FuelCell Energy Inc (NYSE:FCEL) shares are trading lower. The company on Wednesday announced its electrolyzers will be used in a hydrogen and nuclear study in the U.K.
What Happened: FuelCell was contracted by EDF Energy for a project focused on determining the viability of using hydrogen to decarbonize asphalt production.
The project aims to produce hydrogen in bulk at a lower cost using FuelCell’s 1-Megawatt Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell with nuclear generated heat and electricity.
“Solid oxide electrolysis is ideal for producing hydrogen from nuclear power sources. The already high efficiency of solid oxide electrolysis systems can be raised even higher using waste heat from the nuclear power plant, lowering the cost per kilogram of the hydrogen produced,” said Jason Few, president and CEO of FuelCell Energy.
FuelCell noted that project partners will develop the site design and estimate work required in the coming months before making a decision on the project’s future.
