Governor Rell, the State of Connecticut, the Department of Economic and Community Development and the Connecticut Development Authority for their support," said R. Daniel Brdar, Chairman and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "Our fuel cells -- which are highly efficient, operate 24/7 and produce near-zero pollutants and low CO2 -- can help the state reach its clean and renewable goals for power generation."

Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control Issues Revised Draft Decision Approving 27.3 Megawatts of Projects Using FuelCell Energy Power Plants
Tuesday March 10, 7:00 pm ET
Final Decision Scheduled for April 1, 2009


DANBURY, Conn., March 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqGM:FCEL - News), a leading manufacturer of high efficiency, ultra-clean power plants using renewable and other fuels for commercial, industrial, government and utility customers, today announced that the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) issued a revised draft decision approving 27.3 megawatts (MW) of projects incorporating the company's highly efficient Direct FuelCell(r) (DFC(r)) power plants. The final decision by the DPUC is scheduled for April 1, 2009. For FuelCell Energy, the sales value of the projects is approximately $84 million if all the projects are accepted.

In the previous draft issued in January 2009, the DPUC approved a 3.4 MW DFC-ERG power plant for a natural gas letdown station in Bloomfield, Conn., and a 3.2 MW Direct FuelCell/Turbine (DFC/T) for a substation in Danbury, Conn. In the revised draft, the DPUC approved three additional projects: a 14.3 MW DFC3000 project in Bridgeport, Conn., a 3.2 MW DFC-ERG power plant in Trumbull, Conn., and a 3.2 MW DFC-ERG in Glastonbury, Conn.

``These projects incorporate a total of nine 2.8 MW DFC3000 power plants, including four of our highest efficiency products - three DFC-ERG units and a DFC/T - that achieve approximately 60 percent electrical efficiency,'' said R. Daniel Brdar, Chairman and CEO of FuelCell Energy. ``High efficiency means low carbon dioxide emissions and because our fuel cells do not burn fuel our customers will also benefit from near-zero emissions of NOX, SOX and particulate matter.''

The Connecticut Clean Energy (CCEF) Fund recommended these five projects under Round 3 of Project 150, which requires Connecticut utilities purchase Energy Purchase Agreements for 150 MW of clean power by October 1, 2008. In its latest draft decision, the DPUC stated, ``...the language of the enabling legislation regarding the October 1, 2008 timeline for procurement of 150 MW directs the Department to accept the five projects recommended by CCEF.'' The DPUC will have approved 153 MW of projects when the Round 3 decision becomes final.

Distributed generation fuel cells locate the power generation where it's needed, adding 24/7, baseload power to the existing transmission and distribution network. Because the installations are smaller than typical central generation power plants, they are easier to site, permit, and finance. Central generation plants are larger, take significantly longer to permit and construct, and have higher emissions. Additionally, they often require new, controversial transmission and distribution lines to deliver the power to where it is needed. DFC power plants can be deployed in approximately one year.

The DFC-ERG and DFC/T power plants are approximately 60 percent electrically efficient compared to similar sized fossil fuel power plants that achieve only 30 to 40 percent efficiency. The absence of combustion virtually eliminates pollutants like NOX, SOX and particulate matter, and DFC power plants' higher efficiency means they deliver more ultra-clean power for each unit of fuel used, substantially reducing power costs and CO2 emissions.

DANBURY, Conn., March 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NasdaqGM:FCEL - News), a leading manufacturer of high efficiency, ultra-clean power plants using renewable and other fuels for commercial, industrial, government, and utility customers, today reported results and accomplishments for its first quarter ended January 31, 2009.

Financial Results

FuelCell Energy reported a 45 percent increase in total revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 to $21.7 million from $15.0 million in the same period last year. Product sales and revenues increased 95 percent to $19.0 million from $9.8 million in the 2008 first quarter. Revenues improved due to increased production of megawatt-class (MW-class) power plants compared to the prior year period. The Company's product sales backlog as of January 31, 2009, including long-term service agreements, was $70.9 million compared to $84.7 million as of January 31, 2008 and $87.6 million as of October 31, 2008.

Research and development contract revenue was $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2008, primarily due to the completion of several government programs in the second half of fiscal 2008. In January, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded the Company Phase II of the MW-class coal-based solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) contract - a $30.2 million contract of which $21.0 million will be funded by the DOE. Research and development contract backlog was $23.1 million as of January 31, 2009 compared to $13.2 million at January 31, 2008.

The first quarter net loss to common shareholders was $20.7 million or $0.30 per basic and diluted share compared to $19.7 million or $0.29 per basic and diluted share in the same period last year. Net loss increased as higher volumes of product sales and revenues resulted in increased operating losses. The product cost-to-revenue ratio improved by 24 percent to 1.52-to-1 compared to the 1.99-to-1 reported in the prior year quarter, and was comparable to the 1.54-to-1 in the fourth quarter of 2008. The improved product margin is primarily attributable to increased production of lower cost MW-class power plants.

The Company had high cash use in the first quarter which is expected to be offset by lower cash use in the second quarter. Timing of customer milestone payments increased accounts receivable to $30.4 million as of January 31, 2009 compared to $16.1 million at October 31, 2008. The Company also experienced delays closing contracts in the first quarter that it now expects to close in the second quarter. As a result, use of cash and investments in the quarter was $36.1 million compared to $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. Total cash and investments in U.S. treasuries were $50.8 million as of January 31, 2009. The Company expects to manage cash and investments at or above this level in the second quarter of 2009. The Company has received the delayed milestone payments and it expects to receive new customer milestone payments as it adds contracts to backlog. Capital spending in the quarter totaled $1.2 million.

Cash Management

FuelCell Energy is targeting fiscal 2009 cash use in a range of $35 million to $45 million compared to the prior year total of $66.7 million. This reduction in cash use is expected to be achieved through order flow at or above the Company's 30 MW production rate, lower capital spending, and other company-wide cost reductions. In February 2009, the Company initiated a six percent workforce reduction, a suspension of employer contributions to the 401(k) plan, and a Company-wide salary freeze except for production employees.

Cost Out Program

The Company is on schedule to begin producing MW-class units in the third quarter that it expects to be gross margin profitable. These power plants use newly designed 350 kW fuel cell stacks that deliver 17 percent more power than the current design, and incorporate improved raw materials and components pricing and manufacturing productivity. The power plants will now be capable of producing 1.4 MW of ultra-clean, efficient power with the Company's DFC1500 and 2.8 MW with its DFC3000.

Government Research and Development Contract

The DOE's Office of Fossil Energy Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) awarded FuelCell Energy a contract for $30.2 million, of which $21.0 million will be funded by the DOE.

The contract extends from January 2009 through September 2010 and seeks to build a 25 kW SOFC stack that meets SECA-targeted requirements for performance and manufacturing cost. This stack design will be the basis for a 250 kW to 1 MW fuel cell power module and a 5 MW proof-of-concept system that will operate on coal-based syngas (fuel created by reacting coal at high temperatures). The module and proof-of-concept system are to be designed, fabricated, and tested in subsequent SECA program phases.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA or ``Recovery Act'') directs more than $30 billion dollars for energy initiatives and another $20 billion in tax incentives for renewable energy and energy efficiency over the next 10 years. Projects using FuelCell Energy's stationary fuel cells, originally developed with support from the DOE, are allowable under several provisions of the ARRA. These include an enhanced federal Investment Tax Credit accessible to project developers in the form of a grant and, in some cases, on a larger cost basis; a faster accelerated depreciation schedule for shovel-ready projects; and increased incentives for ultra-clean, efficient energy projects.

Corporate Highlights

``We have a strong backlog, products that will be gross margin positive by the end of the year, and we see near-term opportunities for new orders in our key markets,'' said R. Daniel Brdar, Chairman and CEO. ``The recently passed Recovery Act should create demand for many more clean energy projects and we have positioned the Company to capitalize on these opportunities.''

Key Markets

``Each of our key markets remains committed to clean energy programs. South Korea continues to press ahead with green energy initiatives, which should result in continued strong demand for our fuel cells,'' Brdar said. ``In California, we are focused on capturing orders from customers looking to decrease their carbon footprint while saving on energy costs. Connecticut's Project 150 Round 2 contracts are in negotiations, and we anticipate final awards on Round 3 in the second quarter.''

FuelCell Energy has approximately 65 MW of DFC power plants installed or in backlog in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. Of this, over 38 MW were ordered by POSCO Power, the Company's manufacturing and distribution partner for South Korea. California is the Company's next largest market, with over 15 MW installed or in backlog.

South Korea: POSCO Power opened its 50 MW fuel cell balance-of-plant manufacturing facility in September 2008. It will manufacture the non-core technology surrounding a fuel cell module beginning in the latter half of 2009. In the interim, POSCO Power and FuelCell Energy are working together to set up an in-country service and maintenance organization and train POSCO Power personnel.

California: In February, the Company announced the sale of a 300 kW DFC300 power plant to the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, Calif. The DFC power plant will supply onsite baseload power for the facility's electricity requirements and the fuel cell's surplus heat will be fed into the base's main steam line for hot water and space heating.

Connecticut: On March 10, 2009, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) issued a revised draft decision for Project 150 Round 3 approving a total of 27.3 MW of projects incorporating FuelCell Energy power plants. This revision supersedes the prior draft issued January 2009 that approved 6.6 MW.

DANBURY, Conn., Jun 9, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. /quotes/comstock/15*!fcel/quotes/nls/fcel (FCEL 4.95, +0.89, +21.92%) , a leading manufacturer of high efficiency ultra-clean power plants using renewable and other fuels for commercial, industrial, government, and utility customers, today announced that POSCO Power, South Korea's leading independent power producer, ordered 30.8 megawatts (MW) of FuelCell Energy Direct FuelCell(r) (DFC(r)) modules and components. The order represents an estimated sales value to the Company of $58 million and calls for delivery during 2010 and early 2011.

POSCO Power and FuelCell Energy also signed a Memorandum of Agreement whereby the parties agree to pursue a licensing agreement to allow POSCO Power to assemble FuelCell Energy cell and module components into stack modules for sale in South Korea. As part of the transaction, POSCO Power will purchase $25 million in FuelCell Energy common stock at $3.59 per share (the 10-day average FuelCell Energy stock closing price through June 8, 2009) once the licensing agreement is finalized.

South Korea is a leading proponent of clean energy generation, and has declared stationary fuel cell deployment a top priority. Its $38 billion "Green New Deal" plan encourages green technology deployment to improve the country's economic health. Additionally, Korea imports 90 percent of its fuel so efficiency is important.

"We are increasing our commitment to FuelCell Energy power plants because they are ideal for generating highly efficient, ultra-clean electricity and they help us achieve greater energy independence," said Soung-Sik Cho, President and CEO of POSCO Power. "Because these power plants produce power electrochemically, they produce near-zero pollution and are a low-carbon solution -- perfect for South Korea where we have a mandate to reduce our carbon footprint."

DFC power plants are more electrically efficient than any other distributed generation combustion-based technology. DFC power plants' high efficiency means less fuel is needed to generate electricity and they produce lower CO2 than engines and turbines. The result is fuel cost savings while producing ultra-clean electricity, which meets South Korea's desire for low-carbon green technology.

"With South Korea's need for clean electricity to power its economic growth and for greater energy independence, it has quickly become our largest market," said R. Daniel Brdar, Chairman and CEO of FuelCell Energy. "We have more installations and backlog in Asia than any other fuel cell company in the world."

POSCO Power has ordered 68 MW of FuelCell Energy power plants and modules since it became a FuelCell Energy marketing and distribution partner in 2007. Currently, approximately 18 MW of DFC fuel cells are operating or are in various stages of installation in South Korea. Sites include POSCO Power's headquarters and balance-of-plant manufacturing facility in Pohang, a paper company Natura, independent power producers KOMIPO, KOSEP, HS Holdings and MPC, and Korea's utility KEPCO.

{"s" : "fcel","k" : "c10,l10,p20,t10","o" : "","j" : ""} DANBURY, Conn., June 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCEL - News), a leading manufacturer of high efficiency, ultra-clean power plants using renewable and other fuels for commercial, industrial, government, and utility customers, today reported results and accomplishments for its second quarter ended April 30, 2009.

Financial Results

FuelCell Energy reported total revenues for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 of $22.9 million compared to $31.6 million in the same period last year. Product sales and revenues were $19.3 million compared to $26.4 million in the 2008 second quarter and comparable to the first quarter 2009 total of $19.0 million. The prior year product sales and revenues were unusually high due to timing. The Company's product sales backlog as of April 30, 2009, including long-term service agreements, was $59.2 million compared to $70.9 million as of January 31, 2009 and $134.7 million as of April 30, 2008. The current financial credit crisis caused delays in closing commercial products sales orders in the U.S. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company added approximately $64.8 million of contracts to backlog.

Research and development contract revenue was $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2008. Research and development contract backlog was $19.5 million as of April 30, 2009 compared to $23.1 million as of January 31, 2009, and $8.0 million at April 30, 2008.

The second quarter net loss to common shareholders improved to $19.9 million or $0.29 per basic and diluted share compared to $25.8 million or $0.38 per basic and diluted share in the same period last year. The product cost-to-revenue ratio was 1.48-to-1 comparable to the 1.50-to-1 reported in the prior year quarter, and the 1.52-to-1 in the first quarter of 2009. In addition, the Company reduced spending on internally funded research and development $0.9 million and administrative and selling $1.0 million.

Cash use in the quarter totaled $8.4 million resulting in a total cash and investment balance of $42.4 million as of April 30, 2009. Collection of customer milestone payments provided a cash benefit compared to the prior quarter which was partially offset by delays in closing contracts. Depreciation was $2.2 million and capital spending in the quarter totaled $0.8 million.

The credit crisis is creating delays in order flow affecting the Company's cash estimates for the quarter and fiscal year. The Company reduced operating costs and cash use in February 2009. This included a six percent workforce reduction, suspension of employer contributions to the 401(k) plan, a freeze on the level of salaries for all employees except for production employees, and other expense reductions. As a result, the Company expects reduced cash use in 2009 compared to 2008 although cash use for fiscal 2009 may not meet the Company's previous expectations due to delays in the contract negotiation and closure process.

For the six months ended April 30, 2009, FuelCell Energy reported revenue of $44.6 million compared to $46.7 million for the same period a year ago. Product sales and revenues were $38.3 million compared to $36.2 million in the prior year period. The product cost-to-revenue ratio was 1.50 compared to 1.63 for the same period a year ago. The cost-to-revenue improvement is attributable to lower cost MW-class power plants. Research and development contract revenue was $6.2 million compared to $10.5 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008.

FuelCell Energy reported a net loss to common shareholders for the six months ended April 30, 2009, of $40.6 million or $0.59 per basic and diluted share compared to $45.5 million or $0.67 in the six months ended April 30, 2008.

Cost Out Program

The Company is on schedule to begin producing megawatt-class (MW-class) products in the third quarter that it expects to be gross margin profitable. These newly designed cost-reduced products deliver more power than the current design, and incorporate improved materials pricing and manufacturing productivity. The DFC1500 and DFC3000 power plants will produce 1.4 MW and 2.8 MW, respectively.

Corporate Highlights

"Despite the financial crisis, we continue to see demand for our products. The POSCO Power 30.8 MW order, recent Connecticut Renewable Portfolio Standards award, activities in the California market, and government initiatives for green energy and green jobs are positives for our business," said R. Daniel Brdar, Chairman and CEO. "Additionally, our cost out programs are meeting expectations and our new cost-reduced fuel cell power plants are on schedule for third quarter production."

Key Markets

South Korea: POSCO Power ordered 30.8 megawatts (MW) of FuelCell Energy Direct FuelCell(r) (DFC(r)) modules and components in June 2009 valued at approximately $58 million. This brings total orders to over 68 MW since the initiation of its alliance with FuelCell Energy in 2007. POSCO Power and FuelCell Energy also signed a Memorandum of Agreement whereby the parties agree to pursue a licensing agreement to allow POSCO Power to assemble FuelCell Energy cell and module components into stack modules. POSCO Power will purchase $25 million in FuelCell Energy common stock at $3.59 per share once the licensing agreement is complete.

In South Korea fuel cells help meet government objectives for low-carbon, green technology. POSCO Power already has 18 MW operating or being installed primarily in utility grid support applications. Its 50 MW manufacturing facility began production of balance-of-plant systems, which will be integrated with FuelCell Energy's fuel cell modules at customer sites to provide power for the electric grid.

California: In May, the Company sold a 1.4 MW power plant to Aircon Energy. The power plant will provide power to Sonoma County's jail and several county office buildings. The heat produced by the plant will replace approximately half the natural gas the county currently purchases to heat hot water for space heating, cleaning, and cooking. With total energy efficiency in excess of 80 percent, combined heat and power installations can achieve significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Connecticut: Under the state's Renewable Portfolio Standards program, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) issued a final decision approving 27.3 MW bringing the total to 43.5 MW of projects incorporating FuelCell Energy power plants awarded. These include: a 14.3 MW power plant for grid support, 18.8 MW of DFC-ERG power plants to be located at four natural gas distribution stations, a 3.2 MW DFC/Turbine (DFC/T) for an electrical substation, and 7.2 MW at two hospitals. The DFC-ERG and DFC/T power plants are FuelCell Energy's highest-efficiency products and are twice as efficient as the average U.S. fossil fuel power plant.

Government Facilities: The U.S. government has initiated programs to ensure that it deploys energy efficient technologies to lower its carbon footprint and save energy costs. FuelCell Energy sold two 300 kilowatt (kW) power plants to the U.S. government during the second quarter of 2009. The unit for the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, Calif. will provide baseload electricity and heat to the base's main steam line. The unit for Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana will provide baseload power that can be operated independently of the grid, increasing reliability and security.

Government Research and Development Contracts

During the quarter, two FuelCell Energy/Versa Power 10 kW fuel cell stacks surpassed several of the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) technical and performance requirements. The new stacks form the basis of a proof-of-concept system that will operate on coal-derived synthesis gas -- fuel created by reacting coal at high temperatures. FuelCell Energy is teamed with Versa Power Systems, Inc. to develop solid oxide fuel cell stack technology that meets SECA requirements for both performance and manufacturing costs.
