Offenbar sind die USA in Sachen SOFC wesentlich engagierter als Europa bzw. als Deutschland

An zwei dieser geförderten Projekte ist FCEL direkt beteiligt:
FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Danbury, CT) and its subsidiary will collaborate to develop a low-cost method for manufacturing the anode support layer for SOFCs. The team will investigate advanced manufacturing of the cell components and explore a technique to reduce the thickness of the barrier layer and decrease imperfections. Additionally, the team will develop an innovative stack technology for better thermal management, material reduction, better packaging within stack modules, and ease of installation. This project will increase the reliability, robustness, and endurance of low-cost SOFC technology.
Cost: DOE: $2,500,000/Non DOE: $625,000/Total Funding: $3,125,000 (20% cost share)
und:
FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Danbury, CT) and its subsidiary will design, fabricate, and test a state-of-the-art 400 kilowatt thermally self-sustaining atmospheric-pressure SOFC prototype system. The 400 kilowatt SOFC prototype system represents an important advancement in SOFC technology development and demonstration toward the ultimate goal of deploying SOFCs in highly efficient coal-based central generation systems with carbon capture. Successful achievement of the project goals is expected to enable the commercial deployment of natural gas-fueled Distributed Generation SOFC systems, which is an intermediate step toward viable SOFC technology for large-scale, coal-fueled, central power generation applications.
Cost: DOE: $6,000,000/Non DOE: $4,917,887/Total Funding: $10,917,887 (45% cost share)
Außerdem ist wieder der Bau eines Riesenkraftwerks in der Pipline:

Es besteht also kein Grund die Flinte ins Korn zu werfen.
Anfang August kommen die Zahlen für Q2.
